'Disable 11b' check box only disables 11b from one node - Asus ZenWifi Pro XT12

[kingdaveontour]

ANy help appreciated. When i tick 'Disable 11b'in Wireless Mode, InSSIDer shows that i have a config mismatch and indicates that one node is broadcasting on b/g/n/ac/ax and the other is g/n/ac/ax?

I have the same issue with my GT-AX11000 and XT8 node, so probably a Asus code issue

Perhaps try a system reboot(?).

I have observed same thing, b,g,n,ax on node with "b" ticked in

SSH into the node, then the NVRAM variable you want to set;

wl0_rateset=default/ofdm where you'll find is set to ofdm on the router and default on the node. "NVRAM set wl0_rateset=ofdm", then "NVRAM commit" - no more 802.11b
Not to be confused with "wl_nband=1(2)" which values based on that status of how the check box to disable 11.b is set (1 not checked, 2 checked) but only for the GUI...

Here's how the AX88, and AX86 nodes, look like now; note: no "b" or its basic rates...

I actually like to disable basic rates below 12 just to keep one distant N or AC device from slowing down the network too much. Not sure if that can be done on the Asus, my Unifi supports it though.

You could probably use a variation of this. Although it would be a bit messy to script it.

Even with the unifi, trying to disable CCK without disabling the lower OFDM is challenging, but since I'm fine with not having anything below 12 it works out fine. Not too concerned with doing it on the Asus as that is indoors and nothing is far enough to fail down to really low rates. Disabling B/G/A is good enough there. From that thread looks like if I ever move to an AX router, that will no longer work and might have to look into a script if I want to keep that disabled.

Thank you, working fine after ticked "Optimization" on aimesh node.
I,m using this:

if [ "$(nvram get wl_nband)" = "2" ] && [ "$(nvram get wl0_rateset)" = "default" ]; then nvram set "wl0_rateset"="ofdm";nvram commit; fi

EDIT: typo in script

Thanks !
