Hi, Happy my video helped. I always try my best to give as much information as possible but know sometimes it a lot to take in ☺️ Thank you for the super thanks never received one before, I am very humbled.
this was highly useful, even with a gt rapture ax6000, I want to see if you have more videos regarding this. I'm looking to secure against others peeking on my network as I live in a block of flats.
you missed the moct important one on the professional area and that is region.You need to select the USA to get 160MHZ channel as this is not available in many regions including canada and Asia.
i have the router GT-AX11000. and every month my my wifi connection to the internet got disconnect so I have to restart the router. Basically my phone/computer is connected to the wifi all of a sudden internet does not work anymore. wifi is still connected and my router has internet connection. I have to restart the GT-AX11000 for internet to work again. Is there any suggestion? Firmware is up to date.
Does sound like a strange problem, first thing I would do is note down on your table/computer your current settings. Then perform a factory reset of the router, and then setup the router this may take some time and be a pain but at least it will give the router a fresh boot. If the problem still is the same then, check to see in Advanced settings > Administration > System (tab) > Under 'Network Monitoring' select 'Ping' > Ping Target 'Choose whichever website you prefer' from the dropdown > Click 'Apply' . This may help to keep your internet connection alive.
I have the same issue but have been noticing it's occuring every couple of days. I'm ready to get rid of the GT-ax 11000 and get the nest wifi pro just because I have so many iot devices and I demand stability; this does not give that.
I am having drop outs daily. I can’t just buy an extender in NZ because our country only sells out dated stock everywhere. But I did all his suggested changes and I hope it works better. I also changed region from Asia to USA in hopes I can access USA websites I generally can’t 🤞
can u make a video on Enable WAN Aggregation setting, if u know how to enable it.. I have 2 incoming connections but i can figure out how to get them to bond, the asus faq isnt much help and there isnt much info on it searching google for it..
Hello! I wanted to ask, do you have any ideas on why my router's 3rd band is connecting and then disconnecting? My device's will connect and then disconnect to my 2nd 5g band, and sometimes when they connect its with no internet. Do you know why this may happen? Also, this wifi issue has happened across multiple routers, but i have gotten no help from anyone.
I cant connect my canon printer on the 2.4Ghz Wifi when the router setting is set to wpa2/wpa3 personal, when i set it to wpa2 personal i can connect my printer, i dont understand why this isnt working when i set in to wpa2/wpa3 personal. The printer isnt asking for the wifi password after i click on the SSID name, but i get a error when the router setting is set to wpa2/wpa3 personal.
Hello, may I know if you know to limit the connected devices in rog ax1100 pro? We have the same interface of web UI. I wana set it 3 or 4 devices who can connect on the wifi. But, i did not see on the web UI.
It good to turn on smart connect. This feature let you connect to 2.4ghz or 5ghz automatically depend on your device. Best part about this s that if you walk further away it will switch to 2.4ghz instead of drop signal than you will need manually switch. Use signal steer for how week signal before it will switch.
Yes, as you said makes life easier if you do go out of range of the 5Ghz channel then you will switch over to 2.4Ghz and still have WiFi with no connection loss.
When initially setting up the ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 PRO to my comcast modem, am I logging into the cable modem and then will I have to reset all the device passwords that were originally set up on the comcast wireless network?
Hi, I have exactly the same router gt-ax11000 but the issue I am facing on it is that my devices aren’t picking up 5GHz band. As in when I search for it in my wifi settings on my iPhone 14, my 5GHz band just doesn’t show up. I have tied factory resetting the router as well as messing around with different control channels but no luck. Any solution?
Depends on the device you are using, but generally try using the QoS on the router to see if this helps. As this will prioritize the Category of Apps you require.
Thank you for the detailed video. I have the Asus RT AX82U I’m on 1000Mps FTTP set up was easy, left everything on auto, getting good wireless speeds both WiFi 5 and 6 however as soon as we move to the other room it drops on WiFi 6. My house is open plan the router is high in the hallway. I did try turning 160Mz off and QoS off and on no joy. Any idea thanks.
