I have found this thread of great interest, as I may be the exception. And that may offer some hope to other Wi-Fi 6 Asus users.
We have been running an Asus AX-enabled mesh system for over a year now with 3 wireless SB legacy clients (2 Touch & 1 Radio) - with no problems whatsoever. An RT-AX88U is the router, with two AC86Us as nodes. Wi-Fi 6 is FULLY enabled on the AX88. And the Radio in particular prefers connecting to the 88 over the closer AC86 (probably because the 88s signal is just that good). I just spent four hours today running a Touch in an outbuilding 70 feet away from its nearest 86 node, and it played flawlessly. What we have encountered on one or two occasions where a wireless client refused to communicate with LMS (red signal meter) was a DHCP conflict, which was remedied by clearing the DHCP table on the router. It also helps to assign the LMS host a static address, so the clients always know where it is. However, as our AX client roster is growing, next week I will be swapping out both AC86s for a pair of AX XT8 nodes. One of our node locations (reaching that outbuilding) requires a wireless backhaul that the three band XT8 can better accommodate in a series configuration. The 88 will remain the router. I will closely watching whether the legacy wireless SBs can tolerate these newer AX nodes. I suspect from the issues others are describing that the issue is router based. And at least in this configuration, the AX88 has gotten along with the legacy SBs, and I do not expect that to change. We have a total of 10 SB clients, and over 50 network clients total, but the majority are ethernet-connected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sgmlaw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13995 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112167 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
