Wait for it or auto upgrade! Or use the Android or iOS Asus app.

Not very informative and bad spelling due to big fingers.
Think I'll wait a bit to install this one.

Does anyone know if this firmware fixes the 160MHz bandwidth issue in 386.49447?

 

[OzarkEdge]

Dirty upload from webUI.

I notice right off that now you can not set 160MHz and fixed channels. Edit: It's a webUI thing like before. This will need a full review... again.

You'll need to help us with that! It's complicated.

[OzarkEdge]

Whoa! Now they are talking U-NII bands! This could be good!

I'm beginning to think they don't have this figured out anymore than I do!

I'm beginning to think, rather, that they're moving on to what the next evolution of WiFi has become.

 

[OzarkEdge]

It gets better... or worse depending on what this means:

No, they're still figuring out WiFi6 settings!

[L&LD]

Yes, the entire world is. Since 1997, I believe.

 

[OzarkEdge]

I'm going to reset before I play with these new options. Who knows what new defaults have come along.

OK, the above went to this after Apply:

I'd say they don't have the UI working properly.

Edit: Router clears 36/160, but allows 36/80. Client connects at 36/80. Same as before, so far... no magically bump up to 36/160 when the client connects.

[L&LD]

Seems to be working properly from my perspective here?

 

[OzarkEdge]

This is webUI nonsense:

I'll reset and look again.

Why? It is giving you the options possible (at this stage).

When/as you select/apply further, options are removed/added, and refined.

Nothing weird to me.
