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…

1. The node seems to like dropping to 2.4GHz and saying weak signal – even though the 5GHz signal is very strong (so strong that I could almost get away with just using the XT8 router on its own, if I didn’t mind losing the LAN ports upstairs). Rebooting the node doesn’t help. Optimising doesn’t help. Selecting to ‘reconnect node’ actually might, but sometimes it requires an actual power off/on to do anything, and then it’s back for a few days before it quietly drops back to 2.4GHz and stays there until further manual intervention.

A few of us have realised over the years sometimes with ASUS and there firmware, it is a case that you have to find a firmware release (older maybe) that works, rather than thinking the latest releases are better, ASUS firmware’s are  buggy, sometimes.

I will check with ASUS as to the Status with firmware’s for the ZenWifi ?
