Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.2 is now available for Wifi 7 devices

I didn't touch the AiMesh settings at all.

Do you have any AiMesh connected at the moment or no? If you don't then I don't expect you to have the issue at all.

I Don't know why, but switching to a pc on Windows 11 did bring back the wireless set up page onto screen properly, and I was able to set the wireless bands.

My wireless page comes back if my AiMesh nodes are offline. Not unpaired. Just offline. And when they reconnect the wireless page disappears again.

Here is another issue needing help.

I see overall improvements on signal strength with 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, but the two 6GHz bands are horrible, I can only get a good 6GHz connection within 10 to 15 feet away with both Samsung S21Utra or S23Ultra phones. The signals dropped off completely when I am out of that range and the phones automatically switched connection back to the 5GHz band.

I have left all wireless settings to default and haven't changed anything else except the SSIDs and wireless key.

Any thoughts anyone please?

Will there be support for BQ16?

All WiFi is closed source Merlin has no control over it. Any improvements you have seen are not from the firmware.

The only announced additions at this time are the RT-BE86U and RT-BE88U.

@RMerlin Did Asus send you the latest GPL of the latest GT-BE98 Pro firmware?

Thanks for reminding and I understand that.

I would expect the 6GHz bands be reaching farther and wider than 2.5GHz and 5GHz bands in general......

I am just trying to see if anyone here has similar problems or it is just me; or have I missed anything with the settings that might have caused it?; or could it be a hardware thing? or......

Just found my answer after searching through the internet world....."Higher frequencies always mean shorter radio broadcasting ranges" .."The 5GHz band has a shorter range than the 2.4GHz one. So, naturally, the 6GHz band is likely behind the former".

stupid me to have assumed 6GHz should have a farther and wider range


Oh well, learned something useful today.

Hope that one day we will see the magic for BQ16 Pro and BQ16 with merlin firmware.

First post, second paragraph.

I suspect 102_36xxx and higher cannot downgrade to older versions such as the one on which 3006.102.2 is based, until I get updated GPL, which will happen God knows when.

Looking forward to this update, but on the BE98 non pro version. I live in Japan, and this router with the latest official firmware is not compatible with my Internet provider. Even ASUS' latest update tried to fix my issue (OCNVC), but it did not work. Your firmware is my last recourse. May I ask, does your firmware support IPoE (IP4 over IP6) and DHCPv6-PD? According to my internet service provider, I need a router compatible with that, and even the cheapest POS wireless router here is compatible... all except ASUS. I want to cry.

WAN support is unchanged from the stock firmware, as I have no way of testing and maintaining exotic connection methods that are only used by very specific ISPs.

Ok but it dont say if you received source code for GT-BE98 Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_37031?
