    BE98 pro or BE96U

    Hope I don't jinx myself by saying this...my BE96Us are working great!! I purchased at BestBuy with the 15% discount with a trade-in (old NT66 model) so cost was around $410. As I was setting up and testing, the router, I was so impressed, I traded-in an AC3100 for a second BE96U at $410. I'm...

    BE96U + BE7200

    I've been using a primary router + 2 other routers as access points. These have been a combination of various series. I'm contemplating replacing them all with recent generation devices - specifically the BE96U + two BE7200. My goals are: 1) Implement Guest network Pro configuration 2) Use...

    Quick Network/Guest question

    So the fundamental answer to why a 2.4 GHz device connected to router B shows up on both the router B 2.4 GHz client list and the router A 2.4 GHz client list is because the basic network map function is flaky (note - I understand why it might show as wired on router A but, again, it is...

    Quick Network/Guest question

    I understand that all of the IoT devices are on the main network that covers all three routers. My question is should the respective 2.4 GHz client list only show devices connected to that router/radio? Consider Router A - 2.4 GHz SSID Net1 Router B - 2.4 GHz SSID Net2 Router C - 2.4 GHz SSID...

    Quick Network/Guest question

    I wound up adding the N66U as a third router for 2.4 GHz only network to support IoT devices. So I now have 3 2.4 GHz networks: Net1 (primary router AX88U Pro) Net2 (Access Point AC3100) Net3 (Access Point N66U) Moving the IoT devices to a different network is somewhat of a PITA in that most...

    Quick Network/Guest question

    Ok, I have managed to get 36 devices connected to a single 2.4 GHz network - not sure about issues I was having earlier with a 'cannot connect' message.. Most of my IoT devices are light/dimmer switches and on/off plugs so there shouldn't be a bandwidth issue, however, I'm leaning to reducing...

    Quick Network/Guest question

    Actually - a reply from you in a January 2022 SNB thread was one of the few references to a numeric limit: "In theory up to 32 devices per radio is what home routers support, if it makes you feel better. :) In practice - it depends on how many and how active the users are. A single AX client...

    Quick Network/Guest question

    I came to that assumption after numerous searches - I could not find a limit in the documentation I had available. When I first installed the AX88U Pro, I tried to make a more coherent network assignment based on proximity to router or access point. In doing so, I wound up having numerous...

    Quick Network/Guest question

    I'm running up against the 32 device limit per radio (2.4 GHz) on my AX88U Pro - this is primarily due to smart home devices (minimal bandwidth switches, etc). My question is do the guest and regular 2.4 GHz share a total of 32 devices or can the guest and regular networks each have their own...

    RT-AX88U losing WIFI

    Actually, I have accumulated a variety of smart home devices…too many to list. I’m not sure there is a 2.4 ghz problem at this point - numerous symptoms as well as hitting the limit of 2.4 ghz devices - network map shows 33 - and if I try to connect my phone, I get ‘can’t connect’ error. The...

    RT-AX88U losing WIFI

    I pointed this out only regarding the reply suggesting the WiFi dropping was related to Galaxy phones. My issue is with 2.4 GHz IoT devices losing connection. Another issue I saw was the 2.5 G LAN port would drop to 1 GHz indicated on Network Map. This port is connected to a 2.5 G switch - I...

    RT-AX88U losing WIFI

    FWIW - I am experiencing identical issues on a newly installed AX88U Pro - seeing these drops primarily with 2.4 GHz smart devices. Only iPhones in the house. The AX88U Pro replaces an AC88U that had been working flawlessly for 5 years - with new ISP, I wanted to get full bandwidth for phones...

    kernel: TCP: Possible SYN flooding

    OK, that command worked - I can see 4 different IP addresses associated with the port number 38071 which is flagged with the flooding message. I was unplugging chunks of my network to see what impacted the messages. I have an AC3100 I'm using as an access point (nothing wired into it) and...
