New BE-98 Pro

I know it does not improve signal. Never said it did.

You did, sort of. The icon you used has :signal_strenght: as description on mouse over.

This is the major complaint around Wi-Fi 7 products and not limited to Asus models. You also need to know AiMesh compatibility between 3006.102, 3004.388 and 3004.386 devices is still gray area

Bingo. What he said. Asus really need to sort this out, it’s just an embarrassment and brand loyal purchasers’ patience is wearing a wee bit thin as a result; at least in my personal opinion .

Well it seems that 2.4Ghz is on this is unstable at times. I'm tired of messing with it
Back to my super stable ax86

IoT and 2.4 wireless working great on my GT-98 Pro. Previous 6E and WiFi 7 routers all had issues with both bands.

I actually set uo a 2.4 GHZ loT Network and a seperate 5.0 GHZ loT network. Both are flawless, never looses a connection. I have 44 connections. I also have a MLO Network as well as a guest network and they also are running very stable. My pixel 9 PRO XL connects on all 3 networks and is lightening fast.

I just setup a BE98 Pro. Stock updated firmware. The only issue was some, not all of iOT devices did not connect to 2.4.
I used guest network pro and created an iOT network called Idiots under the original SSID for 2.4. As soon as I did that all of the 2.4 iOT devices that did not connect previously connect, connected instantly. Is this the correct method? It's 100% stable now.

The only thing that did not connect is a RT AC 68U that is in Media Bridge mode. I don't see it in the Asus Discovery app anymore. Not in the client list either. Rebooted it, didn't help.
How can I get that 68U reconnected again?

So your IoT network has the same name as your primary ? How do devices know what to connect to?

No, the IoT guest network was named idiots using the same subnet as the main network option. Then the 2.4Ghz light switches that didn't connect to the normal 2.4Ghz, connected almost instantly. Not sure how they knew to connect to that.
My alarm panel did not connect to the normal 2.4Ghz. And did not connect to the idiots network automatically So I added idiots to that alarm and connected manually. It was stable
I was getting occasional brief dropouts in 2.4Ghz cameras. This rarely happened with my ax86, ac68, and ac66.
I am ready to get rid of these old cams.
A friend of mine just gave me a Asus ax6000 to play with

Suggest using POE based cameras feeding back to their NVR. Then only the NVR needs to be on your LAN or WIFI.

This is what I had to do too. Otherwise my IoT was a mess. When 2.4 ghz devices actually connected my speeds were abysmal. I'm talking dial-up speeds. lol
