    AX88U and XT8 mesh stays on 2.4ghz : (

    thank you for the thank you for the kind and detailed response I should be fine with RT-AX88U not functioning for clients on 5Ghz, it is okay in my scenerio. the two routers are close enough that devices which require 5Ghz can successfully connect to XT8 without any noticable performance loss...

    AX88U and XT8 mesh stays on 2.4ghz : (

    what are the correct settings though? I didn't set anything special on the AX88u, I had it reset to factory settings before trying it as main router really interested to know what "incorrect settings" means in that context. I never really set anything, just added a new mesh node to the network...

    AX88U and XT8 mesh stays on 2.4ghz : (

    I solved the problem. turns out that since XT8 is TriBand and AX88U is Dual Band, you need to have the XT8 as the main router of the mesh network. this way, the XT8 allocates 5GHz-2 as the backhaul wireless connection. otherwise if AX88U is the main router it will use 2.4Ghz as wireless backhaul..

    Using 160Mhz with RT-AX88U

    I see. so radar means simply other WiFi network is being used on that channel? or does it refer to other non-wifi equipment? also - is there a way to force 160Mhz? because I don't see any wifi networks on channel 52 in my area

    Using 160Mhz with RT-AX88U

    Hey, I recently bought AX88U and I am trying to maximize the bandwidth I can get of it. for some reason, I am not able to create a 160Mhz connection, only up to 80Mhz. I explicitly set the Channel Bandwidth to 160Mhz and changed the Control Channel accordingly (I tried 36 and 40) but still, I...
