Thanks for the responses, folks! Much appreciated :) The firewall lowers it to 2.5gbs, but deals with that easily (including IDS/IPS). So there shouldn't be any worry on that end. Yeah, it was purchased already, and the time to send it back ended... Two questions though: How is the...

Hey there! I am currently restructuring my network (see attached layout) and would greatly appreciate your thoughts :) A few explanations to the network diagram before I ask all of my questions: The ISP will replace the 1G fiber with 10G this year, so I marked it both. Then, the traffic goes...

Hi again! One issue I have seen with my new BE98 are ping spikes in the guest wifi. The band is 2,4/5ghz and with ping spikes I am mostly referring to roughly every 20th ping being >300ms. This is honestly pretty painful, especially when video calling. Has anyone seen that before or could...

Didn't change anything for me, unfortunately, but thanks for posting your config @jzchen ! I guess we will need to wait until ASUS fixes this big in the firmware.

Exact same here. It's also annoying to get a pre-canned response that's a crappy keyword match. But "good" to see that I am not alone...

Hi all! I have a really weird problem with my new GT-BE98 router: After reboot, it sometimes doesn't let me connect to any wifi (2.4 and none of the 5ghz) but only the guest ssid, meaning, my client tells me that the password is wrong. Obviously, I have the password saved clientside and try to...

Awesome, thanks folks! I went with the Tp-Link Omada :)

Ahhh, sorry! Didn't realize I can take any Mikrotik and/or TP Link Pro model! Thought some of them wouldn't support the VLAN tagging or just would work less well together.

Thanks everyone for your responses! Very much appreciated! That's really interesting! If you could choose brands / models for my setup, what would you choose? It seems I need to replace the main wifi router anyway. So I can go ahead and replace the XT8's as well. Any recommendations? :)...

This is my currently planned setup: Where I have a switch that manages the VLANs, and after that, my main ASUS wifi router (RT-AC5300) and two ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) wifi extenders. Now, I want to differentiate by SSID which VLAN the devices should reside in. For example, the guest wifi devices...

The log of the router is also spammed... Btw, please let me know, if I can provide any more information that could help!

Hey all, yesterday I upgraded (nuclear reset and M&M config) my AC5300 to 386.2_2, but since the upgrade the 2.4Ghz radio works for some time and then just stops working. This means, first I have an extremely high ping to 8.8.8.8. When I switch to the 5Ghz radio (which works fine), I cannot...

Haha, right. It's obvious after you tell me :D So I went through the nuclear reset and the M&M list of settings- the only one I didn't do is the "new SSID" names, but I disabled UPnP from the Internet. Everything else I did as stated. Now I am going to set up the 5GHz bands and the guest...

What the...thanks Apple :D But seriously, thanks SheikhSheikha! Wasn't aware of that :)

Thanks L&LD and SheikhSheikha! I will go through that in the evening after work, since I am currently working over a tethered hotspot of my mobile phone. Since flashing the router (I did a firmware reset before flashing) with Merlin, all of my devices get constantly dropped of the wifi, so...
