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 think you may be right on the wifi throughput as the problem.  My thinking is on the upload side?

The only thing I turn on is ‘Time Scheduling’ under ‘Parental Controls’.  Nothing is turned on in AiProtection.

I also tested with the beta 46197 which has all AiProtection disabled and it is the same issue.

If testing at the main XT8 gives worse bufferbloat than at the node, then the most logical conclusion from me is as you say throughput related.  My max speed at the 4th node is 540/525Mbps up/down and at the main XT8 is much higher, closer to 840/880Mbps up/down.

The issue is the same on node number 2 which is closest to the main XT8, at this node the speed is over 650/650Mbps up/down and also worse bufferbloat than the furthest away node.

Find it puzzling and interesting…..
