RT-BE86U version 3006_102.5 very poor performance and missing many options on professional wifi settings page

[brokenbuddha]

As the title suggests, upgrading to version 3006_102.5 on the ASUS RT-BE86U cause extremely poor Wi-Fi stability for my VR headset.

Many important options on the Wi-Fi professional settings page on version 3006_102.5 are completely missing such as beamforming which introduces terrible connection issues and many dropped frames for my setup.

I have reverted back to 3006_102.4 where all options are available on the professional Wi-Fi settings so it's possible to disable beamforming and now my Wi-Fi is working flawlessly again.

I was just hoping that in future versions you might be able to find a fix for this problem if you have time as I won't be able to upgrade until it's resolved.

This is the same problem (for the missing options) as posted on : https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asuswrt-merlin-3006-102-5-is-now-available.95358/page-6
My BE88U and some peoples BE92U have all the same issue. Im "missing" 8 options between 102.4 and 102.5.

So you are not alone
