@Tech9, @visortgw, and @degrub, All interesting ideas, and clearly I need to think about adding a SMB AP's that could provide an alternative broadcast structure for IoT devices, and I very much appreciate your thoughts on this subject. I need to think about how to best physically deploy and...

Tech9, Thanks for the reply. While I appreciate the input, I'm a bit confused about the benefit of using the Omada device you've suggested. The BE98 Pro models that I currently am using each have "4x4 2.4GHz 4096 QAM" radios, capable of 20/40 Mhz. So doesn't each have a "4-stream"...

I come late to this discussion, but if I understand L&LD's answer in post #2 above, he says the limit for most consumer routers is 32 clients connected on 2.4ghz band "per radio." Does that mean, for example, that using an Asus GT-BE98 Pro router, which has four separate radio units that each...

Oh, and Tech9's response above, to just connect to the 5Ghz band on the BE98 Pro and forget about the rest is probably where I'm gonna end up anyway....I agree, with the speed that I am seeing on the BE98 Pro's 5Ghz channel (which is 1gig+ wirelessly on a 1gig cable modem connection, when...

Wow, this thread has gone in a lot of different directions, and I don't think I can respond to everyone, but I want to respond to a couple of what I think are the more pertinent responses to my particular issues with inability to connect my BE98 Pro to my Galaxy S21Ultra. Here's some additional...

Yes. Interestingly, only my Galaxy S21 Ultra seems to be unable to connect to the BE98's 6ghz radios. My wife's Galaxy S22 was able to connect to both 6ghz SSID's on the GT-BE98 Pro, even after both radios were reset to WiFi7-enabled "default" settings (and by that I mean her S22 connected...

I also just played with some of the Developer Settings on my S21 (e.g., turned on and off "WiFi Safe Mode", disabled and enabled "Intelligent WiFi" settings, etc.), and none really had any effect. Still able to connect to 6ghz on my AXE16000, but no go on the 6ghz radios on the BE98 Pro...

That is what I thought happens when WiFi7 gets deactivated. But as you say there doesn't seem to be a way to verify it.

Thanks. The BE98 Pro firmware only allows WPA3 for 6ghz radios. While there is a dropdown selector that makes it appear one can change this it doesn't allow any other level for the 6ghz radios, only WPA3. If I recall, that is also the same setting used on theAXE16000's 6ghz, to which my S21...

Thank you but your reply really has nothing to do with what I posted and it is not helpful. At. All.

It's been a long time since I've posted on SNB, but I've run into a problem that I just cannot resolve on my own, so I am looking for any advice/help/assistance anyone here may be able to offer. For several years, I have been using an Asus GT-AXE16000 router, which most are aware is a WiFi...

AC3200 here. Don't know if anyone has experienced the same issue with 384.13.8, but on my system, I just upgraded from the last Merlin version (384.13.6), and 13.8 cuts off IPv6 connectivity. Confirmed this by doing several clean reinstalls (back and forth between the two firmwares). I...

Why what? Why is the OP misinterpreting the GUI? Why is Asus not really "attacking" the OP's router? Um....er....yeah..."Why"?

@frooty Nonsense. There is no verifiable evidence that PIA is engaging in any behaviors that were previously attributed in 2012 and prior to one of the other companies that Kape acquired several years ago (that other acquired entity was a known bad actor). In the 7 years since that...

Um, if we (USA) impose a tariff on a product built elsewhere and imported into the U.S., that's a tax on imports. That can certainly have an impact on not just the country where the product is made (it restricts the market for the imported good because the price is higher to the consumer, and...
