Asus GT AXE16000 Issues

Yes.
You don't have the "location_code" set. Where are you located?

In Pakistan where mostly CHINA region is applicable ( In ASUS AC 5300 it was set to asia and worked perfectly).

Can you guide me exactly what commands to write. DOn't want to mess it up.

But the question is why is it only your laptop(s) that can see the 5GHz bands and other devices can't.
I'm not sure this is a region issue.
Perhaps try disabling the 5GHz 11ax MU-MIMO

Issue is , in our country electronics is imported from all regions. Like Samsung Q70T QLED Smart 4K TV cant see it too. Last tiem when i Set region ASIA, everythign worked with all devices

Disabled it. Still cant see 5G

Yes, but now you're using an 11ax device. I still think this is a settings issue. Here are my 5GHz settings, see if you can match these and if they make a difference.

I have macthed all settings. Still same. My Channel is at 36 while your is at 157 which is what i want.

 

[Grumpy_Geoff]

My Channel is at 36 while your is at 157 which is what i want.

Your 5GHz-1 band can not use above channel 64 because that's how the 2 x 5GHz radios are split -
5GHz-1 36-64 (52-64 are DFS)
5GHz-2 100-140 (all DFS)

Changing the wireless region won't allow your devices to see 5GHz-1 if they can't see it now. All it'll do is extend the 5GHz-2 channels to include 149-165.

Clutching at straws here, but since the RT-AC5300 and Huwaei routers are both 11ac, try disabling 11ax and see if any of the other devices can see it?

u mean option in pro settings 802.11ax/ac Beamforming enable/disable or 802.11ax / WiFi 6 mode enable/disable

 

[Fanee]

Disabled 802.11ax / WiFi 6 mode. Still same

 

[Grumpy_Geoff]

Alright then, if you want to change the region then try this ("AA" is Asia region) -

nvram set location_code=AA
nvram commit

Then a reboot.
The Asia region should result in 5GHz channels 36-48, DFS 52-64, DFS 100-116, DFS 132-140, 149-165.

Does not work. still shows same values for channels

Can you run the nvram show & grep command again please from post#15 before we move on to the next step?

Asus GT AXE16000 Issues

Hi, I just bought an Asus GT AXE16000 router and: Flashed it with Merlin 3004.388.7_0_rog from gt-axe16000_3004_388.7_0.zip Restored factory settings Set it up using the Asus router app The problem: I want to see all SSIDs separately like ssidname, ssidname_5G-1, ssidname_5G-2, and...

Running the following commands have no effect , cant see 5g or increase in channels range

nvram set location_code=AA
nvram set location_code=CN

Ran the following command

nvram set wl1_chanspec=149/160
service restart_wireless

5 GHz-2 starts showing the channels and my Phones can now see it too

Restarted router to check if retains, it does retain these values on restart as well.

Now How can do same for 5 GHz-1 ? i tried with wl0_chanspec but it does nothing
nvram set wl0_chanspec=149/160

Now How can do same for 5 GHz-1 ? i tried with wl0_chanspec but it does nothing
nvram set wl0_chanspec=149/160

As I previously wrote -

Your 5GHz-1 band can not use above channel 64 because that's how the 2 x 5GHz radios are split -

If your devices can't see channels below 100 then tough titties as they won't see 5GHz-1.

any more recommendations ? a better set of commands ?
FYI : I ran the following commands set

nvram set location_code=CN
nvram set wl0_country_code=CN
nvram set 0:ccode=CN
nvram set wl1_country_code=CN
nvram set 1:ccode=CN
nvram set territory_code=CN/02
nvram commit
service restart_wireless

and now when i check , i get this

Does 5GHz-2 now have channels 169-177 available?
What about the power? I don't know what 5GHz-1 & 5GHz-2 use what "interface" so you'll have to suck it and see for the "eth" value below -

wl -i eth7 chanspec_txpwr_max | grep -v '.l\|u\|/80\|/160'

wl: Unsupported

and for channels

Quick Questions :
1- Can i change channels range on 5 GHz-1 ? i guess no ? right ?
2- Does Tx power relate to coverage ? is value below fine ? what is best max value ?

admin@GT-AXE16000-69B8:/tmp/home/root# wl txpwr_target_max
Maximum Tx Power Target (chanspec:0xe33a): 24.00 24.00 24.00 24.00

 

[Grumpy_Geoff]

2- Does Tx power relate to coverage ? is value below fine ? what is best max value ?

I think that's for the 2.4GHz band.

 

[Fanee]

I think that's for the 2.4GHz band.

But is it realted to more coverage ? if yes plz do tell me what can i do for 5g and 2.4ghz bands to improve it.
