Reply To: ASUS ZenWiFi AX Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System Not sure if this is the right place to ask…. I am thinking of upgrading my Google Mesh wifi to the above. Has anyone used this and does it…

I’m the guy from the other forum! :-p
I’ve had the same issue with my 4 XT8 and firmware 42095 (initial set-up made after an hard reset)… 5GHz-2 was open, visibile and with a strange SSID (“ASUS F0” or something similar)

I simply changed the values… no problems at all…

By the way: reverted to 42095… 43169 and 43170 have several bugs:
– issue with re-keying for backhaul (each “Group Key Rotation Interval” seconds, by default once an hour) – traffic between node and main router is lost for 10-15 seconds. I did a long-run ping session on all my nodes simultaneously (with pinginfo free program) and I found this: the nodes lost ping for about 10 second consecutively, after a period of time, then ping return ok… and so on…
– node reconnection: after 1 day the third node of mine was connected to home-router with 2.4ghz instead of using 5Ghz with the second node
– 2.4Ghz issues… not for me, but several users have issues with older smartphones or eith vacuum cleeners or with others domotical things…

with 42095 I’m perfectly solid now… no ping lost anymore and no mesh-node’s reconnection

ps: I feedback the first issue with the web gui…
