Gotcha

Quite often our Thinkpad T16 laptops (equipped with BE201 wifi card) connect at the full 5.7 Gbps link rate to each AP, so clearly they're using the 320Mhz channel bandwidth on the 6ghz band. The RE655BE supports up to 5.764 Gbps link rate on the 6ghz band.

Thanks everyone. After scanning for other wifi networks using inSSIDer, i couldn't find any 6ghz networks from other properties. But on each of the 4 APs, i'm now using a unique 6ghz PSC channel - 5,37,69,85 instead of ch 69 on all 4.

Hi, In my home, i have wifi 7 access points in every room (TP Link RE655BE) and where possible, I try to connect every wifi 6E/7 client to the 6ghz band on the AP since usually there is clear line of sight to each AP. On all RE655BE units i have selected 69 (PSC) channel on the 6ghz band and no...

Managed to do this. In the RP-AX58 web gui I changed the following setting: Advanced Settings >> Administration >> System >> WPS Button Behavior >> Turn LED on/off then hold the WPS button on the extender for a few seconds until the LED turns off.

Hi, I'm using my RP-AX58 in AP mode, can i still turn off the LEDs? I cannot seem to find any option....

After tonnes of emails to & from Asus support they have come to the following conclusion: Does that make sense?

I think it could well be a firmware bug on the RP-AX58 as its a relatively new release. I've reported the issue to Asus via the GUI of the node, Administration>Feedback and yet to receive a reply.

Thanks guys. I have disabled 'ethernet backhaul' setting in AiMesh settings but still can't get more than 200 Mbps from each extender. I wonder if the extenders channel bandwidth is set to 20/40 Mhz (instead of also including 80/160 Mhz)? But I believe the wifi settings of the extender can't be...

Hi, I have an Asus XT12 which I'm using as the main router and 3 plug-in 'range extender' units, RP-AX58 which are connected via ethernet to the XT12. Each RP-AX58 is plugged in one of the 3 bedrooms as wifi coverage from the main router is extremely poor because of thick walls. My internet...

It seems there's a driver v22.45.11 for AX210 card floating around which enables wifi 6E on Windows 10. Will try this later on to see if it also works for AX211 on Win 10 https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/ax210-window-10-21h2-not-showing-6GHz-networks/m-p/1341116#M39195

Thanks guys. 1. I'm using 4 unique SSIDs (1x2.4ghz, 2x5ghz & 1 x6ghz) on the router and I would prefer to keep it that way. Smart connect is off 2. On my Thinkpads I've always used Lenovo's Vantage software to update firmware as it updates everything in a few clicks, instead of having to spend...

Hi I got my Thinkpad T16 laptop delivered today (w/ Intel wifi 6E AX211 160mhz card installed) but unfortunately its not picking up the wifi 6E network on my TP Link AXE300 router. Intel wifi driver is up to date on the T16, though i haven't updated Windoze (Win 10 Pro x64) as i plan to replace...

Hi Sorry for the late response. Yes my AXE300/16000 router is still working fine, no issues. Don't have any wifi 6E clients, still waiting for my Thinkpad T16 laptop to be delivered and then I can test wifi6E speeds. I have a TP Link plugin range extender RE700X which works very well with the...

An update: its fixed! Plugged the ONT into the 10G combined WAN port coloured blue (previously I think i only tried the 2.5G and 10G standalone WAN ports) and bingo the upload is now at around 120 Mbps. Had to cancel the Teamviewer session :)
