So I created a new totally seperate SSID on my Ruckus R550 access point just for these 2 SB radios. I disabled ALL the fancy stuff I could on that SSID like WPA3, WiFi6, etc. Connected the SB radio to that SSIDhoping for some improvement. Alas, it behaves exactly like my regular SSID.

now THAT is exactly what I was thinking. I want to hack the SB radio, add a USB jack in its back which provides 5 volts. Should be super easy. I bet it already has 5 V inside it, all I need to do it to find and tap into it. Worst case, I could add a LM7805 IC and viola! Nomen Nescio wrote: >

AFAIK. WiFi6 is a protocolit can work on on 2.4 GHz and/or 5 GHz bands. My router has option to turn Wifi 6 on/off on those two bands individually. But that did not make any difference in my XT8 mesh system. When I deleted the mesh the SB radios able to connect to the XT8 a little

yeah I had a similar experience. The mesh surely was causing the problembut IMHO WiFi6 is NOT the problem, mesh is. I switched to a standalone WiFi 6 router (Asus RT-AX3000)worked find right out of the box!.."with" WiFi6 enabled and actively used in my house! tcutting wrote: >

Well, for backwards compatibility, no router will (should) have this mode on by default. In my experience with two different WiFi6 routers, neither were set out of box to ONLY AX. That would be strange, because none of the older machines will workvery few clients do AX...I have only two

My take is our beloved devices are now super old devices and have compatibility issues with newer routers. You could try disabling WiFi6 (if you do not need it, e.g. if you really do not have any WiFi6 capable client).that may resolve the problem..like it did for my XT8 pair.

All I can say that it looks like that the higher end models from Asus have some issue. My AX3000 aka AX-58U is set to auto and has no issues. I know, I know, they say set the channel manually but it works fine for me. At first, I thought that the AX86U is tri band (like the XT8) and that is
