I got new factory firmware update on the 16th. Same problems. Version: 386_51665-g8072e52, on RT-AC66U-B1.

As a software engineer, I have a ton of respect for what you do, and your contribution to the networking community. Just wanted to say that. This bug, in the Asus stock firmware, has been constantly causing a pain in my ***. Is there any way to download the factory fix for it? For the stock...

Weird behavior. I haven't seen that behavior, but I didn't really deploy the speakers until about 2021. Also, I only have google homes, not google minis or hubs. The problem I'm discussing has only happened a handful of times when my router appears to have dropped all WiFi. I doubt it's the...

Thanks for adding some sanity to this place. I ended up with Google Speakers because I found a crazy good deal on them. I don't want to ditch them - they sound great, and provide great full-house sound, easily deployed. I've taken every precaution, as I mentioned, to make sure they can't be...

Did you just join to troll the forum? Seriously, did you even read what I wrote? If you read what I wrote, we don't use the speakers for anything other than speakers. Nothing is tied to them, no accounts, we don't use them for searching, the mics are all muted, they are isolated from...

Ha! I didn't even know you could hard-wire those speakers. Unfortunately, the whole point of wifi speakers is to easily place them throughout the house. There's no reasonable way I could get them on the wired LAN. I wish, but not possible. Good info, though, to know it's possible. Thanks!

I appreciate what you're saying, and I can assure you I've locked down my WiFi with the best security protocol, ridiculously long Wifi passwords, strong router Admin login, and both my routers have extensive security add-ons - which I use. I keep all firmware current. It's definitely not the...

Thanks, that's very helpful. Does every router broadcast this info, or just some? Is there any way to disable it, or is it basically Asus's firmware default? I'm not worried, per say, I just don't want my neighbors seeing how many devices I have on my wifi. Also, in general, I think it's a...

Thanks for your response. The feature could have been there for years, reporting the # of clients, but if it was, I simply never noticed it. I did the other day because I was trying to figure out something else. Inssider can't tell how many clients are connected to about 85% of the...

Hope this is the proper forum to post this - I carefully looked. As I'm sure many of you know, if a Google Home Speaker loses wifi connectivity, it automatically falls back into setup mode, exposing an unsecure SSID, and the name of the device. I've always considered this a major security...

Hi, folks, I'm pulling my hair out, and I don't have much left. I recently noticed that in Inssider (ver 5.5, free version), it lists the number of clients attached to some wifi networks, including mine. I really don't want that information broadcast by my router (if that's what's happening)...

So, I wanted a dedicated AP for my Quest 2, for Airlink. And, this isn't necessarily an Airlink specific puzzle, so I thought I'd see what you folks think. My original topology was all hard-wired (ethernet), one primary router Asus RT-66BU-B1 hooked directly (via switches) to the gaming PC...

Same, I've backed it off to 40Mhz bandwidth, and it's been rock solid. Someone maybe should contact Asus directly to ask if this is part of the protocol, or a bug.

Works perfectly fine right now (during the day), on all devices I've used (which are more than 10). (WiFi) Bandwidth speeds are 300-400 Mbps right now. My guess is I will mysteriously lose the 5 Ghz later in the day, just like before.

So am I missing something here? According to that chart, 149 should be OK to run 20/40/80, no?
