    Remote connection with CG-NAT

    I'm intrigued as to how the smart devices remain accessible when a VPN can't connect. The Huawei is fairly limited and doesn't support remote admin so I can only fiddle with it when in France. I use it because a) I need a 4G router as it's in the sticks with no phone lines or fibre for miles and...

    Asus AX86u 2.4GHz WiFi Interference Issue

    Do you have any USB device plugged into the router? Are there any un configured "smart" devices trying to connect to your WIFI?

    MLO: What exactly is Smart Connect's role?

    Had already checked out the Asus article you linked to but that doesn't provide any detail on how Smart Connect integrates into MLO; again, these two features seem to contradict one another. MLO = supposed to use all bands simultaneously. Smart Connect = switches bands based on configured...

    GT-BE98 WIFI 7

    I think, smart connect with AI mesh will disable WiFi7. I cannot confirm now as I returned the router.

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    if you had better perf using one comcast router why not getrid of mesh and "smart" connect assign clirents a channel each in2.4 and 5 ghz

    WiFi Smart connect - Enable Load Balance.

    My answer was that SC performs band steering for best client connection, not for load balancing. See Network Tools\Smart Connect Rules for additional control over SC band steering. OE

    Band steering in Asus Merlin

    ...at least the plan, to make them all available) + vlan would result in 4x4 = 16 SSIDs - that's too much for our casual users. With smart connect disabled, it works reliable for the 2G/5G-1 combo (even so on smartphones one needs to use 'phone' instead of 'random' macaddress to be able to join...

    12V ASUS router with the longest 2.4GHz WiFi range

    Some smart devices are not too smart. Your best bet is to use the router default WIFI settings including Dual Band SmartConnect. This includes using WPA2-PERSONAL.

    Is it a good or bad idea to split SSIDS?

    I just use Smart Connect. Hasn't let me down yet.

    Remote connection with CG-NAT

    The smart devices are most likely connecting to servers on the internet from which they receive control information and are able to tunnel back into your network. You would have to do the same thing. Establish a VPS (Virtual Private Server) from the likes of Digital Ocean, Linode, etc., install...

    Tuya (topgreener) smart plug will not setup on RT-AX88U Pro

    The MAC address is not printed on the smart plugs. I would need to use another router to connect them and extract the MAC that way.

    Samsung 5Ghz becomes 2.4 GHz

    I am not using Smart Connect. I have seperated my networks into Banhof-2.4Ghz and the other one to Banhof-5Ghz. I never connected with phone to 2.4Ghz. In print screen, you can see i am connected to Banhof-5Ghz, but it still shows 2.4GHz. After reading madre comments it seems like a possible...

    Remote connection with CG-NAT

    Sorry if I've caused confusion. I think the only answer is going to be a fixed IP. My ISP is Toob but that doesn't alter the network architecture used by their wholesaler, City Fibre. Asus provide their own DDNS service and using their DDNS URL for my UK router I can get straight on to the...

    vlan hardware

    The equipment you have proposed using should enable you to accomplish what you want. The smart switch you have will let you create port based VLANs. Multiple ports should be able to be assigned to the same VLAN. You have correctly disabled Wi-Fi on the primary network facing router. All...

    Asus AX86u 2.4GHz WiFi Interference Issue

    No USB device plugged in. The only other devices I have that use 2.4GHz WiFi that are somewhat data hungry with transmission are: -3 Ring Cameras -3 Wyze Cams -3 Eufy E330 cameras to HomeBase 3 which has its own wifi network. I also tried switching the Eufy homebase to Channel 1 so its not the...

    Band steering in Asus Merlin

    IIRC, you have shared your experiences with smart connect here a few times. I also use smart connect, I personally have never had any issues. But I find it important for the user to see other users experiences. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
