I am still using the production ASUS firmware. I spoke with @RMerlin and he indicated that his firmware uses the base code in this area so the Merlin firmware won't help or change the situation. I am still using some very old routers as access points to keep my IoT devices running. I don't...

I have made very little progress with this issue. I have contacted ASUS support quite a while ago and reported the issue. They asked for information and details of my setup. They also asked me to use the ASUS GUI to submit a Feedback report with my support case number attached. I provided...

ASUS have stopped responding to this issue. They requested many changes to my settings to simplify the Wi-Fi complexity but nothing helped. If anyone has more suggestions they would be welcomed.

In my case, as I mentioned before, every device is capable of connecting to the network. The issues appear to relate to the number of devices connecting. I am now working with ASUS to try and identify the issue.

I asked ASUS what the connection limits are for my routers. This is what I was told:

No, the configuration of the RT-AC66U is exactly the same WPA2 and AES password as I was using on the RT-AX88U.

Since my last post, and after noting some of the suggestions, I dug up an old RT-AC66U that I happened to have in a cupboard. I quickly configured it as an access point and reconfigured about 10 IoT devices to use the "new" router on another channel with a distinct SSID. I then restored the...

Well that was fast, devices are already being dropped from the network.

The routers support WPA3 but I am using WPA2. ;)

I have adopted the settings in that article and I have split 10 devices off to the Guest Network as a test. Let's see how long the devices stay connected.

Attached are the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi settings as requested. I should also note that both mesh nodes are connected to the RT-AX88U via wired backhaul. None of the devices have *any* issues connecting to the network in their own right. This definitely appears to be an issue of too many devices trying...

I now have about 90-100 devices connected to my home network. All devices with a wired connection option are connected via an Ethernet cable. About 60 devices are trying to connect via Wi-Fi. These Wi-Fi connection are likely to continue to grow as my home automation grows. The Wi-Fi devices...

Hello Everyone, This is my first post so please let me know if there are any problems. I have an ASUS based Wi-Fi mesh network. The routers in the mesh are an RT-AX88U, RT-AX58U, and a RT-AX55. These are all running the latest ASUS production firmware. The coverage in and around my home is...
