RT-BE96U Tri-Band

[golfimbul]

I just updated to the latest firmware 3.0.0.6.102_34488 and turned on MLO and now have a "Default IoT Network" that I can't delete in addition to my pre-existing IoT network (that I don't want to mess with). The "Default IoT Network" has very little configuration options, it is set to 2.4/5ghz for example. I have turned MLO back off again and it didn't make a difference.

Help!

The same happens to me. I was force to reset it several times to get finally normal setup screen. From my opinion BE96U all firmware a buggy as hell

Same on the IOT. I'm not going to worry about it for now. It lets me flip the switch off, but still broadcasts. I don't have anything on there. I had all kinds of problems with the previous firmware - MESH notes offline, no secure dns, etc. I reset all three routers and rebuilt on the April release. So far so good on the mesh. Also had problems renaming devices. This seems to work in the Network Map section. However, renaming devices in the Mesh section, causes a full restart - though it still takes. Weird and likely a bug but at least it works over on the other menu. I'm going to run as is for a couple days before leaving comcast dns and turning the dns security feature on.

Had problems with dns over tls in the December build. Seems to be working now. I'm using CloudFlare servers on port 853 for ip6/4....I don't think dnssec will work with dns-over-tls? I also think it's not really needed?

Has anyone who's using MLO figured out a way to use only 5ghz + 6hgz bands-only, and not 2.4ghz?

When you set it up, doesn't it give you the option to pick which bands you want to use?

Unfortunately no, there's only one option for all 3 bands.

Yeah I just went back and saw it won't let me unclick any of the other bands. Also MLO doesn't work on any of my aimesh satellites either. Guess we have to wait until we get another firmware update. Sounds like the BQ16 has it working on the satellites too.

Good to know that BQ16 has it working! Wish they'd stop releasing more versions of routers and focus on the janky firmware for existing "new" ones!

Exactly! We're getting updated at a snail's pace.
