Product Information

I can’t figure out why my WiFi 6 enabled laptop isn’t showing the speed and signal strength as 1.2gbps same as my WiFi 6 enabled phone when they are both connected to the WiFi 6 band at the same place in the room. Would you have any ideas? I’ve been a follower of yours for a year now, and really love the first-class content you deliver to us.

Regarding the D/L, it was 10.7 Mbps, but then dropped mid test to the 1.7 Mbps, and when I tried to run a second test it wouldn’t connect to the server. But here’s my big problem. I connected my main gaming system / PC by wired connection to the router port, and it slowed down significantly (from my previous Linksys AC router)! How can the wired connection through a router be slow?!Both my Galaxy Note 10+ and laptop are at the same spot. Laptop is using an old D-Link DWA-182 wifi adaptor (AC1200 dual band b/g/n/ac). My Note 10+ connects only to the 2.4GHz of the AX92U (main unit), where as the D-Link connects to the 5GHz of the same unit. I don’t know why, my phone can only connect to 5Ghz if i’m in front of AX92U, and if i leave the unit out of sight, my phone switches to 2.4GHz. I had rebooted the router to no avail. Phone still connects to 2.4GHz while the wifi adaptor connects to 5GHz. How can I make the phone to select 5GHz? However, if i goto the node (located upstair) coverage area, phone connects to its 5GHz without issue. How can I make my phone connects to 5GHz of the main unit? Most notably, it has AiProtection that includes free online real-time protection and a set of Parental Control settings. There’s also Adaptive QoS that allows for easy prioritization of the Internet traffic for different purposes.

My problem is that I can’t figure out why the reported negotiated speed is not reporting as 1.2 or 2.4gbps on my laptop, but instead fluctuating so wildly. Another reason to use One Wired and One Wireless means to connect – to avoid PowerCut / Regional Area/Builiding originated Issues. The router has no multi-gig port, but it does have Link Aggregation (both WAN and LAN sides) and Dual-WAN. The former enables you to combine two ports into a 2Gbps connection, and the latter allows for turning one of its LAN ports or a USB port into a second WAN connection.

I am not too bothered by the network speed drop off (it’s not a significant amount) and I’m also not all that bothered by Trend Micro harvesting my browsing data (we are too far gone to stop data harvesting in this day and age), however do you think there is anything to be concerned about regarding the increased idle memory use? The 92U is a terrific little router but excessive amounts of memory is not it’s strong point. Thanks for the reply Dong. I’m not sure this is going to connect to your previous reply to my comment as there doesn’t appear to be a reply button under your last comment! Sorry if it lands out of position.

I did this on a few items in my system which consists of three AX92u’s with stationary equipment that does not need the benefit of mesh handoff moving around the property such a desktop computers, wifi printers, thermostat, a split system in a garage, etc.. If the Primary Broadband fails , will it automatically utilize the full potential of the 4G Sim MobileData. Fixed envrams exposed issue. Thanks to Quentin Kaiser from IoT Inspector Research Lab contribution.

ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8)

As you mention it is not even a real wifi-6 mesh router. I have since then read quite a bit of your articles, but I can’t put my finger on the sore spot over here in my situation. Keep the current router’s setting but use a network cable to connect the node unit’s WAN port to its LAN port. I want to know what you think the best way to use the AX 92Us with an AX1100, and if the wired connections on the AX1100 are fast (I think I know, but the AX 92Us LAN ports seem so bad, I’m not sure any more! )..
