I tried disabling both, but it didn't make any difference. The sad thing is, no one other than you and me cares about this anymore.. There used to be Reddit posts about this, but it's been silent for a few months already..
Well, I'm more than happy to keep tinkering and testing! Please feel free to DM me if you want to compare set ups or configurations etc
At the moment, I'm hoping for a firmware update on the router-side to see if it makes any difference - only because the S24U has had multiple updates and the experience hasn't changed.
I don't know if it's the router or S24U, or a specific combination at the moment although my 2 gaming PC's with BE200 cards don't experience the same issue - however, those are desktop machines so they are not roaming around the house!
We live in a fairly new build 3 story townhouse in the UK, the BE98 is currently located on the ground floor next to the furthest point on one side of the house (as that's where the ONT is), my PC is on the next floor up but on the opposite side of the house with my son's PC located in the room directly above that. I get good signal on the 6GHz band on my PC (Windows shows all bars on the taskbar and I see the full 1Gbps down and 100mbps up from my Sky Fibre line, 320 MHz channel 69), my son's PC is still on the older Intel antenna from the previous AX201 card and his machine gets OK reception according to the ASUS app, he sees 2-3 bars on the Windows taskbar on either 5GHz-1 (80MHz channel 60) or 5GHz-2 (160MHz channel 100), he sees around 400-500mbps down and the full 100mbps down. I've tried the same type of ASUS WiFi 6E antenna that I use on my machine with his, but couldn't get as good a reception.
(Just for info, there are only Sky broadband users near me, their 5GHz is 80MHz on either channel 36 or 40, as such I currently use the 'spare' 80MHz on the non-DFS range and 160MHz on the unused DFS range - there are no 6GHz users near me so I can use the full 320MHz channel width without any guilt!)
Just thinking, I initially had the BE98 set up with separated SSID's for each radio and the disconnections would regularly occur with the S24U when I was on 6GHz in the furthest point of the house, as expected - the disconnections I experience now using MLO appears to manifest itself in the same way. However, I'd expect MLO / Smart Connect to seamlessly migrate to either the 2.4 or 5GHz channels, which doesn't appear to occur.
