ASUS ZenWiFi BT10 Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 7 System – Official Thread I am thinking of upgrading from my XT8’s to the BT10. My 4x XT8 setup have been an absolute champ after the first few months of buggy FW releases from...

Not defending ASUS in anyway but I suppose one challenge for ASUS now is just the sheer number of products they support. Between AiMesh, ZenWiFi, ROG and all the newer WiFi 7 hardware, it’s probably a huge amount for the firmware teams to manage.

It is but when you see the firmware releases across the models such as all the ones on .6 seem to get the same bug fixes but it also means all the units are equally stuck on the base feature set as the day they were bought. Shame really as other vendors do add features over time but granted fewer models

It is a tricky dilemma, ASUS are operating on a large scale nowadays within the consumer router / gaming market sector, with loads of different models and product lines to maintain. Because of that, it feels like the focus is more on stability and broad compatibility, whereas brands like Ubiquiti and MikroTik seem more focused on advanced features and enthusiast users, network admins who want deeper control and platforms that evolve with more advanced features over time.

But yes, It would be nice if a major player such as ASUS introduced more new features fr all there models.

FWIW: I’d encouraged ASUS for years to implement CAKE SQM QoS as standard in ASUSWRT, but sadly it never really came to anything, thank goodness for ASUSWRT-Merlin.

Whats the best way to request a feature from Asus? It would be useful in the web ui to be able to set baby jumbos (1508 mtu on the wan) as if your isp supports it then you can get full 1500mtu without fragmentation.

 

you can do it via the cli but then it locks the webpage from further editing as it throws up an error the mtu is set too high so you can’t edit and change any other settings on the webpage directly.

would be a nice thing to fix

Had feedback from ASUS this morning after chasing them, response seems positive but no indication of timelines.

Indeed, we are aware of the significance of this MTU change. Related teams working on it.
