    Asus RT-AX86s error that requires reboot everyday

    I did the reset and reconfigured my router from scratch. it's very simple: SSID for 2.4ghz and 5ghz, and transmit power level for each band. So far so good.

    Asus RT-AX86s error that requires reboot everyday

    Please help explaining pros-cons of Bridge mode vs DMZ of second router

    Thanks all, It sounds like I am fine with one of the three configurations that I mentioned. I have Lorex security camera and ring but none of them requires me to setup any special port forwarding. I have unlimited data and free modem so I have to use it for the package.

    5Ghz issue with one client

    No, they are both wifi version. The channel bandwidth is setting at auto 20/40/80Mhz. I set channel bandwidth to 20Mhz and 40Mhz and the tablet connects w/o any issue. I didn't try 80Mhz because i got yelling for playing around with the router at the peak hours.

    AC86U - Need troubleshooting ideas

    What is the link speed between your router and aimesh node? was your Sono connecting to the mesh node or the router ? I would set the second router as an AP to see if the problem still occurs.

    Any way to see which exact AP I am connected to?

    I only tried wifi analyzer app for android and it tells me the MAC address of the AP the tablet is connecting to, I think you can find a similar app for apple devices too.
