I’m in Singapore. So I have the non pro 98 that’s sold by asus here. I did have issues with the first unit I bought but asus did a 1 for 1 replacement and it’s been fine since.

Hope you have a great time! Those places do look very lonely thou! :p Lovely pics!

Sorry for your troubles. Curious thou, what trick did you do to get out of that wifi "auto" settings?

Having a strange issue with my VPN, have setup a wireguard server on the router so my mobile devices can connect back to the router when I'm out and about and I can access the local devices and surf the net using the router Adblock etc. After this update, am unable to surf the net anymore on my...

New beta released a few days ago. Date: May 24, 2025 Release: 3006.102.4_1-gnuton1 Just flashed, seems fine.

Thanks for confirming. Narrows it down for sure. :)

So spoke to asus. Besides the issues described here, I also shared other issues I have been facing and steps taken to troubleshoot etc. They also suspect a hardware fault. Credit to asus, they immediately offered a one to one exchange. So got that done. New unit plugged in. Been running...

So I reinstalled the stock latest firmware; GT-BE98 : 3.0.0.6.102_36878-g4285a33_928-gb0408_BB0B.... and what a shirt show... All the issues is described earlier persist. "wireless- professional- mode" options are missing. "General- smart connect" is missing. All this despite doing hard resets...

Was thinking the exact same thing, will help narrow down if it's specific to Gnuton's fork or just the 98 being a.... something. Will try it tomorrow, wife is back home and I'd rather have a working dodgy network now then to get chewed out by her if the interwebs is down.

Another interesting thing I've noticed since resetting the router; CPU core 4 is pegged to 100%... I'm gonna have a beer now... and might just douse the router with it.

So I've been trying to troubleshoot. The wireless modes do not work. But something interesting I've found; If I try disabling a radio, the GUI shows "changing setting" but the change DOES NOT take effect; the radio remains on. Its almost as if the "professional tab" does not affect any changes...

So did a reset and things seemed ok. Did a reboot and problem reappeared (can't change wireless mode and smart connect option is missing). Did another reset, reinstall the firmware, reset again. Things look normal. Reboot and problem happens again. Something is seriously weird here.

Yup, did a hard factory reset and set it up fresh, no backup CFG file used. I also did note the change log and instructions. So seems like this is not expected behavior and something seems to have gone wonky somewhere. Been having some strange issues with all my apple devices recentlytoo, thou...

Checked. Nothing related to "wireless mode" or "smart connect" for that matter.

Nope. I do not even have the option.
