    AX88U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_33338 2024/11/06

    This firmware does not show up when I do a detect for updates on the router app or in the web console. Yet I do see it on the Asus support site. What’s the deal?

    UPS to protect ONT, router?

    Is that a good size for that load?

    UPS to protect ONT, router?

    Any recommendations on a good UPS that isn’t overkill for use with an ONT, router, hub in my basement to protect against power outages due to storms, etc?

    When you FA, you FO. I did.

    I guess if you’re not from the U.S. or an English speaker it may not be familiar. Means f**k around, find out.

    I’ve learned my lesson. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

    When you FA, you FO. I did.

    I know this is anecdotal but started off with 3 AX88U routers in a mesh (router with 2 nodes). They were tweaked based on suggestions found on this forum with the understanding that every environment is different. I have a 1.5Gb fiber connection but never seemed to ever get full connection...

    Fewer mesh nodes = better client performance?

    Still powers up and can be reset, but started doing weird things. WiFi throughput was coming to a crawl for devices associated with that node and latency was spiking to more than 1000ms and going up and down. I swapped in the first floor node for the bad node on the 2nd floor using the same...

    Fewer mesh nodes = better client performance?

    Had 3 AX88U Pro units in a mesh (main router and 2 nodes) in my 3 story house of approximately 5600 sq ft. One unit on each level. The first floor unit died and I removed it from the mesh and to my surprise it seems like some devices are using weaker signal but the overall performance is...

    Release RT-AX88U Pro 3.0.0.6.102_33309

    Well it does say the vulnerability was the only thing fixed, so wouldn’t you expect other bugs to still be there? I’m just shocked that it’s been 8 months since the last version and this is all they’ve fixed. But so far for me, with 3 units in a mesh, no obvious issues. Same as the previous...

    Smart Connect rule steering values. Please explain.

    Yeah, kind of my issue now. Thanks for the article but unfortunately was the first thing I read. I think my plan is to create a VLAN for IOT using 2.4GHz and connect everything else to 5 GHz and call it a day.

    Smart Connect rule steering values. Please explain.

    Can you also demystify why one frequency is set to “less than” and the other is set to “greater than” in the steering filter part of the rule? That makes no sense to me.

    Smart Connect rule steering values. Please explain.

    Yes. I understand it’s the same SSID value across two separate networks. It’s a wireless camera. My next move is an IOT VLAN and set to 2.4. I just wanted to see the Smart Connect and wanted to set everything up on one network to start.

    Smart Connect rule steering values. Please explain.

    OK, I will admit what I'm about to ask may seem dumb to some. That's fine. I called Asus Support and asked them, and the experience may have been the worst I've ever experienced. It was like the guy who barely spoke English was answering questions I didn't ask and ignoring the ones I did ask...

    Release schedule for firmware?

    lol. Ok then.

    Release schedule for firmware?

    The last release of firmware for the AX88U Pro was mid January, almost 6 months ago. Does Asus have a standard release schedule for firmware, or do they just drop new versions randomly when they get to it? I assume CVEs and security fixes play a role in release, but is there a standard cadence?

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

    Airtime Fairness is default disabled and still set that way. If Roaming Assistant is disabled then wouldn’t that disable or cripple Smart Connect?

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

    My backhaul is all wired over cat 6 and 2.5Gb ports and an unmanaged switch.

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

    Yes, I test from the router and get the full provisioned speed. 1.6Gbps up/down.

    Which mesh device to purchase for 4500sq ft house?

    Oh and no QoS or VPN or VLANs or anything beyond basic dual band WiFi.

    Which mesh device to purchase for 4500sq ft house?

    The latest Asus official firmware. All cabling is Cat 6. One D-Link unmanaged 2.5Gb 5 port switch that connects the router 2.5Gb LAN port and the 2.5Gb WAN port of each of the 2 mesh nodes. Settings are almost all default except using smart connect and I disabled “OFDMA/802.11ax MU-MIMO” based...
