IMHO the best option is to use separate SSIDs for each band. much less complicated and truthfully smart connect (as you've seen) isn't very smart.

Hi all, Has Asus posted any updates on an ETA for another beta version, or when these features will make it into the next release? Seems like a long time for a beta, almost a year since this beta was posted. Thanks

Thank you!

I have an RT-AX86 pro and dont see the guest network pro features? I'm running Merlin's latest version 3004.388.6, I also have a mesh node RT-AX86 running the same version of Merlin's firmware.

I used that video to get my RPi NAS up and running and agree, in addition to the video you do need to search the web. The performance is outstanding and I'm able to stream videos without and problem .

The router's CPU and memory weren't designed to be a NAS, you won't be happy. If you have a Raspberry PI laying around try this instead. how to build a Raspberry Pi NAS (it’s AWESOME!!) - YouTube

Try this - a low cost NAS that works incredibly well...

You can use the same SSID and passwords for the new router so you don't have to reconfigure any of you wireless devices.

Seems odd.. When your on your home network did you you the Asus app to enable InstantGuard, or did you just download the InstantGuard app? I found the only way it works is to be on your home network wifi and enable InstantGuard through the Asus app. Then test by turning off the wifi on your...

Nope, works perfectly for me. Enabling remote management opens you up to an attack, you should disable it immediately.

Speed aside for a minute, are you experiencing any issues with playing shows on Netflix, or any other streaming service? If not, I would worry about it.

I don't know that much about your physical layout, but having two mesh routers 25-30 feet apart could be the problem, overlapping wifi bands causing your clients to connect to any of the routers. I would think you could get be with one router or move the second router to a further location.

Not sure if anyone saw this, but I have some real concerns with Amazon implementing this type of technology and the potential security risks associated. Thoughts? A new feature is launching on your Echo device: Amazon Sidewalk. Amazon Sidewalk is a shared network that helps devices work...

Been rock solid... Much better wifi and overall stability. There a still a few minor bugs but overall a nice improvement over .384
