interesting! I didn't know that the "LAN" port could then be plugged into a switch to use it effectively as a wireless bridge? This is way cool and ironically, I JUST mounted it on the ceiling tonight after pondering and pondering on whether or not I should use an older (but free) AP. The...

I didn’t recall much to change on the iot for the Asus be routers. It was created using gnp and I was able to select the bands and I think that was it. I wanted to like the router and it was a logical aio one that could’ve worked in our home that fit the budget better but as tech9 had pointed...

interesting. Being so detached from wifi/networking gear for years and then jumping back into it has been quite the interesting find. That's good to know that Qualcomm is more responsive (I mean iPhones up until recently only used Qualcomm chipsets for their 5G cellular modems) so this doesn't...

Indeed his AX6000 is solid and suits his needs (though even he wishes his AIO solution would cover his entire home but falls just a tad short of full WiFi coverage). He was scratching his head when I told him about the Asus BE series router issues. It was a bit of a shock for him hear that...

well technically the decision was made on the unifi system a few days back as the setup in the home has slightly better coverage but the scalability is what I like b/c the rest of the home that isn't developed including a large shed that it out on the property would need an outdoor AP one day...

interesting... I wonder if it is worth toying with since the unifi system is up and running and "just works". I tried looking up past threads on this matter but came up mostly empty handed. I was ready to bring the BE96U back to the store today as today is decision day for one over the other.

Not sure if this is of any use for anyone or if someone can explain WHY an Asus BE96U will randomly drop 2.4 ghz clients but here is a snippet of a log file that shows it isn't a signal level problem. I've been testing back and forth asus vs unifi wifi solutions for a long long while and landed...

I actually was bored today and rang up ASUS to inquire about that particular problem and not surprisingly, the tier 1 support folks had no idea what I was talking about nor did they feel it was a problem. I was blunt and asked "when are you pushing GT Booster's ARK" to the BE class routers and...

agreed! I'm actually toying with an old unifi ac-lr ap that I'm wirelessly meshing in my garage for fun and the ease of making it work and have it just work is amazing for such an old AP. While I still do like Asus gear that for my home, to your point the multi ap route lets me pinpoint dead...

yep that's what I would assume (and experienced) but maybe it was a fluke but the 5ghz stopped allowing clients to join. It didn't drop existing ones which was odd. The 2.4 Ghz one is the mystery. I'll do a bit more testing over the next few days to see if I can replicate it.

I still have the BE96U I bought during the holiday shopping period but I pretty much pit the Asus BE96U against the ubiquiti cloud gateway fiber + 2 u7 pro wall APs and they have their pros and cons. The asus was truly an impressive AIO with range reaching very very far at pretty wild speeds...

that's good to know. Not sure if qos is really important for those that I suggested buy an asus product. They have relatively lightweight needs compared to my own. They've always been a solid staple for me in the past sans the regular reboots my old asus 86U needed every so often.

Just wanting to get a feel for for the current run of ASUS BE generation of routers. At the end of 2024/early 2025 there seemed to be a lot of rampant issues with the BE class of routers from dropped connections, inconsistent behaviour, poor range, security vulnerabilities and even constant...

lol absolutely true on all accounts ;)

Happy I am indeed! I would wholeheartedly agree that the wall APs look nicer. That being said I am reluctant to return the u7 pro XG because I know that my basement will need a ceiling AP where I can mount it properly on the ceiling. Decisions decisions… lol. It’s addictive to want unifi...
