And guess what, guest network WAN block still not working. Asus getting worse by the day. For this price and this router capabilities it's as if they don't give a flying f* anymore about customer feedback. How sad.

ps: above link isn't updated with newest firmware for me , this one is :

ROG Rapture GT-BE98 | Gaming networking｜ROG - Republic of Gamers｜ROG België

GT-BE98 Quad-band WiFi 7 (802.11be) Gaming Router, ondersteuning nieuwe 320MHz-bandbreedte en 4096-QAM, twee 10G-poorten, back-up WAN, Triple-level Game Acceleration, Mobile Game Mode, AURA RGB, AiMesh-ondersteuning, abonnementsloze netwerkbeveiliging en uitgebreide VPN-functies

rog.asus.com

In case anyone else has the problem. The router itself didn't mention an update at all.

QoS don’t work

Found another bug, android phone no longer connects to the AIMESH. It connects fine to the base router but not on the "ethernet connected" AIMESH. Did a full reset to factory, reinstalled all, reconnected / re-setup AIMESH but no dice. Also you used to be able to add AIMESH if it was connected with an ethernet cable disregarding WEAK WiFi signal with main router. No longer possible. To add the AIMESH router to you system again you need to bring it closer to your main, set it up with WIFI, then after setup put it back on the old spot with ethernet cable and all working again. Well besides some wifi clients connecting problems. These are 2x GT-B98. Starting to think something is wrong with one or both of them. Also tried with deleting and reconnecting wifi network on android phone (motorola edge 30 fusion) and reset wifi/BT. No dice neither. And weird it connects fine on the main router but not on the aimesh ?! With the AImesh the same wifi netword SSID will say "configuration error" when trying to obtain IP address. All the iphone's connect perfectly on both. Only option is going back to older firmware? <sigh>

Nog een bug gevonden: een Android-telefoon maakt geen verbinding meer met de AIMESH. Hij maakt wel verbinding met de basisrouter, maar niet met de "ethernet connected" AIMESH. Ik heb een volledige fabrieksreset uitgevoerd, alles opnieuw geïnstalleerd, de AIMESH opnieuw aangesloten/geïnstalleerd, maar zonder resultaat. Je kon AIMESH ook toevoegen als hij verbonden was met een ethernetkabel, ongeacht het zwakke wifi-signaal met de hoofdrouter. Nu niet meer mogelijk. Om de AIMESH-router weer aan je systeem toe te voegen, moet je hem dichter bij je hoofdrouter plaatsen, hem instellen met wifi en hem na de installatie weer op de oude plek zetten met een ethernetkabel en alles werkt weer. Nou ja, afgezien van wat verbindingsproblemen met wifi-clients. Dit zijn twee GT-B98's. Ik begin te denken dat er iets mis is met een of beide. Ik heb ook geprobeerd het wifi-netwerk op mijn Android-telefoon (Motorola Edge 30 Fusion) te verwijderen en opnieuw te verbinden en wifi/BT te resetten. Ook zonder resultaat. En vreemd genoeg maakt hij wel verbinding met de hoofdrouter, maar niet met de Aimesh?! Met AImesh geeft dezelfde wifi-netwerk-SSID "configuratiefout" aan bij het verkrijgen van een IP-adres. Alle iPhones maken perfect verbinding op beide apparaten. De enige optie is teruggaan naar oudere firmware? <zucht>

ik heb wifi 7 i mesh 2 stuks... werkt geweldig
Je moet alles wel goed instellen...en gelooof mij maar, er zit zoveel in deze modem dat het gewoon duurt zelfs alles prima draait
maar moet je er wel verstand van hebben en merk op uit je verhaal dat je maar een kwart weet wat je doet

And how is that helping ?

Maybe you should read before you post. The GUEST network WLAN not being able to BLOCK is a BUG, has nothing to do with settings.

The Android phone connecting perfectly fine on the main one, but refuses to connect to the AIMESH, is a BUG, not a SETTING.

So if you have a "working" solution, I would be HAPPY to hear about it.

Kind regards

4 months and this is all that's in this firmware update for a premium router???? Doesn't even have DHCP reservations for VLANs like the recently released BE98 PRO firmware has. QOS still broken. MAC allow list per SSID still states 16 total addresses allowed when sales web page states 64.

Just generic code used for same security mechanism updates used in other models.

Really poor performance from Asus. Instead of releasing new models all very similar, concentrate on firmware fixes for customers that shelled out a lot of money.

Suggest everyone uses the feedback form in the router GUI or put a complaint in via Asus Support.

I would like to point out that these options, available on BQ16 (same hardware except gigabit ports), are still missing:

the choice of backhaul bands

WPA2 encryption

DHCP reservations for VLANs

The firmware for BQ16 was released 40 days ago.

Wow indeed not available on the GT-BE98... what's going on with ASUS lately ?

 

[Sundraw]

It seems to me that they have at least fixed the wpa identification with old devices when mlo is active with aimesh node. For the rest I agree with all of you, it seems like a generic update that keeps the router very castrated. It is absurd not to be able to choose the mlo bands at will, no vlan 802.1q tag that even my gt ax6000 manages very well. Asus seems to be going with the handbrake perhaps because it wants to favor other products coming out...

 

[FiloFx]

De werkende oplossing kan ik zo niet verzinnen maar dat het je aan kennis ontbreekt wel
welke imesh heb je?
wifi 7?
welke provider?
mlo netwerk?

Tired of using DEEPL to translate the troll's reply. But I'll answer it so you can see who lacks knowledge and doesn't even understand the issue here.

I said everything works fine on the main router, all configured well and working great. Now, my little friend, AIMESH makes a clone of your main router and copies/clone's it to the AIMESH NODE so you have another identical access point (AImesh) (and not IMESH as you write) in your environment. SO there is LITTLE to NO SETTING in the AIMESH to TWEAK (besides using SSH) and since the SETTINGS on the MAIN router are working flawlessly... ... are you getting it now ? Maybe something lost in translation ? If you don't understand it, obviously due to your lack of knowledge, feel free to ask and I'll be happy to explain it to you even further.

So again, ain't helping. Please don't troll.

Kind Regards
Fx

finaly some update, but in the past asus did check this forum, right now i dont no they even had a Beta firmware post here, maybe storm the support and say the problems the firmware still has, iam going to test mine to see if this firmware improves anything

 

[Thermaltake]

Flashed this morning. For now everything is working normally.

 

[FiloFx]

Flashed both just now (3.0.0.6.102_37838) , and the GUEST NETWORK wan block has been fixed.. .finally. Working as intended again. But the AIMESH is broken on some devices, it's not distributing an IP address on the AIMESH NODE to some Android devices and a TIZEN Samsung TV. That one connects flawlessly to the main router, but not to the AIMESH node, freshly reset and re-added. When I go back 2 firmware versions, AIMESH working fine on NODE. So def firmware bug. All my APPLE devices on the other hand have no issue with the node. They are working fine too. Keep in mind this is only happening on the ISOLATED GUEST network. The main network and BOUND guest network (same ip pool) have no issues at all and working great. It's only one ISOLATED GUEST network on bands 2/5 (not 6) that is having these issues. Already removed it and reinstalled it too, but no luck.

So only option for me is going back to OLD firmware.... <sigh>

This option was added in the latest update (2025/04/23)! Hooray!

DHCP reservations for VLANs

FYI, I never got to 32, nvram got full and it stuck at 21 max. Not a lot for an IoT network.
Yes that is Merlin FW, but the underlying DHCP reservations function is ASUS.
