[freddyjuarez]

OMG after not being able to use the router after installing Merlin Firmware beta and doing a hard reset.... The problem was fixed by doing a nvram erase && reboot I'm back to using the router we are good now....

After the hard reset, can I restore the backup settings without having to reconfigure everything from scratch?

no put in settings manually do not use backup from previuos FW

VLAN is currently not supported by models that support Asus Smart Home Master. No idea if that will ever change in the future.

Thanks just sent the router back , did not even bother to unpack it once I read this . I avoid most things with smart as a selling point , I would rather be in control of how I set up my networks . Nothing "smart" in my house , like keeping things stupid

Smart Home isn't about automation, it's about providing a simpler, more user friendly way of managing the network through the mobile app. The name is just marketing fluff, you can totally ignore it - the only drawback is currently, manual VLAN configuration is not available for devices supporting this feature.

The feature seem to mostly be available on some Zen Wifi models, as well as more mid-range Wifi 7 models like the RT-BE58U and RT-BE92U.

Thanks , that is just what I was looking for . And you seem to be giving the router a good workout , if it is stable with all you are running should have no problems with my setup

The 6 Ghz range

Have you seen an improvement on the 2.4 and 5Ghz bands ?? And what kind of range do you have with wifi 7 clients .?

The range of 6 GHz is about 80 percent of 5 GHz, I can't measure real Wifi 7 because that would require MLO, but it should also be kept in mind that 6 GHz is currently only stable with Power Saving mode.

Thanks for the valuable information.

thanks for the valuable information. I‘ll have to wait then for a new model release from ASUS in a year or two. I can’t justify the price I would need to pay for quad bands in my use environment.

Let's hope this model will be good too someday, if ASUS finally solve it with software.
I only kept it because I was able to buy it very cheaply and I trust that it will be good one day.
In the meantime, I can use the other functions with Merlin,
and it seems to work properly even under heavy load, all it needs is 6 GHz operating at full signal strength and MLO.

Returning to the coverage, I measured these from a distance of 15 meters, through 2 walls:

I used the previous FW, and it seemed to be working fine.
