The ASUSWRT UI is a clusterfuck if i've ever seen one. Many options just seem to be placed where ever instead of under a suitable category. Here are some suggestions to re-organize.
"Guest Network" should be moved to as a tab under "Wireless", kinda pointless on its own.
"Wireless MAC Filter", even though it's Wireless specific it would be better placed as a tab under "LAN"
It would also be nice to be able to filter wired clients as well, my previous D-Link router had an option under Mac Filter "Filter Wireless clients" "Yes/No" and "Filter Wired clients" "Yes/No". We need the filter wired clients option. not two lists, just use the same single list for wired and wireless or just one or the other.
"Wireless"->"WDS", the 2.4GHz MAC, 5GHz-1 MAC and 5GHz-2 MAC are configureable here, why? They would be better placed under Wireless->General or Wireless->Professional individually for each radio.
"Wireless"->"Professional", the default setting of "Enable wireless scheduler" is "Yes", though the schedule defaults to enabled for all days, the default should really be "Enable wireless scheduler" "No" for an "always enabled" default setting.
"Wireless"->"Site Survey", even though this is Wi-Fi specific it would be better under "Network Tools".
"LAN"->"Switch Control", the "NAT Acceleration" feature should really be moved to "Firewall"->"General".
"WAN"->"Internet Connection", The "Enable NAT", "Enable UPnP" and UPNP port range options should be moved to "Firewall"->"General".
"WAN", the "Port Trigger", "Virtual Server/Port Forwarding", "DMZ" and "NAT Passthrough" tabs should be moved to under "Firewall" category.
"Firewall"->"General", the "Enable Firewall" option, is this Stateful Packet Inspection? if so it should be renamed to "Enable SPI Firewall".
"Firewall", the "IPv6 Firewall" tab should really be moved to the "IPv6" category, its pretty lonely in that category. also the "Firewall" category could be renamed "IPv4 Firewall".
"Administration"->"Performance Tuning" tab, this seems like it should be moved under "System Log" category.
"Network Tools"->"Smart Connect Rule" tab, really belongs under the "Wireless" category.
And a sortof related question/comment, "Wireless"->"General" when Band=2.4GHz what does Wireless Mode=Legacy really mean? is it "b+g only"? or b+g+n but capped to g speeds?
Also similarly when Band is 5GHz, what does Wireless Mode=Legacy mean in this case? is it "a only"? or a+n+ac but capped to a speeds?
Both of these really need to be redone so the wireless modes can be fully selected. Currently there is no way to select "ac only" for 5GHz. and for 2.4GHz, b only, g only, b+g only, g+n only or other combinations can't be selected. Maybe have Auto/Manual radio buttons and when set to manual have checkboxes to select any combination of b,g,n for 2.4GHz and a,n,ac for 5GHz.
Also, what I believe is an ASUS bug, with the RT-AC3200 under "Netwrok Map" System Status->5GHz-2 the item "Wireless 5GHz-2 MAC address" is not displayed at all. The 2.4GHz and 5GHz-1 tabs display their MAC addresses just fine.
