    Release Asus RT-AX86 Series Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24231 (11/07/2023)

    OK, yeah that' what happened, I mixed up the 6 and 8. I mixed up the numbers in your post about the AX68U post about having under 4 years of support and then EOL'd. Sorry about that.

    Release Asus RT-AX86 Series Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24231 (11/07/2023)

    Well, it was you who said it, and it's possible I mixed up the 6 and 8. Yes the AX68U is on the list, but it looked like the 86U was also mentioned. Sorry if I read it wrong, or if there was a typo that is now corrected on that thread.

    Release Asus RT-AX86 Series Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24231 (11/07/2023)

    A few weeks ago I read through this thread: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/rt-ac68u-end-of-life-announced-by-asus.89314/ People seemed to be suggesting the RT-AX86U was end of life there. I checked the list from Asus myself, and that particular model isn't listed as EOL, I haven't heard...

    Release Asus RT-AX86 Series Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24231 (11/07/2023)

    I was going to mention the possibility of corrupt storage / ram. Maybe the router's storage needs to be cleaned, or you had some corruption. Maybe try a factory reset, and clean setup.

    Should I upgrade from WiFi 6, to at least 6e, at this point?

    OK, must have been something else then because when I turned on 160 Mhz it changed channel selection to Auto, and enabled the option to also use DFS channels. I restarted the phone, and the speeds were no better, even a bit slower than when I had the router statically set to channel 36 at...

    Should I upgrade from WiFi 6, to at least 6e, at this point?

    Well I can get up to almost 800 Mbps down on 5Ghz 80 MHz, it's usually in the 700s though. The problem here might be, Apple limited the 160 MHz support to 6Ghz only which would mean I'd have to get new hardware to get it. I did try enabling 160Mhz yesterday, but it still only showed at 80...

    Should I upgrade from WiFi 6, to at least 6e, at this point?

    I think so, because I turned it on and it still only showed as 80 Mhz. So I'll just let it be until i need new hardware and have more devices that support newer standards that I have.

    Should I upgrade from WiFi 6, to at least 6e, at this point?

    Thanks for the post, while I was posting will turn it on to see what happens.

    Should I upgrade from WiFi 6, to at least 6e, at this point?

    I'll have to look up if the iPhone 15 Pro Max supports it as prior Apple WiFi 6 devices maxed out at 80 MHZ

    Should I upgrade from WiFi 6, to at least 6e, at this point?

    All those settings are at the defaults Asus sets them (RT-AX86U) latest firmware. The channel bandwidth for 5G is 20/40/80 MHZ i've disabled 160 as I don't think the iPhone can take advantage of it and it maxes at 80. 2.4 is set to 20 MHZ only. 2.4 channel is set to 6 and 5Ghz is set to...

    Should I upgrade from WiFi 6, to at least 6e, at this point?

    well, the main activities that would really benefit for the extra bandwidth would mainly be OS / app updates on the phone, or any other large file transfers. As your comment about the Apple TV, I went with Ethernet over WiFi for ripped full quality Blu-ray in (MKV) files as those can bee up to...

    Should I upgrade from WiFi 6, to at least 6e, at this point?

    I'm aware of that. I was mainly asking in terms of would the 6Ghz band get wireless closer to a full gigabit speed like Ethernet compared to 5Ghz. That was mainly the question I was asking. Right now, I typically miss out on 200 to 300 Mbps of my connection on current wireless devices, even...

    Should I upgrade from WiFi 6, to at least 6e, at this point?

    I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max. It's my first WiFi 6e compatible device. Besides that I have an Apple TV 4K (2022) model that I'm actively using that's WiFi 6, but use it with a gigabit Ethernet connection, so currently the iPhone is the only wireless client I use with the 6e capabilities. That's...

    Should I upgrade from WiFi 6, to at least 6e, at this point?

    OK, thanks for the feedback. As mentioned, I wasn't sure what my expectations should be set on. Yes, I'm behind leaving a functional system alone. Sounds like WiFi 7 will be the better upgrade when I have more devices that support it. As far as AIMesh, the apartment is really too small to...

    Should I upgrade from WiFi 6, to at least 6e, at this point?

    Hey all, been a while since I've posted a question here. I've been using an Asus RT-AX86U for the past few years. While there is nothing wrong with this router, and everything is working. For future compatibility, would it be ideal to upgrade from this WiFi 6 router to at least 6e? I did...
