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 had reverted firmware from 21617 to  388.1 alpha 1, but similar issues were present (but not as bad).  Now back to the offline beta 21101.  The last ‘stable’ FW for me was 49873.  May revert back to that at some point until ASUS sort this mess out.

@robgbc kindly shared they are using channel bandwidth @20/40/80 for backhaul and stability seems good

Is yours similar ?

Mine is at 20/40/80/160 on the backhaul.  This worked fine on previous firmware.  Not sure what has changed from ASUS end.

Is there just a 20/40/80/ as would be a good option to see if the 160 is troublesome for yourself and maybe others for the more recent firmware releases ?

I have already reverted to offline beta 21101, if it also has the same issue I will try 20/40/80.  This option is available for me, but I have now set it to 160 MHz only.  This has always worked for me on 21101 and previous stable FW.

If this issues continues on 21011 I will try 20/40/80.

I can ask ASUS XT8 team if you wish to see if they may know more ? is the below the actual log type messages you are interested in knowing more about … ——– Nov 24 08:09:19 kernel: ^[[0;33;41m[ERROR archer] archer_mcast_activate,577: ADD_PORT: WLAN SSID has already been added: egress_port 7, current 0x0001, new 0x0001^[[0m ——–

Just to update, downgraded to 49873 and no single “error message” in the past 12 hours.

I did save the previous logs if Asus wants to see them

Interesting, I will ask ASUS about log message also

Here’s an odd one;

As you may recall from previous posts, I’ve had issues over time with 160MHz on the backhaul.. but as everything for me has seemed stable for a while, I decided to re-enable it from within the app – and so far so good.

What’s odd is that accessing the router settings via the web, it still shows the mesh as 80MHz and the 160MHz box is unticked. Yet it’s enabled!

This is like the app offering an OTA update, and the web interface not.

What’s going on with this? How can I have different settings on the same router?

I’m curious what everyone’s use case is for enabling 160Mhz, other than because you can. What WAN-LAN and LAN-LAN speeds are you seeing and are the higher speeds (1Gig+?) useful day-to-day outside of a speedtest environment?

160Mhz has potentially more opportunities for interference from neighbors and other external sources and while in theory it supports multigig wireless speeds, 80Mhz solidly supports 700-900+, which fully utilizes a gigabit class connection.

Cheers.

Scratch that. It has now gone back to just 80MHz and 160MHz is deselected in the app now… Go figure.

I have spoken with ASUS and they do wish to see the logs, I will email you (Forum registered email address) and can you attach log file so I can then forward it to ASUS

ASUS have asked do you use IPv6 and / or Guest Wifi, I think they have found something else of interest also
