    What are your thoughts on the new AI router GT-BE19000AI?

    The firmware was up later yesterday but makes no mention of AFC... Sigh....

    GT-BE98 Vs Pro model

    If you're considering buying one or the other you are likely not in the USA, as I was trying to purchase a GT-BE98 (technically asking my wife to get one) while she was in Japan, BUT the retail price translated to $915 USD. The US retail price of the Pro version is $699.99 but can be purchased...

    RP-BE58 Range Extender

    I have a friend who tried this out as a repeater as well and I do not think was successful in turning off a channel, (in his case his goal was to turn off 5 GHz). As an AiMesh node with Ethernet backhaul Mode or Access Point mode (again connected by Ethernet) this may be possible, but beyond...

    GT-BE98 Vs Pro model

    As I understand the firmware is the same global vs USA. (One time I was instructed to install firmware from the global pages and was told this). It is probably safe to say that the Pro version would follow the rules wherever you run it, unless you figure out how to trick it into "thinking" it...

    GT-BE98 Vs Pro model

    I really wish they sold the BE98 (non-Pro) here because trying to import one is more costly than our BE98 Pro...

    RT-BE96U and RT-BE92U AiMesh Connection Dropping

    A little old but still on the books so to speak. MLO backhaul only available for the first node of the same model router. https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1053342/ I have been able to get MLO fronthaul (with Ethernet backhaul if important I'm not sure) between different models so long as the...

    RT-BE96U and RT-BE92U AiMesh Connection Dropping

    I purchased another RT-BE92U last month at a local Micro Center. This time I had a choice between Hardware Version 4.0 and 4.1 on the shelves, and I got a 4.1 (just in case). So far so good but haven't reached a month yet...

    BE92u/AX92u in mesh

    I was gonna suggest swapping the Office BE92U and the Downstairs AX92U. (Sorry I'm so late to the thread). These are interestingly "top heavy" models the AX92U 4804 Mbps 5 GHz-2 and BE92U 5764 Mbps 6 GHz. To take advantage of such specs you'd need an all BE92U lineup so they can backhaul on 6...

    BE88 and BE92U aimesh

    @woody143 I'm afraid in your case I would suggest forgoing AiMesh and set up the RT-BE92U as an Access Point. (Consider enabling WiFi Agile Multiband which is by default off). Otherwise I do not think you'll be able to designate an SSID nor password/passkey on 6 GHz. Aside from splitting into...

    BE88U traffic analyzer

    I have accumulated a whole bunch, then I found out within the last couple of weeks that they either tend to publish their own MAC address, or the virtual MAC created as @ColinTaylor notes. It turns out there are very few models with WDS Mode that passes the true clients' MAC addresses...

    It's basically where you select the channels to create an SSID, if you pick more than one they are Smart Connected...

    BE88U traffic analyzer

    Block the MAC address, and pay attention to someone screaming foul, (or wear ear protection)... Range Extenders/Repeaters, do you use any?

    Why Asus new Password security policy is ridiculous

    Sigh, went through the change log of 3006 and it makes no mention of "loosening the requirement" as it does for 388...

    Why Asus new Password security policy is ridiculous

    (I just checked) Both models have Merlin firmware available, (which allows repeats if I read the change logs correctly).
