    Hey @Dodgydrains Good to know! What date did you update and has it continued to remain stable for you?

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    On-the-other-hand... I had an extra minute and ran a Google Search: "does the new iphone indicate when it's connected to wifi7" Looks like you might have to log into your Asus Router for an indicator.

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    My apologies! Yes, I did see that re iPhone. I'm on Android and only has Wi-Fi 6. It "does" indicate when connected via Wi-Fi 6 with a little "6" next to the Wi-Fi Icon at the top of the phone. Very little knowledge with iPhones, so hopefully someone with iPhone will chime in :) Maybe...

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    Good Morning @Poppys33d ! Wow... GREAT find, which impacts so much more than just your Asus Router/Mesh system!!! So were they wired as simple "straight-through" connections (not separating one twisted pair onto pins 3+6 Orange/White Orange; Or Green/White Green) (and reversing the sequence of...

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    Bummer for sure! Some other things that come to mind... Is there anything in your AC at this location that could be problematic (either plugged directly into a GFCI receptacle... or this receptacle is wired in series with another GFCI down-chain from the receptacle you're using) (or an...

    ASUS ZenWiFi BD5 Outdoor Transmission Power

    Ahhh... thanks all! I think I found it. The FCC Certification Number is MSQ-RTBE8300 for ASUS ZenWiFi BD5 Outdoor. Previously, I was only finding the BD5 (indoor). From Page #50 of the Radio Test Report found at https://device.report/fccid/msq-rtbe8300, looks like the unit is capable of...

    ASUS ZenWiFi BD5 Outdoor Transmission Power

    I can't seem to find the actual Wi-Fi Transmission Power specs on this unit. Does anyone have any idea?

    Smart! Good approach! What's your typical number of days (or hours) before the issue(s) rear their ugly heads? Let's hope "something" brings you some stability/relief until ASUS gets things smoothed out 🤞

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    Hi @Poppys33d I forgot to check my Basic Network Page. I have the WiFi 7 & MLO Features disabled there too on each of the Radios. Note: I know... perhaps defeats the purpose of having a WiFi 7 Router, but on the other-hand, until ASUS (and other Manufacturers) get WiFi 7 working properly...

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    Thanks for giving it a try @Poppys33d! I'll be interested in knowing if it stabilizes with these settings. Unfortunately, that has been the case for me with countless electronic devices, including Routers, TV's, and many more. I refrain from a software reboot whenever possible. There's...

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    Uhg! For the fun of it, can you compare all of your settings to mine and assure they are the "same", then Power-Cycle all 3 Nodes? Make note of what you changed for reference. Also, have you performed a Wireless Survey and locked down the Channels to make sure they are not competing with...

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    Hey @Poppys33d I'm currently on v3.0.0.6.102_36869 and frankly, Scared As Hell to upgrade 😱 Things have been almost 100% rock-solid, 81+- devices, both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, Only one on 6GHz. Up/running since Feb 2025. I only have one ASUS BQ16 Pro, acting as my main/only Router/DHCP (no Mesh...

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    Yikes! That does not sound like fun! Fortunately, I haven't had that problem (since Feb 2025 purchase). Guessing you might already have your Asus Router and ISP Modem on a big/fat battery backup.... but just in case... that might help at least during 0-30 minute power outages. Is your ISP...
