5ghz

Hello All you merlin Wizzards, I just recently got a RT-as5300 and love it It has a much more consistant VPN connection and a very fast reboot (in my opinion) Somthing I have been trying to figure out is why in the clients list I see no clients connected to the 5ghz networks. When I looked...

Hi, I've just bought and set up my ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 and I'm experiencing a strange issue, or at least I think I am. I have the router and a single AIMesh node. The two are placed at opposite ends of the house. The issue I'm facing is that devices that are connecting to the main router are all...

Hello everyone, I'm encountering an issue with my ASUS RT-AC5300 (AiMesh Router) that has me scratching my head and I'm hoping someone here can offer some guidance or suggestions. I'm based in Pakistan. While most of my devices, including my iPhone, can easily connect to the 5GHz band without...

In the Wireless tab, under General, 5GHz has the option to select [N + AC( + AX)] as the Wireless Mode. In the information box, it informs you that this option “Maximizes performance” at the cost of 802.11a. My question is this: Does this option actually do anything in terms of increasing the...

I have AiMesh configuration with AX88U (Main Router) -> AX58U (Node - Connected via Ethernet Backhaul). Both Router/Node is updated to latest Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_23748 and all "Settings" are default to Factory recomended. Only, when 160Mhz client is connected to AX88U(Main), I am...

RT-AX88U, 388.4 Since I installed Merlin 1.5yr ago, I randomly/rarely (6-7x) get this issue: local network simply stops being accessible from a 5GHz connected device, while internet keeps working. Also, this issue never affects 2.4GHz connected devices. Nothing found in the logs. Router reboot...

WiFi Radar doesn't show 5Ghz signal and works on 2.4Ghz, I see there are some related topics, but it doesn't solve the problem. Does WiFi Radar not work on most models, or is it limited to the AX86U? Resetting the router had no effect.

I just noticed that on the newest 386.7_2 firmware, if I set 160MHz on the 5GHz band, it will initially use 160MHz but later reduce to 80MHz (I'm seeing this using WiFi Explorer on macOS). I know 160MHz is 99% unnecessary, I just want to know if this is the intended behavior with this new...

I just upgraded to Merlin 386.7 and found that my Windows 10 Pro desktop is not seeing the 5GHz SSID/band even after a hard reset on both devices. I cannot recall if it was working just before (thought I know that it was working recently - like within the last few months) since I usually leave...

I have some problems with my 2.4GHz and 5Ghz bands. It seems that the smart connect rules do not help at all the clients roaming between the 2.4GHz and 5Ghz bands. I have one main router and two aiMesh nodes. The mesh nodes have the standard ASUS firmware, whereas the main router as the merlin...

I have AX56U with latest merlin firmware 386.4. The 5Ghz connection was dropped and it was being set to Open System (WPA2 before). Checked the log and I do see few lines of "Deauthenticated because sending station is leaving (or has left) IBSS or ESS (3)" Not sure if this is relevant but it is...

Hi all, I have Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 on RT-AC86U. I changed my WIFI settings with: enable smart connect OFF Band 5Ghz Hide SSID Yes Wireless mode N/AC mixed however, on my phone (Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro, Android 11) I am still connected with 2.4GHz. On W10 laptop I got 5Ghz. Am I missing something...

Hello, I'm using Asuswrt-Merlin fw: 386.2 for RT-AX88U and tried to turn off Wi-Fi using built in button. But after this router done a full reboot and I was not be able to turn it back on. LED for WiFi on the router was turned ON only for 2,4ghz - but network was not avaliable/visible for...

Dear Friends, I have an odd problem all of a sudden. Earlier most of my devices, most of which are new, were connecting to the 5GHz band by default. Suddenly, and I can't pinpoint what exactly caused this, but now many of them prefer to connect to the 2.4GHz band. Don't know why. After that I...

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well. I have a question, where I can't find the exact same problem as myself on the forum. I recently bought a RT-AX86U which was marvelous. But the past weekend, my girlfriend forgot to turn off the YouTube app on a Xiaomi TV Box, and YouTube (With...

Hi all, For the last few months, I've been having a strange issue with my AC88U which up to then had been performing with no issues at all for about 3 years. Some devices, not all, cannot seem to connect to the router on the 5Ghz band anymore. I normally have it on smart connect and these...

I've just picked up a pair of XT8s and have updated them to the latest firmware (3.0.0.4.386_25790). I was surprised to find that my devices were using the 2.4GHz band as the backhaul - with a 1/3 bar connection. I rebooted and they were once again connected with a 3/3 bar connection on the...

Hi all, I'm running a DSL-AC750 modem router. I always had some "issues" with WiFi and now I just realized that with 2,4Ghz wifi I can reach a transfer rate of 2,4MB/s between router and my smartphone. With 5Ghz wifi, transfer rate drop to 250KB/s with 100% wifi signal strength. Any idea why...

So I have recently purchased an RT-AC86U to replace my ageing RT-AC68U as I now have 30+ devices connected to my network and the 68U was starting to show its age a little bit (sometimes devices were sluggish, and a couple if times it locked up completely requiring a full power off and on) The...

Several times per day my AC-58U refuses to work on the 5GHz band. Looking at the system log I can see the following repeating 50-100 times: Jul 14 12:59:02 kernel: Switching to Tx Mode-1 Threshold 0 Jul 14 12:59:10 kernel: Switching to Tx Mode-1 Threshold 280 Jul 14 12:59:14 kernel: Switching to...
