    ASUS AX88U Pro not working with new Xfinity XB8 that I put in bridge mode

    I will give that a shot when I can safely bring the network back down for a bit without starting a riot here in the household, lol:)

    ASUS AX88U Pro not working with new Xfinity XB8 that I put in bridge mode

    No this is not a new router as I have been previously using this ASUS router with my Netgear CM1100 cable modem up until this morning when I swapped that out for the Xfinity XB8. I had assumed that the ASUS would either just work or at least prompt me to enter my username and password that I...

    ASUS AX88U Pro not working with new Xfinity XB8 that I put in bridge mode

    So I switched to the Xfinity internet provided XB8 (modem and router combo) from my owned Netgear CM1100. I got the XB8 activated and put it into bridge mode so it's supposed to just work as a modem at that point. I had planned to keep on using my Asus AX88U Pro to handle the router stuff but I...

    5GHz channel bandwidth - "20/40/80" vs "80"

    My 2.4Ghz devices are locked on channel 11 and have been for several years without issue. I have 2.4Ghz locked on channel 11 on my new AX router as well.

    5GHz channel bandwidth - "20/40/80" vs "80"

    Thanks for the suggestion and I will give auto a try. Is it true that the higher channels (like 149-161 at 80MHz) are more powerful than channel 36 which I currently using now and have been for many years on my AC router.

    5GHz channel bandwidth - "20/40/80" vs "80"

    This past week I upgraded from a Netgear Nighthawk AC router to an Asus AX88U Pro router. I live in a subdivision where the homes are pretty close together in the US. I came across this thread about what settings to use for 5Ghz and which channels and that got me thinking. My new Asus router has...

    ASUS RT-AXU88 Pro Install and Setup Questions

    Router is still running great (knock on wood) but I do have a question about built in security. It says the AX88U Pro has the following: ASUS AiProtection leverages powerful cybersecurity solutions and cloud data centers from Trend Micro ™ to shield your smart home and all connected devices from...

    ASUS RT-AXU88 Pro Install and Setup Questions

    I was able to get the updated firmware installed via Method 2 and I also restored the router to the factory settings afterwards. Everything seems to be working well but it's only been a few minutes. I really appreciate you and everyone else's help with everything. If I have any more questions...

    Asus rt-ax86u pro 160Mhz

    So is running a fixed channel on 5GHz set at 80MHz better than using 20/40/80 MHz setting? Just setting up my first ASUS router today (AX88U Pro) and wasn't sure what exactly I should set this at.

    ASUS RT-AXU88 Pro Install and Setup Questions

    I am going to try Method 2 in the morning. In the link you posted it mentions that it's recommended to restore the router to factory default settings by pressing the reset button on the bottom of the router for 5 seconds. Is this something most around here do after an upgrade? Is this something...

    ASUS RT-AXU88 Pro Install and Setup Questions

    So are you saying to download the firmware from the ASUS website onto a USB stick and then update from that or just download it via the internet from the ASUS website?

    ASUS RT-AXU88 Pro Install and Setup Questions

    OP here - got my new ASUS AX88U Pro installed today but for some reason it doesn't seem like it updated the firmware. It came with version 3.0.0.4.388_23110 installed. It searched for new firmware and found version 3.0.06.102_33340 and I hit the upgrade button and it took a few minutes to do...

    ASUS RT-AXU88 Pro Install and Setup Questions

    Thanks for posting your settings. Curious whey you are using WPA2 unless it has to do with certain devices not connecting when using WPA3?

    ASUS RT-AXU88 Pro Install and Setup Questions

    Thanks for the reply. It looks like my current router is using WPA2 so I will use that to begin with like you suggested. At what point do I change that over to WPA3? Also you mention to use SmartConnect to begin with so I can stop using that at some point? Also whats the best way to take a...

    ASUS RT-AXU88 Pro Install and Setup Questions

    I have recently ordered an ASUS RT-AXU88 PRO and it should be here in a week or so. This is my first ASUS router so I'm looking for advice on the most dummy proof way to setup this router. Is this all done via app these and is that the recommended way for install and setup? Also I believe it's...
