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 am sure that will not be the case as I usually get the inside track on most situations regarding ASUS router products etc.  no hints have been dropped.

I will try again on Wednesday

So had feedback from ASUS and no updated firmware (beta’s) are currently available, in essence they are still working  on the issues with the Zenwifi AX module.

Update

Just been contacted by ASUS support who provided a new firmware to try out.  Hopefully they have found the route cause of the problem with the newer firmware and my Microsoft Teams issue.

Unfortunately I had several urgent deadlines so not been able to work from home.  I will be working from home next Tuesday and can update on progress.  The beta firmware is installed and all seems fine, just need to test with Microsoft Teams which was the main issue for me.

Microsoft Teams was a lot better with the beta firmware.  Tested yesterday and had issue during one Teams call.  A lot better than the latest ‘bad’ firmwares after 42095.

Great news, we will have to see if we can ask ASUS to release this firmware as a beta, just to help others with a quick fix until the next stock release is tested and available

Edit: was the firmware you tested – RT-AX95Q_9.0.3.4_386_43184-ge5e8d6c_nodpi_cferom_puresqubi.w

Yes that is the firmware.

Still not as good as 42095.  I never experienced any Teams issues on 42095 at all.

Test firmware 43184 lost Teams connection once yesterday, and today there were calls that froze mid way.  More work to be done to bring it back to the level of reliability as 42095.

I managed to get  a copy from ASUS today, but from the sounds of it, not worth creating a download link as 42095 is a better option

In my opinion, stick with 42095 for now.

I have sent feedback with logs should ASUS need it via the web UI.
