In the end I had to do the same thing (for two Booms) - but also for an
old wireless scale as well - so the solution of a legacy AP (separate

Still an irritant that it is needed so I look forward to your

Starminder,
Do you really need WiFi 6 on the 2.Ghz band? New devices should support
WiFi 6 and 5Ghz, so WiFi 6 will is be still available. To recap, WiFi6
is disabled for 2.4 GHz, but WiFi6 is enabled for 5 Ghz. I am not

If it helps with listing alternatives, I moved to eeros Pro for wifi
access points. The duet, controller and touch all work with them without

For completeness.
POMdev did a lot of investigation on Radio & Wifi drops. This post
details the setup and what was checked.
I have two squeezebox installations, one in the country house which was
the one causing the problems that made me start this thread, and one in
the flat in town. Both of these are using ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8), with
the only difference that the setup in the flat only uses two nodes
instead of three.

Only the 2.4GHz settings are relevant to SB hardware player and I think
they also do not support 40MHz bonding so I think that setting should be
20MHz.

You have a mesh network - which means multiple ASUS devices (e.g. router
