    Real World Observations to Ongoing BQ16 Pro Firmware Updates...

    As noted from time/to/time, there are Firmware Updates to BQ16 Pro marked as "Release" in the "ASUSWRT - Official" Forum, such as the latest release "ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_36909 (2025/03/10)" The "release" posts are certainly helpful, but there appears to be more...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_36909 (2025/03/10)

    Thanks @visortgw ! Can anyone elaborate or does anyone have an "ASUS to English Converter" 😬 ? It would be nice to know what these things mean and what they actually do/fix for us as End-Users ;)

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16 Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_36909 (2025/03/11)

    I'm sure the "BQ16" vs "BQ16 Pro" naming won't cause any confusion 😬 For confirmation, mine is the "BQ16 Pro" and does have the new firmware available in the ASUS Android App OH... and look what just showed up in the BQ16 Pro Web Site/Support/Downloads 🤗🤗🤗

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16 Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_36909 (2025/03/11)

    Cool... Thank you! It "did" show up on my Android/AsusMobileApp. It's "not" showing up in my Pc/WebGUI nor BQ16 Pro Support Link, but nice to have your link as an option!!!

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    Thanks @NovaPrime ! I had been checking for Updates in my Windows PC/WebGUI but it did not indicate any were available. Fired up the ASUS Mobile App on my Android Phone and it found it! I'm going to hold off installing for a bit :)

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    As @Stepalex stated... this update appears to be only for the "BQ16"... not the "BQ16 Pro". I'm not seeing anything (within Router WebGUI or online support) yet for the BG16 Pro:

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    Interesting. For/what/it's/worth... I checked my BQ16 System Logs, running for 3 days since last boot, and no dnsmasq crashes.

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    That's crazy! I "get" that Best Buy has a special bundle of a 3-Pack Asus, but at the end of the day, it's an ASUS and ASUS should support it! I don't blame you for jumping ship!

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    Does it perform better after a reboot?

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    Still worth checking Wireless Scan... While they may have good "signal strength", there could be interference by nearby AP Channels causing reduced throughput :)

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    With the Stock settings, the Asus Radios are set to automatically pick the best Channel. It's possible upon your first boot that they did in fact pick a good channel, then at some point automatically switched to (what they perceived to be) a better channel. Do you recall what Channels were...

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    As I've been watching this thread, I've been thinking gee... my single node BQ16 Pro has been performing well for 20 days and I haven't been experiencing any problems... until today! Anything connected to my 5GHz Radio was not able to access the internet; Other LAN/Cat Devices and 2.4GHz...

    Reboot When Naming Devices - Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 BQ16 Pro

    Thanks both @skypx and @dssguy1 ! Connecting some dots here... In my case, I had made 30+- Reservations "first" before deploying the BQ16 as my Primary Router/DHCP Server. After adding those Reservations, you need to click "Apply" at the bottom of the screen, which does Reboot the Router. So...

    BQ16 Pro Smart Device Not Connecting

    Worth trying ☝️ Mine is working with Wpa2/Wpa3-Personal. Some other things that come to mind... Any chance you gave those LED Lights a Fixed IP (within their WebGUI or Mobile App) ? Parental Controls Off? Is your Wireless > Roaming Block List Off (if On; any MAC ID's in the list) ? Check...

    BQ16 Pro Smart Device Not Connecting

    Welcome! Uhg... that would be burdensome to say the least 🤕 I haven't enabled IoT and am currently using 2.4GHz for many of my SmartThings Devices and all is working well. Swapped out a NetGear R6900v2 and everything came back online without any issues (80+- Devices in all... wired,, 5GHz...

    Have you tried Power-Cycling the LED Lights? Perhaps a summary of what you have tried?

    Reboot When Naming Devices - Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 BQ16 Pro

    So check it out ... I WAS able to assign Device Icons in the Android App without the radios rebooting ! Had to do a handful of them twice to get them to show in the Browser/WebGUI. So to be clear... I had Renamed the Devices in the Browser/WebGUI using the View List Button, then later...

    Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 BQ16 Pro 2.4Ghz Wireless Mode

    I heard back from Asus Tech Support Today: "Upon confirmation, the newer firmware versions for the latest models (version 3.0.0.6.102_35404 and beyond) have removed the N-only and Legacy mode settings due to design considerations."
