    ASUS XT9 5Ghz from main router

    Hi, I've just bought and set up my ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 and I'm experiencing a strange issue, or at least I think I am. I have the router and a single AIMesh node. The two are placed at opposite ends of the house. The issue I'm facing is that devices that are connecting to the main router are all...

    Android Devices Won't Connect to ASUS RT-AC5300 5GHz Band

    Hello everyone, I'm encountering an issue with my ASUS RT-AC5300 (AiMesh Router) that has me scratching my head and I'm hoping someone here can offer some guidance or suggestions. I'm based in Pakistan. While most of my devices, including my iPhone, can easily connect to the 5GHz band without...

    N/AC/AX Mixed Wireless Mode, “Maximizes performance”?

    In the Wireless tab, under General, 5GHz has the option to select [N + AC( + AX)] as the Wireless Mode. In the information box, it informs you that this option “Maximizes performance” at the cost of 802.11a. My question is this: Does this option actually do anything in terms of increasing the...

    Local network randomly inaccessible from 5GHz interface

    RT-AX88U, 388.4 Since I installed Merlin 1.5yr ago, I randomly/rarely (6-7x) get this issue: local network simply stops being accessible from a 5GHz connected device, while internet keeps working. Also, this issue never affects 2.4GHz connected devices. Nothing found in the logs. Router reboot...

    WiFi Radar (Site Survey) does not work on 5Ghz.

    WiFi Radar doesn't show 5Ghz signal and works on 2.4Ghz, I see there are some related topics, but it doesn't solve the problem. Does WiFi Radar not work on most models, or is it limited to the AX86U? Resetting the router had no effect.

    AX86U on 386.7_2: Wireless falling back to 80MHz even if I set 160MHz?

    I just noticed that on the newest 386.7_2 firmware, if I set 160MHz on the 5GHz band, it will initially use 160MHz but later reduce to 80MHz (I'm seeing this using WiFi Explorer on macOS). I know 160MHz is 99% unnecessary, I just want to know if this is the intended behavior with this new...

    Ongoing issues with RT AC86U (2.4GHz - drop out & 5GHz - network adapter?)

    I just upgraded to Merlin 386.7 and found that my Windows 10 Pro desktop is not seeing the 5GHz SSID/band even after a hard reset on both devices. I cannot recall if it was working just before (thought I know that it was working recently - like within the last few months) since I usually leave...

    2.4Ghz and 5Ghz connection inconsistent with smart connect rules.

    I have some problems with my 2.4GHz and 5Ghz bands. It seems that the smart connect rules do not help at all the clients roaming between the 2.4GHz and 5Ghz bands. I have one main router and two aiMesh nodes. The mesh nodes have the standard ASUS firmware, whereas the main router as the merlin...

    Devices preferentially connect to 2.4GHz band suddenly

    Dear Friends, I have an odd problem all of a sudden. Earlier most of my devices, most of which are new, were connecting to the 5GHz band by default. Suddenly, and I can't pinpoint what exactly caused this, but now many of them prefer to connect to the 2.4GHz band. Don't know why. After that I...

    XT8 using 2.4ghz as backhaul even though worse than 5ghz

    I've just picked up a pair of XT8s and have updated them to the latest firmware (3.0.0.4.386_25790). I was surprised to find that my devices were using the 2.4GHz band as the backhaul - with a 1/3 bar connection. I rebooted and they were once again connected with a 3/3 bar connection on the...

    So I have recently purchased an RT-AC86U to replace my ageing RT-AC68U as I now have 30+ devices connected to my network and the 68U was starting to show its age a little bit (sometimes devices were sluggish, and a couple if times it locked up completely requiring a full power off and on) The...
