    Guest Network Pro bug? Device config'd for main network connects to GNP on its own.

    For background, I am running three AX86U Pro mesh in AP mode, behind a dedicated firewall/router. 3006.102.4 Merlin. I have my dedicated firewall/router and managed switches figured for the same VLAN ID on the Asus. DHCP is served up by the firewall/router. The GNP works fine. As soon as I...

    Guest network pro while in AP mode and VLAN setup?

    I am running three AX86U Pro mesh in AP mode, behind a dedicated firewall/router. 3006.102.4 Merlin. Once I added a guest network pro profile, I noticed that a VLAN ID was created but no DHCP or subnet configuration ("same subnet" turned off because I want to isolate). Naturally, the clients...

    AiMesh 5Ghz set to WPA3/WPA2, only one node advertising WPA3/2, rest WPA2 only.

    I have a trio of AX86U Pros set as mesh APs with the lastest Merlin. The 5Ghz is set to support WPA3/WPA2. Using Network Analyzer (and confirm by other apps) on my Android, I see that only one of the nodes (not the main node) is advertising as WPA3/WP2. The main node and the other remote node...

    Moen U Shower will not connect to AX86U Pro but was fine with AC86U

    I don't disagree. I used to think, operate, and advise people the same way you do. At some point, I gave up. I allowed myself being the product and business intelligence because I wanted --enjoyed the conveniences and fun factors. I like all the integration, automation, and controls...

    Moen U Shower will not connect to AX86U Pro but was fine with AC86U

    Lol. I can't think of the use case, yet, but I want my toilet to be Wi-Fi enabled. Is that weird? ;-D The Moen U-Shower is very cool if you are willing to deal with the buggy Wi-Fi. Mine has four outlets. Two rain showers + body sprays. Each channel will maintain the water temp you set...

    Moen U Shower will not connect to AX86U Pro but was fine with AC86U

    Confirmed. WPA3/WPA2 was the problem. Set it to WPA2-only and problem solved.

    Moen U Shower will not connect to AX86U Pro but was fine with AC86U

    Thanks for all the input. Update: It looks like setting the authentication method to WPA2 instead of WPA2/WPA3 worked. I will do more testing tomorrow and report back. I want see if flipping back to WPA2/WPA3 will cause it to fail again. I am running Merlin's latest. I've noticed that...

    Moen U Shower will not connect to AX86U Pro but was fine with AC86U

    Thanks. I will try these suggestions. For a device that is 2.4Ghz only, how would Smart Connect affect the connection? I presume the client would only "see" the 2.4Ghz band? Perfect use case! I will immediately buy one. I just hope it supports 5Ghz MIMO because I'm sure it needs...

    Moen U Shower will not connect to AX86U Pro but was fine with AC86U

    Lol. Why would anyone want a Wi-Fi enabled toothbrush! ;-)

    Moen U Shower will not connect to AX86U Pro but was fine with AC86U

    The U Shower has buggy WiFi. It's 2.4Ghz-n, but very picky about the type of AP it's willing to connect. With my AC86U, it had no problems connecting. With AX86U Pro, it will not connect. I've replicated the settings between the AC and AX. Roaming assistant, airtime fairness, MIMO, OFDMA...

    smart connect and roaming assist

    I wonder why Asus defaults both RA and SC to "on".

    smart connect and roaming assist

    This is an old thread but a good thread. Curiously, if roaming assistant was turned on, if a client is at an edge location and the signal weakens beyond the roaming assistant's threshold, and there is no other closer node, will the client get disconnect? Then, presumably the client will...

    Web UI loading delay in 1 out of 3 AX86U Pro

    @OzarkEdge provided me with a link to check the cpu temp: http://www.asusrouter.com/ajax_coretmp.asp (thank you OE!) A couple questions: 1) One of the "good" AX86U Pro is showing current CPU temp of 55-56 degrees. The replacement is showing 63-66 degrees. This is with the same firmware...

    Web UI loading delay in 1 out of 3 AX86U Pro

    I bought 3 AX86U Pros to see how they might work out. One, out of the box has a weird lag when loading the web UI. All have the same latest firmware, but the one seems to work fine except for delays when loading the UI on login, each and every time. It also seems to load firmware slower. CPU...

    Radio engineers: Why doesn't the AX88U Pro's antenna array outperform the AX86U Pro's?

    Quality control, manufacturing, variations in component, and/or tolerance issues? If ASUS is delivering the same models that has vastly different performance from one another, I guess it's a crapshoot what the consumer gets out of the box? Edit: OT for this thread but related to the post--I...
