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…

Welcome, might be good if you could check your system log and see if there is any mention of ‘Radar detected‘ as this would indicate DFS radar detection is in action.

You might try the latest firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285 on AiMesh master and nodes, response from others is mixed:

• Hard factory reset all and build from scratch (not back-up config)

Then try the below one at a time and test.

• Set 80 MHz on the backhaul if possible
• Select Non DFS channel 5GHz-2 for backhaul
• Disable Smart Connect
• Disable guest network
• Disable WMM APSD (automatic power save delivery)
• Disable 5Ghz roaming assistant

Most of this you have already achieved and another option to consider is Modulation Scheme could be lowered depending on what you main connections speeds are.

Only other area to check is the 5GHz-2 backhaul wifi signal strength between the AiMesh nodes to ensure the value of -50 to -60dBm shows a good connection but anything higher and the AiMesh node maybe to far away for stable connection.

Note: If you do wish to persist with 160Mhz, set protected management frames to capable.
