    No, there were some preset options for effects and a solid color option IIRC

    Update on my end I finally stopped troubleshooting after determining the issue was with the board. The kernel looks like it was partially corrupted and hardware was losing sync by 20000+ seconds among other things so not much else I can do even if I wanted. I started a warranty repair request...

    My background is in networking and for years I did surveys and wifi deployments for resorts all over North America. With all my experience I can't figure it out beyond seeing telltale behaviors of a device in a debug/devolpment mode, and it wouldn't be the first launch device I've had that...

    The firmware recovery is what I've tried a few times which it takes. Did it twice on old firmware and once earlier with the new firmware with no luck. I really think this is in some type of testing mode and I just need to know the right button combination/sequence to get it in a regular mode...

    Firmware update went fine and it rebooted with the rog led white the the 3 lights as normal then on to just the solid power light and the green flashing rog led. I went to get my laptop thinking it was SSDD but by the time I got back it had fully booted up. I was all excited so I told my wife...

    Even with the problems I have when it reboots that's I've finally identified a "fix" for, I am still getting my full gig up and down, or at least more than I have with any other device. Testing from Asus router app it's about 945/950. From a pc direct connected via 2.5Gbps port (pc and router)...

    I bought direct from Asus when they came in stock a couple weeks ago. It makes no sense to me and I can't see how this specific issue would indicate a hardware problem. I'm wondering if there was some testing on some of the first batch of units and they're stuck with some maintenance mode...

    I finally got it up after replacing it with my old router for a bit to try to figure it out. Maybe I'm just out of the loop but the issue seems an odd choice if by design. The router is only coming online at boot if I have WAN connected and have a computer direct connected to the LAN ports...

    I made some changes after I noticed my Hue Sync box wasn't connecting and never could get it to reconnect, so I reverted back to the settings backup I had prior to the changes and the router never came back up. Started doing a green pulse with the big LED display with only the power button lit...

    I tried the smart connect setup during troubleshooting and it seemed to resolve, at least temporarily. I'll be back soon and will have more time to monitor then.

    Nice! Since it came online last night it's been rock solid. I had constant issues with qos on the axe11000 but so far "it just works." I wish I got to play with it more before I leave for a week but maybe some other paid beta users will have theirs and some other useful info when I get back lol.

    GT-AXE16000 Owner's Thread

    Initial setup was a blast. All ports shut at boot with a one minute boot cycle, no wifi, no Lan. Ultimately putting it in recovery mode and applying the firmware from the Asus site TWICE resolved it. Placebo or not wifi appears to be notably better (>10% more) throughput on wifi 6. I've got...

    Newly registered but lurker for a while. Mine was just delivered to Texas from the Asus store. Looking forward to testing it out! Just bought an AXE11000 2 weeks ago so I'm looking forward to seeing the difference! (Both boxes for comparison if anyone cares)
