AX product Wi-Fi connection limits

No, the configuration of the RT-AC66U is exactly the same WPA2 and AES password as I was using on the RT-AX88U.

But it probably isn't both AES-TKIP. Some older devices want/require the TKIP piece which some current routers such as my AX88Pro running Merlin doesn't provide. The newer routers that seem to still provide AES-TKIP are ISP provided routers.

Did you try wpa/wpa2 personal in order to select tkip+AES encryption?

Yes, but when you make this choice then hit apply it reverts to AES only. To confirm that it is only AES you can use a Wi-Fi scanner app and it will show that SSID is in fact AES only. During the alpha and beta releases I reported this behavior to Merlin and suggested if not possible or desirable to actually enable TKIP that he remove the option from the pull down list.

Most consumer router/AP's are going to hit a hard limit on the number of clients per radio...

General rule of thumb here is 32 clients per radio, and something used for network planning.

In my case, as I mentioned before, every device is capable of connecting to the network. The issues appear to relate to the number of devices connecting.

I am now working with ASUS to try and identify the issue.
