Unless you have a specific use case, I wouldn't bother replacing this router whilst it's still supported. I'm happy with the router and WiFi 6. 160 mhz ax will give you 1gbps on the AX-92u. I run 80 mhz channels which is 500mbps, more than enough for streamers, phones and tablets. Anything that...

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I've had a number of messages regarding OFDMA and this is the initial thread I replied to. OFDMA is only necessary if you have a large number of stations on your network. The purpose of OFDMA is not to make an individuals download speed faster, it's to...

The biggest jump in performance I've noticed is having AX. This is the step up that gives you increased performance, lower latency, increased range and improved power consumption for your devices. I've not looked into WiFi 7 as we are very happy with our AX setup. Just pick a modern Asus mesh...

I'm trying to disable VLANs so that I can have my Eth and WiFi networks share the same subnet. Currently they can't see each other. I've looked everywhere but cannot find the VLAN settings, there's no tab in the LAN page. Can anybody help? My routers are AX92u's.

My bufferbloat rating is C. Unloaded is 12ms (11ms is the lowest ping I can ever get due to my ISP) Downloading 40ms Uploading 100ms However.... If I ping on another machine whilst one is downloading, it's still only 11ms. The same is true if I also have another machine tormenting as well...

I have 2 networks. OFDMA + MU-MIMO helped to improve latency in my "work" network. It's not an office, it's a group of Airbnb apartments sharing symmetrical 1Gb WAN. On the ax only channel, there are over 100 active ax STA's, approximately 40 of those are real people streaming and gaming. The...

If you want 160mhz to work, set the control channel to 100. This works in the UK, it might be different in other countries. One point worth noting is it can take a while (can't remember exact time) for the DFS channel to be cleared and active. Obviously, the wider the channel, the more chance...

160mhz has an obvious speed advantage. However, I've noticed lower pings under load on 80mhz. 80mhz also seems to offer higher throughput at further distances. I suppose it depends on what your devices are used for. If you are regularly copying huge files, use 160mhz, else drop down to 80mhz...

There are other people here with bigger networks who have shared their screens. Regarding topology, 2 nodes are connected off the backs of other nodes. Lower latency is one of the benefits of AX over AC. OFDMA helped in mitigating a lot of the bandwidth issues associated with a shared backhaul...

"Downgrade" your 2.4ghz band to the bare minimum. This will reduce compatibility issues and drop outs. Disable all modern features. For example beamforming, mu-mimo. Disable ax on this channel. I use 2.4ghz as a legacy channel for old devices and IOT devices. On this band, reliability is more...

To those with issues, have you tried performing a hard reset and reinstalling the firmware?

Please let us know if your upgrades are clean or dirty.

So we finally got the update. Also interested to see how people get on with this. As it's been so long, it's probably a good idea to do a clean upgrade?

The AX92u is fine for building a mesh system, however there are newer options available now. There was some horrible bugs with the firmware in the early days but these have all been patched. The ongoing issue this router has is related to the guest network. As tech9 has stated, the AX92u was...

I require low latency due to my job (every ms counts). We short listed 2 routers. The AX86u and the AX92u. The AX92u consistently beats the AX86U in latency tests by 2ms - 4ms, both unloaded and under load. It's reasonable to assume the XT8 and XT12 also have lower latency but do your own...
