BE96U Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_38984

[os2]

I have Mesh with BE96U and AX11000 pro. On previous firmware (3.0.0.6.102_37849) AX11000 was master and BE96U was node, everything working fine just not wifi7. After i uploaded new firmware to BE96U, i decided to switch and put it as Master, after evertything was reset to factory default and setup, AX11000 SSID not maching SSID of BE96U, after several attempts and switch it back to AX11000 as master. This time BE96U as a node, display correct SSID, but it was not connecting any devices on 2.4 or 5. Again several reset and attempt, nothing. Downgrate back to 37849, reset and everything back to normal. I guess Assus change something on this firmware and since AX11000 not receiving update, thay cannot work as mesh any longer.

With AX11000 Pro tri-band dual 5 GHz, and BE96U tri-band but 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz, your best bet is to set up the BE96U as primary router and AX11000 Pro as AP (I suggest static/manual IP assign it). You will have to set up both individually but you will have control of all channels. There is a WiFi Agile Multiband setting. I turn it on on all, (in mine there's 2.4, 5-1, 5-2, 6-1, and 6-2. I have a BE98 Pro and AXE16000 APs).

I have, but after latest firmware on BE96U, it did not work. Question, if you set BE96U as a main, the node AX11000 will not see WiFi7, but how you can setup the node (AX11000 to be able to connect for 5-2), i have 10GB wire backhaul mode, and AX11000 cleqrly show 5-2 but how you assign password to second wifi 5Hz to use it ? My phone see the second 5-2 on AX11000, but i cannot connect without password setup ?, since its a node, i cannot login to it and manually assign second wifi to work. Thank you

That is the problem I'm afraid. I do not know a way to configure 5 GHz-2 on any node unless the primary router also has 5 GHz-2. Ideally the main router should have 5 GHz-2 like the GT-AXE16000. The only solution I am aware is to remove the AX11000 as a node, then connect to it and set it up as an Access Point, unless ASUS made a way that I am afraid I do not know...

Actually both networks are Access Points with AiMesh nodes. I separate them then can control 5 GHz-2 on the AXE16000:
