Asus BQ16 general questions

msilva

New Around Here
Hello,

I have a couple of Asus questions I could not find in the documentation nor the forum. If someone has any answer for this I would really appreciate it.

I'm having tons of disconnects in the Guest SSIDs of the BQ16, have an ongoing support case with Asus, hopefully it will get solved soon (same issues as described by this reviewer https://lesterchan.net/blog/2024/11/11/asus-zenwifi-bq16-mesh-router-review/)

1 - Why do only some of the SSIDs have the option of being enabled/disabled on AiMesh nodes? I'm referring to the AiMesh submenu inside the Network - SSID menu

I have 3 SSIDs, the main one does not have the AiMesh option, the main Guest has the SSID option and the IoT also does not have it. It would be super useful if we could enable/disable SSID propagation on a per AiMesh node.

2 - When the mode is AP and you configure a Guest SSID with isolated network, the clients in this network do not receive any DHCP address. I did this by choosing the Use same subnet as main network option disabled.

I'm assuming this is because the isolated is implemented using a different VLAN and thus requires a separate DHCP server and routing to the Internet? It would be super useful if Asus handled this internally instead of having to setup all this for a Guest network (like other manufacturers do). Is there any simpler way to enable isolated Guest SSIDs?

3 - Is there any way to setup different TX power for different nodes? It seems that the Tx power adjustment configuration for the main node in Wireless - Professional menu is propagated automatically to all nodes..

Thanks!
