... sigh, all is good, the suggestions to check my cabling were appropriate - after a number of re-pluggings and re-routings, suddenly the LED on the mobo RJ45 went from ORANGE to GREEN - and, of course, the display on the BE88U's Network Map now reflects the expected reality. Sorry for the...

Thanks for keeping the suggestions coming... but I should have mentioned when I said "Auto" on the speed setting for the NIC control on the Windows machine, that I had in fact tried explicitly setting 10Gb there - and it had the effect of disabling the NIC fairly quickly. :confused: The reason...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I have now been through every single screen in the Merlin version of the ASUS control software - twice, and I am not seeing it. The printed "Quick Start" pamphlet that comes with the BE88U seems quite clear that choosing your initial setup with the WAN...

... and no, I don't think my specific issue has been discussed here already (but I may have missed it). ;) I just set this up yesterday, and used the 2.5Gb "WAN/LAN" to connect my cable modem - all is good, and the WAN download speed may or may not be up from my trusty AX88U of 6 years. BUT, I...

Just did a "dirty" upgrade from BETA 1 to BETA 3, works fine. :) Anecdotally, what pushed me to grabbing this was that ONE of my Amazon Echo Dots was acting up since I had installed BETA 1, complaining (as she said) of "connection problems" - and these issues were resistant to a full factory...

Have had my venerable (4.5 years) 88U running the new BETA for a few hours... my usual dirty boot. Was coming here to inquire about download speeds in QoS Speedtest (about 200-250 Mbps *lower* than previously), and noticed a comment early in this thread about QoS and speed... since I had only...

Just to tie this one off, I switched to the final alpha yesterday - rather than reverting back to 386.5_2 - and this seemed to address both the "dropping WiFi connection to my Pixel 5" as well as the memory usage issue. And, since the first beta for 386.8 supported my 88U (which is an...

I have also followed the path 386.7_2 to 386.8_alpha1-ge365a66780 to 386.8_beta1 - on my 88U, and all is looking good. I had been preparing a report on using the alpha for 24 hours, but saw the beta with my name practically on it (88U and all), so went ahead with the beta - ALL were "dirty"...

All right, my bad - I searched using the keyword "drop" and didn't see the existing thread Intermittent loss of Wi-Fi since upgrading to 386.7 - so I added this unneeded one. OTOH, the problem is still a real one, and I expect I will revert all the way back to 386.5_2 if things don't get...

Just for completeness, I had tried 386.4 on my AX88U, and had the problems with a number of my Alexa-controlled devices (TP-Link WiFi light bulbs), so I reverted back to 386.3_2. Did a so-called "dirty" upgrade to 386.5 BETA 1 two days ago, and everything is now working beautifully (yes, I know...

Yup, similar deal for me also: with 386.4 on my AX-88U, my TP-Link WiFi light bulbs (2.4 GHz) are fairly "flake" - good ol' Alexa keeps losing connectivity to various of these puppies. Which is annoying, as this means lights on a different floor and at the other end of my house stay on when I...

Well, I suppose I should chime in - as one of the complainers ;) - that yes, BETA3 has resolved my IPv6 issues (as in, I have addresses assigned and Windows 11 notices them and uses them)... thanks! :) However, it isn't clear if this is related to this BETA series or not, but I am getting about...

As it happens, yes, I have enabled the guest network(s) - I have used what I assume is standard practice and have both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz using the same SSID. I had already read your "greater detail" previous post, and while it certainly sounds convincing, I must admit I am not qualified to...

My BETA1 was broken for IPv6 on my AX88U - like I said in my report for BETA1, I have everything "vanilla", don't do any DDNS,or anything else "exotic"... Even though the BETA2 changelog notes indicated no changes for IPv6 itself, I thought I would try - and, nope, IPv6 is still completely...

Sane and sensible advice for sure, but... I will wait and see - my network is not exactly crippled by this, and I really think there are already or will be others popping up with the same mystery. ;) And yes, I do assume that reverting would bring all that IPv6 goodness back. EDIT: all right...
