    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...

    ASUS AXE16000 versions?

    Mine are the same as yours, Vietnam and 2022, and I’ve not had any serious problems. You should have a couple of weeks to try it out before having to return it if you run into issues.

    GT-AXE16000 Owner's Thread

    If it helps, my system is working with just under 100 devices, but keep in mind that I have two GT-AXE16000s in an AI mesh configuration and the devices happen to be pretty well split between connecting to the router and the node.

    Yes, the back haul defaults to the second 5GHz band. I am using the current ASUS firmware.

    GT-AXE16000 Owner's Thread

    @Prasanna Ariyanayagam, I have two of these in AI mesh mode and they are working great, providing me with the best WiFi speeds that I’ve ever had. I did run into a little trouble when playing with the radio band channel widths and DFS channels, but if I leave them at the defaults, everything...

    ASUS GT-AXE16000 Has Become Very Unstable

    There’s an air strip several miles away, but I don’t think that it would present any problems. Who knows. I’ll continge testing to see what will work reliably. Even if none of the expanded channels/bandwidth prove to be reliable, I’m still getting the best WiFi performance I’ve ever had, so...

    ASUS GT-AXE16000 Has Become Very Unstable

    I found what was causing the instability. I had the 2.4GHz band set to 40MHz wide and had enabled 160MHz channel width along with DFS channels on the 5GHz bands. I also set the 6GHz band to 160MHz wide channels. After turning all of these features off, the network is once again stable and I...

    ASUS GT-AXE16000 Has Become Very Unstable

    I have been having all kinds of difficulties with my GT-AXE16000 setup as of late. When I first got two of these and set them up in an AI mesh configuration all was well and they worked flawlessly giving me the fastest WiFi speeds that I have ever had in my home. I was very happy with them...

    GT-AXE16000 Owner's Thread

    My GT-AXE16000 just experienced a brief WiFi outage. It knocked everything off of WiFi (no WiFi signal) for about 30 seconds. I ran into my office to check the status lights, but all appeared to be normal and right after that, everything came back and my devices reconnected. Any thoughts on...
