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

    Good thought. The reboot was automated by the firmware upgrade, not by pulling the plug. Next time I encounter this, I'll try yanking the plug.

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

    As part of the the new firmware installation in step 7, the router was rebooted. It didn't fix the issue.

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

    Hi everyone, Last Friday evening, I was trying to swap in a new server, directly replacing a previous computer, using the same IP address. Both old and new servers are extremely plain setups with Windows 10 using DHCP for fetching their IPv4 addresses, and only one piece of non-windows software...

    RT AX92U firmware upgrade drops connections frequently

    After upgrading to _22525, about two days later, one of the smart devices on that network dropped. I had to unplug/replug it (it's a sump level monitor). It does rarely disconnect randomly every now and then so I can't confirm this was firmware-upgrade-specific. One other device on the guest...

    RT-AX92U Struggling with 2.4ghz IoT devices... Firmware or something else?

    I'm probably jinxing myself by saying anything, but after making the edits shown above three weeks ago, my connectivity has been great with no losses. In case anyone is having similar issues, try the changes as detailed above and culminating on September 4.

    RT-AX92U Struggling with 2.4ghz IoT devices... Firmware or something else?

    My sump alarm continues to go offline periodically for no understandable reason, so I made a few changes consistent with your notes and a few other threads just now. For 2.4, I set the wireless mode to Legacy (with the b/g protection enabled... I've read some places IoT devices like this)...

    RT-AX92U Struggling with 2.4ghz IoT devices... Firmware or something else?

    Will do, next time my sump alarm disconnects and I attempt the next edits! Thanks so much for taking the time to help. :-)

    RT-AX92U Struggling with 2.4ghz IoT devices... Firmware or something else?

    Thanks. Interestingly some of the settings described don't show up for me. Here's the instruction set: Go to [Wireless] > [General] page. Turn off [Enable Smart Connect] and select the [Band] for your network devices. [Did this some days ago] 4. Disable [802.11ax / WiFi 6 mode] [I'm...

    RT-AX92U Struggling with 2.4ghz IoT devices... Firmware or something else?

    Thanks! That makes sense. I have considered getting an "IOT Only" router configured just for my quirky IoT devices on just 2.4. It just irks me that my $600+ worth of high tech Asus equipment is struggling to keep my circa 2018 tech online... :-)

    RT-AX92U Struggling with 2.4ghz IoT devices... Firmware or something else?

    Thanks. I checked, disabled by default (since I wasn't even aware of it, until you mentioned, so I assume the disabled is a default). I had things stable for a day, then my sump alarm dropped a few minutes ago. I went in to check something and noticed that when I changed Wireless Mode yesterday...

    RT-AX92U Struggling with 2.4ghz IoT devices... Firmware or something else?

    So far I've done the following troubleshooting: Turned off Tri-band smart connect. No difference. Went into 2.4 Ghz settings and set connect mode to N/AC. Now awaiting to see if it becomes more stable. Can always configure it to "legacy" as well for a test. Meanwhile I reconfigured my three...

    Basic question on AX router AiMesh setup

    I had a window of opportunity to update the other node to AiMesh, and it went smoothly. I'm all good now for this. Thanks again for the help.

    Basic question on AX router AiMesh setup

    OK, as a test I did the "less critical one" first. Did reset via WPS button, didn't bother to unplug ethernet from WAN port, used main Router GUI to search for nodes. It was found, and I added it successfully. Yay, thanks folks. Will do the other one another time. But additional learning for...

    Basic question on AX router AiMesh setup

    Thanks. Will work on this now that I have the steps. :-)

    Basic question on AX router AiMesh setup

    All three routers are RT-AX92U, which support AiMesh. The one in my office is in traditional Wireless Router mode; the other two are in "Access Point / AiMesh Router in AP mode" So, I was surprised when the one in my office wasn't able to add the others as nodes. It sounds like I need to: 1...
