ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 (Owners)

I believe that is the exact offical firmware for the dual band devices which would explain why there is a problem with the second 5ghz band.

Yes i just confimed on my AC86U, that is the official aimesh release for the dual band routers about the time they said it was official for all the devices except the GT-AC5300.

But the bug is only at aimesh or without aimesh does it have the bug as well?

No sure. I do know ASUS said this update was not for the GT model. Read the aimesh beta thread. They excluded the gt on this release.

Like i said earlier this is the official release for all the other models, if it was intended for the GT it would have released on the ASUS site for us too.

Hi folks,
Please discuss AiMesh for GT-AC5300 in this thread.

 

[stevef9432203]

also interested is this feature only possible on Merlin firmware ?

No this is only for the gt-ac5300 stock firmware. When the source tree (gpl) catches up with current firmware want add some merlin features.

For now just did an installer script for entware - https://sourceforge.net/projects/gt-ac5300-entware-ng-installer/

For anyone having issues with link aggregation, this beta firmware will fix the issue:

https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/s/C18883E0461945CF958B438590DF89BEY

Turns out that there were units shipped out without the nvram values being correctly set for link aggregation. Flash this beta and then perform a factory reset and it will work. Just know that this beta does NOT have aimesh in it.

Nice thank you. Any change log other than the link aggregation?

They did not provide me with any other change log unfortunately. I will ask if they have one for this

Same one I am using it’s pretty stable I know I been stretching it to use Smartconnect across all bands using 1 SSID it seems to be better than the stock no resets hardly unless I need to flush the memory from where I access the hard drive connected and it does not flush it out properly

I have found SmartConnect to be garbage after some testing. My Note 8 connects to the 5Ghz-2 correctly but for some reason my Samsung Curved 4K TV which is in the same room as phone is only connecting to 2.4G 144Mbps. I had it on 5Ghz-2 before at 867Mbps. What gives?

Tweak these settings.

Most of my devices stay in the 5ghz-1 band then when utilization is met it rolls over to 5ghz -2. Exception is that if the signal is weak it will downgrade it to the 2.4ghz since there is greater distance on that band. If you set a phy over under it will keep devices of a certain speed on certain radios.

I did that and rebooted router. TV still only connecting to 2.4G 144/144 mbps

Setup mac filtering I had to do the same with a DirectTV STB to force it to stay on the 5Ghz Band stuff like Smart TVs and STBs don’t know how to handle bandsteering

Heh I set it up for 5Ghz-2 accept and then rebooted router. It connected to 5Ghz-1 at 866.7 Mbps LOL. Wonder why it didn't even goto the 5Ghz-2.

If ur using the new beta Firmware that was just released the 5Ghz-2 is having issues

I'm not. Even my Note 8 connected to the 5Ghz-1 instead of the 5Ghz-2..

Way I understand how 5Ghz works the lower bands 36 to 48 are faster than the upper band Channels on 2 but they reach out further
