I would say it's not needed anymore unless you have some very old (and incompatible) devices, but you need different SSIDs for two (or more) routers if they are not in an aimesh relationship.Thank you Merlin!!
Question for anyone who may know - is it still a good idea to have the 2.4 and 5 networks SSIDs/names be different? Or is that an old-school thing that’s not needed anymore? My router: AC-3100
Once you set QoS check in game online to see results, don't check on dslreports, if you are in UK check fast.com at least you will be connected to local servers.
I use one SSID now for 29 clients in the house, with two older legacy 2.4GHz devices (Epson printers) + five 2.4GHz Roost temp/water/humidity monitors. I did need to tweak settings on the Smart Connect panels to make them operational. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/s...e-tuning-for-epson-837-printer-scanner.62571/Thank you Merlin!!

How can you test to see if my router is toast? After updating and doing a fresh reset, my AC88U is losing wifi connections and the guest network just stops working after a few minutes. It worked great up until I hard reset. Even downgrading to version .14 and .15, the guest network no longer works. I tried resetting different ways and only setting up only a wifi name and password. I am using smart connect. Is there a detailed log I can send someone? Thanks.
The changelog is linked in post #1.I assume 20457 will be in in next release ? Or is it already in this new release ?
There are some interesting changes
- Improved connection stability.
- Optimized CPU utilization.
- Fixed firmware upgrade bugs.
The changelog is linked in post #1.
It depends on if those changes are in the GPL (source code) that RMerlin uses to compile his firmware. As he has stated many times, it take weeks to months for GPL releases.Fogot about that, my bad.
I assume in next merlin release this new updates from official firmware will be implemented.
I have an RT-AC3100.What router model?

I like how the dropdown shows the online devices and has a link to show the offline devices right there in the dropdown.
all my devices are connected to 5ghz, can I disable the 2.4 radio as a best practice ? (power, performance, etc)
Don't use smart connect.
The link(s) below may help, as will using the defaults suggested in the M&M Config that has worked reliably since the beginning of time (at least as a start).

What can cause this?
Asus left debugging log enabled been talked about for awhile now. Nothing to sweat over ignore it.
Are you using the fresh jr QoS script with adaptive?I've run tests using fast.com, results as follows (from the same device, wired connection, no other meaningful network activity). Same behaviour as per dslreports, whereby with Adaptive the latency goes through the roof:
DL UL Unloaded Loaded Max Limit Value
Stock with no QOS 39 10 16 18
Traditional QoS (fq_codel 125%/125%) 37 9.3 16 17 50/16.25
Adaptive QoS (fq_codel 125%/125%) 36 11 16 174 50/16.25
Adaptive QoS (fq_codel 100%/100%) 41 11 16 174 40/13
Adaptive QoS (fq_codel 95%/95%) 40 11 16 177 38/12.35
Key words from RMerlin in reply linked below " closed source code".So does anyone know how to permanently disable debug logging for these wireless events? A tsunami of WLCEVENTD events
