For the "I have now installed beta4 and waiting for the results. What I see now (beta 4) no backhaul connection even though it works with the description of excellent quality!" try using the stock firmware on the mesh node, there's quite a few posts on the subject... Update on results and if any improvement on the stability...Configuration: RT-AX86u <---backhaul 2.5GB--> RT-AX86u
I have problems with the stability of the connection to the 5GHz band - especially frequent disconnections or WiFi slowdown without internet connection - applies to the phone, S22Ultra!
This issue occurs with firmware from 386.7....388.1 beta3. Firmware installation with hard reset. The best firmware for me is 386.5.2 - no problems (super stable 5GHz + 160MHz bandwidth!), full WiFi speed, fast and stable!

I'm worried they'll have to stay with the older version 386.5.2 without the latest security updates!
On your S22 Ultra's WiFi setting for that SSID, have you tried switching from Randomized MAC to Phone MAC?Configuration: RT-AX86u <---backhaul 2.5GB--> RT-AX86u

I've got these tablets I use to monitor my Nest camera's even with that switching to the fixed MAC I was still having problems with feeds dropping randomly I couldn't put my finger on. The WIFI on the tablets would just shut off (icon off as if there was no WIFI and WIFI wouldn't restart either) requiring a reboot to turn it back on (easier for the wife and nurse to deal with than tablet acrobatics to get it restarted). As of yesterday & last night, between moving to latest ASUS firmware for the mesh nodes (AX86's) and moving to 388.1 B4, on the router (AX88), they've yet to disconnect or drop randomly, and the WIFI (icon solid) on the tablets have stayed on. Every second that the tablets don't drop, is a triumph at this point. Normally if I got a few hours out of them I was lucky (each one dropping randomly). Performance has also improved with video feed stability and clarity. Camera (5Ghz) pinned to one mesh node, tablets (2.4Ghz) pinned to router.On your S22 Ultra's WiFi setting for that SSID, have you tried switching from Randomized MAC to Phone MAC?
Once you click the gear icon to the right of your 5GHz Wireless network, click on 'View more' for that setting (Android 13).
If the previous Beta versions all gave you issues within 15mins or less... I can see why your chosen username is Damit1, LOLUpgraded B3 to B4 on AX88U and AX56U and no issues are seen AFAIK.
If im not wrong, system running a bit stabler in Beta4 more than Beta3.
Running for 15 mins now
Thank you!

I'm curious... since a lot of your previous troubles pertains to Tablets & Phone... have you tried turning off Power Save found under Wireless => Professional ?Thanks for your suggestion, I'll check out this setting on my S22Ultra (Android 13) - maybe it's a potential problem generator. But in my WiFi network iPhone 13 and S21Ultra (Android 13) work fine with the "random MAC" option turned on - no problems!

What's the WiFi performance on 5G with stock Asus firmware?I've got this too. On my Virgin Media (Cable TV) IPTV Stream box. Greenfield area with no other access points for any interference on AX86U.
Was fine on previous firmware so something has changed and no software update from Cable company either. I even switched back the firmware and it was fine. Even reset the cable company's box even though it's only a few months old.
Everything else seems OK and doesn't exhibit this issue or they cope with it better than the cable company's box. Basically, the problem is Wifi suddenly goes slow by looks of it, then recovers. No ramdomised MACS here as use MAC filter. Channel 40 5ghz. No G devices. Beacon Size 200 but tried lower but there was no change on beta firmware.
For me, Adaptive QOS (provable easily as previous version firmware speed returns immediately) and Wifi 5ghz isn't working for me whereas most releases are fine, with occasional trouble on an alpha or early beta but then is OK by final release....
I do get what Merlin says about eh can't look at every WiFi issue because so many times it is the user environment, but truly stumped here what the cause is.
The last-minute IPv6 firewall issue made it necessary, as otherwise I was ready to release 388.1 final this weekend. I needed to ensure it didn't cause any new issue, hence the extended beta cycle.Been a while since we've seen a Beta 4 in a program.
