    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    I updated to the latest firmware on Monday and so far it’s been quite promising. Three days in and I have only one minor quibble. When pinging the router (and also Internet IP addresses that I am sure are due to the router) I get five or so responses and then it misses responses every three to...

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    Well, things have been going pretty smoothly for me for the last couple of weeks, but today proved to be problematic. I first noticed that my iPhone wasn’t getting Internet access, so I switched WiFi off and back on again and it started working for a couple of minutes and then lost its Internet...

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    I was experiencing an issue with a SONOS Arc that would simply not connect to my main WiFi 7 network. While this was happening, I remembered a little Internet clock that I had that quit working when I upgraded the network to the BQ16 Pros (two, in my case), so I decided to set up the IoT...

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    Yes, it’s a couple of weeks and I can confirm that the same issues are occurring with the router. It’s still appears that there is some sort of DNS issue though I have found that the router can become unreachable from the clients for whatever reason. A disconnect and reconnect will, however...

    Still struggling with Asus ZenWifi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro Bundle

    ASUS dropped new firmware on the 11th that seems, so far, to have resolved similar issues with my network. At this point, if you are still experiencing major issues, I would factory reset after the latest firmware update and set up the network again from scratch. If that doesn’t fix it, I’d...

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    Well, it’s been a few days on the latest BQ16 firmware and the system does seem to be better. I have not had to disconnect and reconnect to WiFi from my Apple devices since updating, so I’m cautiously optimistic that the isssue, whatever it was, is fixed. I read through the release notes and...

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    I’ve had some fun experiences with my BQ16 Pro (set of two) recently. In general, they have been working relatively well but occasionally my Apple devices seem to lose Internet access. It seems like a DNS issue with the lookups not going through and just hanging. A quick disabling of WiFi on...

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    Knock on wood, but I reset and reconfigured the router and things seemed to have stabilized now. It has been running without rebooting for a day and a half now whereas before, it would reboot every half an hour or so. It looks like the node has stabilized as well. In the logs, it's easy to...

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    I too took the plunge and purchased the BQ16 two-piece set, and I am also experiencing a lot of instability with the router and node. I've checked lots of things, but nothing is helping so far. I eventually tried a factory reset by holding the WPS button down while powering up the router and...

    ASUS GT-AXE16000 Has Become Very Unstable

    Thanks, jzchen. I haven’t messed with my setup any further as it is working well and I haven’t had any issues for a very long time now. So, why tinker much when it’s doing so well.

    GT-AXE16000 cant save Smart Connect settings

    I’m afraid I’ll be another naysayer, but what typically happens once you lose a 6 GHz connection and switch to the 5GHz band is that the client will see the 6 GHz band as weaker than what you’re already on, so it will stay put. Even if you’re right next to the router, it doesn’t see enough...

    Dual AXE 16000 vs AXE16000 + AXE11000?

    I have two of the GT-AXE16000s in a mesh configuration. Depending on the distance between the units, you can use the 6 GHz band for backhaul if you want to which significantly increases throughput. As I recall, the units default to the secondary 5 GHz band for the backhaul and this is fine as...

    Dual GT-AXE16000 Routers in AiMesh Configuration extremely unstable

    I played with everything in my setup so I was using the widest channels available on the 5GHz backhaul, which was 160MHz, if I recall correctly. I was also using DFS channels, so they may have contributed to the shortened time of performance. For 6GHz, I was using 160MHz wide channels too...

    Dual GT-AXE16000 Routers in AiMesh Configuration extremely unstable

    It sounds like you’ve done all of the appropriate troubleshooting. Have you considered using the ASUS standard firmware? I have two of these in AI mesh mode and haven’t had any problems with them with a standard configuration. I did play around with wide channels and such and that caused...

    Strange failure to release manually-assigned IP address. Any ideas why? (AX-92U)

    One other thing that you might want to consider is removing the Ethernet cable from the server after making the change and rebooting with it disconnected. Then plug it back in and see what address it pulls. I have had weird NIC issues in the past that this procedure has corrected. I don’t...
