I don't understand why you bother to make unnecessary changes. N/AC/AX Mixed is the same as Auto because A clients don't exist. 20/40/80MHz only leaves ACSD enabled, 80MHz works well even in dense Wi-Fi environment condominium buildings. The more you play with settings the closer you get to the next factory reset. This is my experience on 388 firmware and I strongly believe 102 is even more fragile at the moment.

I don't remember what caused me to choose these settings. I'll change them as you suggest sometime and see how it works.

I don't understand what you are saying here:

20/40/80MHz only leaves ACSD enabled

 

[Tech9]

Setting fixed channel and channel bandwidth stops Automatic Channel Selection Daemon so it doesn't check and hunt for better channel or bandwidth. Changes to both made automatically by ACSD may disconnect some of your Wi-Fi clients and some of them may not reconnect for some time after.

That makes sense. That's why I set them

I'm confused what you said next - changes made by ACSD may disconnect some clients? I don't want that, right? Are you saying I should/can fix either channel or bandwidth but not both? Currently the Wi-Fi is super stable.

I can confirm this bug as well. But after using Ctrl + F5 it displays correctly after that. It's just displays wrong the first time changed. If you log out and back in, mine displays correctly when setting a specific channel. I have not tested auto because I always manually assign a channel.

Well, because the mouse over description says that Auto means 802.11ac, 802.11n, and 802.11a. Since I don't want 802.11a, I selected N/AC/AX Mixed which the mouse over says means Maximize Performance but does not allow 802.11a devices.

 

[Justinh]

Ah, maybe that is why I set the mode from Auto.

 

[Tech9]

Well, because the mouse over description says

This mouse over tip is copy/paste from older versions of Asuswrt and was never fixed/updated for years. You may find your router doesn't even support AX according to this tip. Does it say 802.11ax somewhere? Attention to details... not good in Asuswrt. Even if you want A you most likely won't find such client. Just leave it on Auto and forget about it. Some things don't need further optimizing.
