I put my experience here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-rt-be92u-firmware-version-3-0-0-6-102_39061.97028/post-990344 The executive summary is that ASUS seems to have enabled STP on the WAN port with no way to turn it off. My ISP shuts off my port when they see that. This was only...

This one was a disaster for me and is the straw that broke the camel's back. I am done with ASUS. After installing this update, my wired ports stopped working. Specifically, systems connected to the wired ports could still ping the local network if I statically provisioned their IP address. But...

As I asked in my original post, why is this obvious? Asus expended engineering effort to add this restriction, for no technical reason, just to waste users' time? Anyway I got my solution. Thanks to everyone else for the helpful replies.

As I said in my original post, I want one SSID that is 2.4GHz only (for older clients) and another SSID that is 2.4GHz + 5GHz + 6GHz with Smart Connect. The current Web interface does not allow me to do this. Unless I create a guest network, apparently.

I tried that, but some older clients are having trouble connecting to the multi-band "Smart Connect" network. They seem fine with an SSID that is 2.4GHz only.

I might try that. Can I configure the guest SSID so that it is on the same subnet as the main SSID and without any isolation? (I am trying to cater to both modern and legacy devices that might want to talk to each other. I am aware of the security implications.)

Had a lot of trouble. Factory reset plus no MLO Fronthaul seems to have done the trick; thanks! I do have a quick, possibly stupid, question. I have two SSIDs configured. "Network A" uses 2.4GHz and "Network B" uses 5GHz and 6GHz with Smart Connect / Band Steering. If I go to the Network tab...
