    Wi-Fi 7 Multi Link Operation (MLO) discussion

    That's not what I said, I meant adding channels from those bands to Channel 100. I know you didn't say it, but I get preemptively defensive about it because there's always at least one guy who says higher power is useless because the client can't shout as loud as the AP, and I'm tired of...

    GT-BE98 WIFI 7

    Wi-Fi 6 still feels novel, I think most APs are still 802.11ac. When I travel I feel like that's what I connect to 80% of the time. And of course because ac doesn't work on 2.4 GHz, you have a lot of clients connecting on 802.11n still. So... we're still waiting for AX to catch on, let alone BE...

    Wi-Fi 7 Multi Link Operation (MLO) discussion

    Yeah they're not mutually exclusive in theory, you can have a client connect to an SSID corresponding to a single channel as normal, and then if the client supports MLO and it's enabled, you can aggregate additional channels from the same band or other bands, with the main one you're connected...

    Wi-Fi 7 Multi Link Operation (MLO) discussion

    6 GHz has a much lower legal power limit compared to channels 100-128. And it can be about 1 GHz higher than channels 100-128, which does make a difference as well. Before you say that high power is useless because your devices can't talk back to the AP 1) It's still very much useful for...

    Wi-Fi 7 Multi Link Operation (MLO) discussion

    But the way I see it, it'll contaminate my interference-free high-power DFS channel with high-latency congested 2.4 GHz and weak-signal 6 GHz... Plus it's more overhead and potential for glitches. I don't need super high speeds, I'd rather have the stability and performance of my selected...

    GT-BE98 WIFI 7

    6 GHz is terrible unless you're in the same room. Lower legal power limit than the higher DFS 5 GHz channels and higher frequency, for AiMesh wireless backhaul it's useless, and for clients too 5 GHz is better. If you're not near an airport, the DFS channels above 100 are excellent with 30 dbm...

    RT-BE96U Tri-Band

    I'm honestly not crazy about MLO, is there a way to disable it and use traditional SmartConnect or separate SSIDs for each band? It's important to me that I stay on a specific channel, I don't want MLO within the band or across bands, I don't want channels with lower power and/or interference...

    ZenWiFi XT8 as AiMesh node - how to select 5GHz-1 channel?

    I don't know, the way I solved that problem was to replace the XT8 with an AX82U. Now I can use the same clear DFS channel with the higher power limit for backhaul and clients, and it stays on the channel I want it. How stupid that having one less band is actually more useful.

    Any reason to pick RT-AX82U over DSL-AX82U if the latter is cheaper?

    I've just cancelled the DSL model order and got an RT one for a few bucks more, just to remove any unknown variables. But I've just learned that there is a new V2 of this router, I'm not sure which one I bought. Can anyone tell me the what the difference is between V1 and V2? I can't find...

    Wi-Fi 7 Multi Link Operation (MLO) discussion

    Ok, so for the record you are saying that MLO or CA in cellular networks is not adding or aggregating several channels together? You're so adamant about this being wrong that I am curious what you think the actual correct description of these technologies is, in general terms. I mean it's...
  11. Q

    Any reason to pick RT-AX82U over DSL-AX82U if the latter is cheaper?

    Interesting, you would think it would cost at least the same since even if the DSL is buggy, it's still at least as good as the RT one that doesn't have DSL at all. But I won't be using the DSL modem at all, so then it should basically behave identical to the RT version as an AiMesh node...

    Any reason to pick RT-AX82U over DSL-AX82U if the latter is cheaper?

    So I wanted to pick up an RT-AX82U to be a node in my AiMesh. They can be had for pretty cheap these days and have a 4x4 5GHz ax band, plus it seems to be a reliable router all around, of course all I will be using it for is an AiMesh node with wireless backhaul. So I sent an offer to an Ebay...
  13. Q

    Will AiMesh nodes with wireless backhaul repeat SSID/pass from non-AiMesh router?

    I don't think I explained it well, since the nodes have wireless backhaul, they are basically Wi-Fi repeaters. So will they continue to repeat the SSID/password if it's coming from somewhere other than the main AiMesh router, in the event that the main AiMesh router goes down. So I'm not...
  14. Q

    Will AiMesh nodes with wireless backhaul repeat SSID/pass from non-AiMesh router?

    Basically I have a redundant router with its own WAN that can kick in if the main router dies, and it'll broadcast the same SSID/password but it won't be part of the AiMesh. So you're saying the AiMesh nodes left without a main router will continue to rebroadcast the SSID/password even if it's...
  15. Q

    Will AiMesh nodes with wireless backhaul repeat SSID/pass from non-AiMesh router?

    I know this is a weird question, it's too complicated to explain why I want to know this, but basically the question is this - In an AiMesh system, if the main router fails or turns off, will the nodes still act as Wi-Fi repeaters and repeat the same SSID/pass if they get it from elsewhere? Or...

    Asus RT-AX86U error: acs_start eth7 cannot select chanspec with the wrong info

    That's a similar setup to mine, AX86U main with an XT8 node. I think the issue is with manual 5GHz channel selection on the AX86U with tri-band nodes. I set it to Auto and since then have not seen the error, and luckily it uses the channel I want it to use anyway - channel 100. Because the XT8...

    Want to set up dual WAN with assigned clients to each WAN, but if one WAN fails, all can use the other.

    I have another minor problem now even though I posted earlier that it was working after multiple restarts... maybe I misremembered. The issue is, every time I restart the router, the client that is supposed to be on the secondary WAN is not given access to it, it just stays on the primary WAN...

    Want to set up dual WAN with assigned clients to each WAN, but if one WAN fails, all can use the other.

    Yeah, if it's a PPPoE connection there is that Internet Detection option that makes it work, but it's not there on Automatic IP... Such an easy thing for them to fix, but I doubt they'll do it. @FernandoF do you have a PPPoE primary WAN, how is yours detecting it?

    Want to set up dual WAN with assigned clients to each WAN, but if one WAN fails, all can use the other.

    Ok, I can report success! But it took some finessing to get there. First of all, when I first changed the settings, nothing happened. I don't remember if I had to reset the router to change the DHCP and Dual WAN settings, but nothing happened, all clients just kept connecting to the primary WAN...

    Asus RT-AX86U error: acs_start eth7 cannot select chanspec with the wrong info

    Just curious, does anyone running Merlin have this issue? I wonder if it'll be fixed by running Merlin.
