    New ASUS RT-AX95Q/AX6600 AiMesh kit

    Yep, my bad AC3100 (the "gamer version" RT-AC88U). 1700 sq feet, but upstairs & downstairs, lots of connected devices like Rachio & Sonos, interference, etc. The actual Wi-Fi was pretty good, but no WiFi Calling is a dealbreaker as we live in a deadzone.

    New ASUS RT-AX95Q/AX6600 AiMesh kit

    I got 2 Asus AC3100 routers and they were the worst for my WiFi Calling & dropped calls constantly when moving between Access Points. Their AIMesh was terrible and buggy. I had to remove them entirely and go back to my multiple AirPort Extremes after 6 months of trying everything to make them...

    ASUS aiMesh dropping WiFi Calling during switch

    How would I disable NAT Acceleration?

    ASUS aiMesh dropping WiFi Calling during switch

    I replaced them because Apple has decided to stop making routers and I assumed since Apple hasn't updated their routers recently that the latest and greatest had solved all the world's problems. I guess not... Apple "just worked". Asus is a nightmare. Although I do like the additional...

    ASUS aiMesh dropping WiFi Calling during switch

    I guess I assumed it was the same as AP mode (albeit optional wireless/wired backhaul), but I hope you're right. I'll be reworking my network this weekend. I want seamless handoff, I had it with my Apple routers, I know it's possible with Asus.

    ASUS aiMesh dropping WiFi Calling during switch

    Damn... Still working great for me, but my wife has lost WiFi Calling... :( Next test I will run is resetting everything, installing @RMerlin's firmware and finally setting up the network again using the normal AP method, instead of using aiMesh. I will update here again when it's up and...

    ASUS aiMesh dropping WiFi Calling during switch

    Getting stable results (both my wife and I still have AT&T WiFi in many parts of the house using both AP) by enabling QoS. I set VoIP as the priority, but maybe this is less important, the average speeds I'm getting are 350gbps. This might all change in 12 - 24 hours, so knock on wood...

    ASUS aiMesh dropping WiFi Calling during switch

    Yep, I'm in the same boat, I think I'm going to disable aiMesh and set my network up as individual access points. I thought it was the 2.4Ghz channel or SmartConnect so I set that on another SSID - no dice. It seems to work as soon as I change something in professional settings, but then after...

    ASUS aiMesh dropping WiFi Calling during switch

    Disabling Airtime Fairness did something - all of a sudden my iPhone is now connected to AT&T WiFi. What is the downside of disabling this?

    ASUS aiMesh dropping WiFi Calling during switch

    Probably not the channel. I have no clue what's up... It has reverted to only connecting to AT&T WiFi when it's connected to the node downstairs, and upstairs even though I have excellent WiFi and only one bar Cellular, it won't connect to AT&T WiFi... :(

    ASUS aiMesh dropping WiFi Calling during switch

    Ok, this is ridiculous... SmartConnect decided to change me back to channel 153 and now I'm getting disconnects and my iPhone isn't connecting WiFi Calling. Before changing the channel can't this feature scan surrounding networks to make sure it assigns a channel not being used??? Am I the...

    ASUS aiMesh dropping WiFi Calling during switch

    UPDATE: I wanted SmartConnect back since it's supposed to be easy, so to get it working I tweaked the steering and trigger conditions to eliminate any capable device from using 2.4Ghz...

    ASUS aiMesh dropping WiFi Calling during switch

    I believe I have fixed it, in case someone else has this issue. It's related to Smart Connect auto-setting the Control Channel, it turns out 3 of my neighbor's wifi were on the same channel. In addition, the location of both of my access points were close enough that they were competing with...

    ASUS aiMesh dropping WiFi Calling during switch

    I'm brand new to home networking but realized I should upgrade my system when I learned Apple would discontinue their routers. I replaced 2 Airport Extremes with 2 ASUS RT-AC88U and basically dropped them inline connected with ethernet and switches where the Airports were: [Modem] -->...
