    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    Yes this is my problem. When the AX mode is enabled my 3 google speakers and 1 LG sound bar doesn't see any SSID. When I disabled AX on the 2.4Ghz range my LG sound bar and google speakers work So if I enable smart connect they wouldn't see any SSID unless I disable AX and that's on everything...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    Just looked into smart connect and this doesn't help my issue. When enabling this feature you can't turn off AX mode per 2.4Ghz and or 5Ghz. When enabled you can only turn it off fully and that's it. So turns it off for ALL wireless devices. So what is the point of having a AX router when you...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    I don't move my PC around so its always got a good signal and doesn't drop that low If run a speed test on 2.4 compare to 5, 5 wins hands down all the time and constant because it doesn't roam around the room/s

    You will not have a problem using 2 separate SSID. If you configure a device to use 5Ghz its not going to waste battery trying to connect to a 2.4Ghz which it doesn't know about, so doesn't waste any more battery I mostly use 5Ghz here at home but have 2 or 3 old devices [ Raspberry PI Zero W...

    But that doesn't fix the issues. If the device decides to use 5Ghz it can't because its on AX mode

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta is now available

    You don't want to enable smart connect as causes lots of problems I heard. You want to setup separate 2.4 and 5Ghz networks rather than the horrible smart mode When I reset the Google Home device then a new setup its not able to see the 5Ghz wifi and only the 2.4Ghz which is the problem. On my...
