Hi all, I have recently come across an issue with my ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) (2x nodes) where devices intermittently disconnect and do not seem to be able to reconnect….
Ok so I applied some settings or configuration changes as recommended in the thread linked below and it seems to have resolved the issue. At least the system didn’t have the permanent disconnects for over 10 days now where as before they were coming back every few days.
I’m still not sure why these settings fix the issue, and why the issue only started since putting the primary node into PPPoE mode.
Here is the thread, and I have copied below in case it goes down or disappears.
- set Backhaul Connection Priority to “5GHz-2 Wifi first” (probably not relevant for you since you’re wired)
- set 2.4GHz bandwidth to 20MHz
- fix control channels on 2.4GHz/5GHz-1/5GHz-2 bands to 1, 36, and 149, respectively
- disable Universal Beamforming on all bands
- disable Roaming Assistant on 5GHz-2 band (again, probably not relevant for you since you’re not using it as backhaul)
