ASUS RT-BE92U

[NismoZ]

I see these messages in the log over the last 2 days. You can see these associated with different MAC addresses of wireless clients on the network. Phones, IoT stuff, Laptops... Anyone found out what this is or the cause yet? Google finds a bunch of stuff on different routers doing this, but I have not found a fix yet. Whatever this is, I haven't noticed connectivity issue on any devices yet.

Disassociated because sending station is leaving (or has left) BSS (8), rssi:0
Deauthenticated because sending station is leaving (or has left) IBSS or ESS (3), rssi:0

Thought I would use some AI to get a summary of everything out there.

This log entry from your ASUS router indicates that a device (the "sending station") has disconnected from the network. This can happen for several reasons, such as the device moving out of range, being turned off, or manually disconnecting from the Wi-Fi network2.

If you notice this message frequently, it might be worth checking the following:

• Device Settings: Ensure that the device isn't set to disconnect automatically.
• Wi-Fi Range: Make sure the device is within the effective range of your router.
• Interference: Other electronic devices or physical obstructions might be causing interference.
• Firmware: Ensure your router's firmware is up to date.

If the issue persists, you might want to explore more detailed troubleshooting steps or consult ASUS support for further assistance.

Several devices wifi cards are configured to sleep or go into low power modes, so I'm thinking that seeing these should not be a big deal? Does everyone else get these in their log every few hours or so with a mix of different devices in use, and then not, on your network?

I’m running the 92u at another location right now. I’ve also sent logs to support three times but so far no response from them. I did install the latest firmware and did a reset.
I didn’t use smart connect, set up three seperate networks and didn’t use MLO. No VPN either. So far it’s been good, no dropouts, no CPU core spikes or flakiness for almost a day. I’ll check the logs tomorrow and see what they show.

Did you do a standard or hard reset? Is 92u a good router with the latest firmware? I'm deciding whether I should get 92u or 86u. I can get 86u for around $200 USD

Is this new firmware ( ASUS RT-BE92U Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_37435 ) stable now? No disconnect, reboot, CPU spike?

I did a hard reset after updating it. It’s been running for almost five days with no issues at all. But I’m not running any MLO or VLANs on it. Just three bands no smart connect. No wifi 7 on 2.4. WiFi 7 on 5 & 6.

I can also vouch for that firmware. It runs well. I don't use any of the extra Asus services, but I wouldn't on any other router either. Not using MLO because Win11 24H2 is a mess right now. The router on this firmware is stable for router and WiFi functionality.

I am running this same firmware and wifi configuration. Seems to be stable. RAM use is stable at 82%.

I am sitting at 65% after a few days up and running. Do you have heavy workloads/traffic or maybe some other Asus service enabled that would be taking more ram?

AIProtection is running.
I have my old AX92 configured as an AIMesh node when we have folks in the guest bedrooms. But it is off right now.

Why not enable MLO and smart connect? Is the firmware not mature for those settings?

 

[alba666]

I do have a fair number of devices connected.
35 “Smart Things” on 2.4 and 5 devices across the 5 & 6GHz bands.

Do you disable the Asus service, which is not used on the router?

I had a lot of stability issues with both on this device. So I went to a super simple setup and it is working perfectly.

Hopefully, the future firmware will address those issues. Isn't MLO the main wifi 7 feature?

I think so but I have not dug into the WiFi7 specs to see what else might be important.
In my case I am able to peg my gigabit connection without MLO, so MLO stability is not an immediate concern.

I have Ai protection, QoS, apps analysis, Traffic Analyzer, MLO, and IPV6 enabled and I have random internet drops. But when I do AI protection, and ipv6 only, it seems relatively stable. It seems like enabling all the advertised Asus services causes some stability issues but if you keep most of them off, it seems to perform fine. I'd assume in the future an update would come out and fix these issues as my last Asus router had bugs and glitches that were eventually fixed in an update.

Long time lurker signing in finally.

Bought BE29U in the middle of December. I have been Asus mid range AC and AX router user for more than decade. I upgraded my wired home lan to 2.5G in 2023 but could not find suitable 6E router at that time. Living in apartment building. So more and more people are starting to use 5gh bands while 6Ghz 160Mhz channels are empty. Having full stack of 2.5G LAN ports and 6GHz band was my target. WIFI 7 is too new technology. Don't want to be beta tester.

I have been happy with Asus routers in general so I was surprised to see erratic CPU utilization w/o traffic and syslog kept raving about thermal condition repeatedly. However I think there was firmware update just before Christmas which solved those 2 problems. I have set up dedicated band based SSIDs so no smart connect stuff. WIFI Band based VLAN configuration (IoT, Guest NW and dedicated custom WorkAtHome) seems to be running just fine. I have not had any issues over past 2-3 weeks.

I was however surprised that Asus did not give 270EUR segment router full "Pro" firmware treatment. No option to assign physical LAN port to specific VLAN.

I purchased one over the weekend to use as an AI Mesh Node to my BE98U Pro. The goal was to replace the BE88U node in my media room to gain 6Ghz capability, and be able to fit (out of site) in the space behind the TV stand. So far I'm very pleased with it doing what I need it to do.

One interesting item during the setup. After adding the BE92U as a mesh node, I was prompted about a firmware update for it. The firmware update was reported successful, but after the 92U rebooted, it was not visible to the router. I rebooted the router and the 92U several times with no joy. I had to factory reset the 92U and re-add it as a node. It's working fine since.

One observation, is that the range of the BE92U on the 5Ghz band seems to be significantly less than the BE88U. That observation is based on seeing what stationary wireless clients are attaching to it and their signal strength is now showing versus when the 88U was in the same location on my network. It's not a big deal for my use, but I figured I'd share the observation if range was important to others.

Has anyone tried the Wireguard VPN feature?
