Let us know if Teams has improved with 43181 this week

Same problem exists with 43181.  I have now turned off ipv6 and will continue testing this week.  Really annoying and weird, no problems with streamlining or anything else just online meetings.

Online meeting use VoIP usually ? any problems using other VoIP services ?

Also, without going to deep into your whole set-up, have you set-up or disabled  SIP ALG (SIP Pass-through)

Just a thought ?

No idea what that is .  My set up for working from home is a workplace supplied Microsoft Surface Pro connected via USB-C to my home monitor’s HDMI.

The Surface Pro has Windows 10 and Office 365, it uses Microsoft Teams to make calls and also online meetings.

Whats your Router ?

Edit: From your ZenWifi go to Advanced Settings > WAN > NAT Passthrough (hopefully you have the NAT Passthrough Tab), then check to see what SIP Passthrough is set as ?

If ON then disable SIP Passthrough and see if that helps with Teams calls etc. ?

The Surface Pro is connected via wireless to one of the ZenWifi nodes.  Turning off ipv6 did not help much.  I will try with SIP Passthrough disabled (it was enabled by default).

I had the same setup previously, but instead of the ZenWifi the Surface Pro was connected wireless to TP_Link powerline adapters (TL-WPA8630KIT V2).

Interesting that SIP Passthrough was enabled (interesting for myself at least)

I forget, whats the ZenWifi nodes connecting too ?

The nodes are connected to a Nokia router provided by Hyperoptic

These are the NAT Passthrough settings.  Only thing I changed was SIP Passthrough to disabled

After more problems with Microsoft Teams yesterday, I decided to roll back to 42095 last night.

 

With 5GHz-2 set to following:

Wireless mode: Auto

Channel bandwidth: 160MHz

Control channel: Auto

The backhaul was only 80 MHz

 

I then changed it to:

Wireless mode: AX Only

Channel bandwidth: 160MHz

Control channel: 124

Straight away backhaul changed to 160MHz

 

Microsoft Teams has been working fine today

 

Free RAM on 43181 (including 43169 & 43170) was around 200MB, on 42095 it is 240 MB

 

Sort this mess out Asus!!!!!!!

I bet you wish you purchased the Netgear  Orbi

The only difference in setting on 42095 compared to 43181:

Wireless mode: AX Only

Channel bandwidth: 160MHz

Control channel: 124

 

I would have got the Orbi if it had the Parental Control.  Orbi was much too expensive and no included Parental Control was the killer.

Wireless mode: AX Only

Channel bandwidth: 160MHz

Control channel: 124

That would be an interesting exercise
