    Asus Router recommendation?

    Does the RT-AX88U have 2.4, 5.1 and 5.2 GHz radios ? Also does it have 9 guest network capability as the RT-AC5300 does ? Thinking about switching but the specs online are a bit confusing . . . Thx !

    Asus Router recommendation?

    I thought I saw it had only one 5Ghz band rather than 5.1 and 5.2 but I may have been mistaken -

    Asus Router recommendation?

    Only 2 bands on this one ? Losing one of the 5Ghz bands didn’t bother anyone ?

    Hi - Reboot didn’t do anything. Can still see and comm with other devices on same guest network. Again set AP isolation on the 5.1 channel in Pro settings. Researched things but don’t see this as a common issue. Any insights ?

    Thanks L&LD - Using NetAnalyzer (app on iOS) to see what else on the WiFi SSID. And will indeed reboot and see if that works. Will let you know

    L&LD. Just wanted to let you know that the full reset and M&M did the trick - I had a dead 5.1 radio on my new router, but RMAed it and all good now. thx again ! One last question - Want to isolate IOT devices on guest network so they do not see/comm with each other. turned on AP Isolation...

    Can I Isolate IOT devices on a guest network but...?

    Follow up to Emerald: saw your post here to the question on how to best isolate IOT devices, where you said if they don’t need access to the LAN, then have them sign into a 2.4Ghz guest network with AP Isolation turned on. that is exactly what I want to do - so they cannot see/talk to each...

    Understood on the cross post. And yeah, completely new SSIDs across the board and PWs too. Real odd situation

    Thanks LD&D for prompt response. My SSIDs are 9-12 long. Would that make a huge difference ? All PWs are 12 long alphanumeric only. I also noticed another posting where someone was having identical issue with 5.1 radio. I posted there as well. Not sure whether here or there best place...

    RT-AC5300 Wireless Issues

    @Svenskmat - I have EXACTLY the same issue. Brand new router (RT-AC5300), first flash with 17, Factory reset, M&M config, etc. And my 5.1 radio either doesn’t show the SSIDs or it shows them but won’t take the PWs for them. My SSIDs are like 10-11 characters long, but they were that long...

    @LD&D - I got The new router, did new flash, Full reset, full M&M, etc. And all is working great however my 5.1 SSIDs (regular and guest) either don’t transmit or don’t accept the PW when entered (have seen both behavior after reboot via GUI or pulling plug). have played with different...

    Thx LLD. Another related question for you - I am buying a second RT-AC5300 and just noticed that ASUS came out with new FW a few weeks ago. Should I update the unit with ASUSs latest FW before flashing with Merlin ? Or just go straight to Merlin regardless of which version of ASUS FW the...

    Was thinking about upgrading to the GT-AC5300, but saw in some older threads that Merlin cannot run on it. Still true ?