@@EclipseReviews Excellent review, thanks. Hiding your IP address makes hackers suspect you may have a reason to hide. You are probably more tech wise which means you may have crypto currency. Turning off SSID makes you stand out when you want to stay anonymous.
Can you do a video about the boost button and wps button on the router. It seems pretty stupid that the only info I find about boost button is I can assign it a task for rgb lighting…
Perhaps try and unplug the router for 5 minutes, then switch on and wait till all the lights come on. Then hold in the reset button at the back left until all the lights flash and switch off (this may be a upto a few minutes). This should factory reset the router.
I need help Currently using rog GT AX 11000 pro I cant download games on Ubisoft connect. While other apps is fine. It only effect whenever i connect to the wifi router. Is there ay settings thats hinddered the usage of downloading certain app?
The default settings for the router should not block anything, Perhaps try the AiProtection and switch this off or the Parental Controls - Web & Apps Filters.
Hello, could you please tell me why you selected 48 for control channel under 5 GHz-1? (mine was on 36). I also need to know the best settings for 5 GHz-2 because you missed this also. I also would of liked to see how to set up smart connect and wps which you skipped too. On the last Tab Professional you totally skipped region (mine is on Asia) can’t even see what yours is on either? Thank you much
Control channel is based on your surroundings; just because someone else has it doesn't mean you should have the same. In fact, you should steer away from it. There's an app that lets you see your neighbor's channel, but you really don't want to be on the same channel as everyone else because it gets really crowded. Your Wi-Fi speeds won't be as high, and your signal won't go as far. If you want to find the best channels for yourself, I would recommend downloading an app called "WiFi Analyzer." It basically lets you see which channels your neighbors are using and shows if a particular channel is crowded or not. Basically, you should choose the channel that has the fewest people or no one using it. Hope This Helps!
You can schedule restarts, this can be done via the App or Browser. App: Settings > System Settings > Schedule Reboot > Then switch on using the toggle. Browser: Under Advanced Settings > Administration > System > Enable Reboot Scheduler.
When running AImesh, do I need to configure the time scheduling on ALL THE Nodes or/and the main router? I experienced several issues when I turned on time scheduling is set on main. the nodes was not able to find the main router after the time scheduling was turned off. I had to run AImesh configuration again. A real hassle. Any one experience this?
Is this for the WiFi schedule or the reboot schedule? I have not come across this myself, but will try and see if I can setup my AiMesh and see what happens.
@@EclipseReviews I assumed that the time schedule will turn off the wifi. I set to turn off wifi on the main router between midnight and 6am, when i tried to use the wifi from the nodes after that time... I couldn't connect it, but the main router was okay. I checked the GUI and the node was disconnected. I tried unplug the node but nothing happen, I had to reset the node and reMesh to the main router. I am not sure if turning off the wifi from the main caused the node to disconnect. But it should automatically reconnect to the main node when the wifi time scheduling is off...
Sadly in the Asus router App you can only access the main WiFi settings, and not the Professional tab settings. App: Settings > WiFi > WiFi Settings > Network Settings
Thank you for the video, it helps lots. May I ask where is the "Reducing USB 3.0 interference", as I'm a former ASUS user so just curious about this option. Currently I'm facing the slowness of USB 3.0 but not sure if it caused by this😂.
Most the Asus routers use the same base code for there firmware, the only difference will between Mesh WiFi systems, and WiFi 6 and 6E devices. But base option will be the same.
NIce video, so thank you for making it. You just possibly don't know physics enough and I won't blame you for that but in order to make it clear because it was mentioned many times in your video, the higher the frequency would associated with the lower bandwidth (Not higher) Or on the other hand, frequency and bandwidth goes on the opposite direction of each other based upon obvious wave physics characteristics. That is why the coverage would be more limited if wifi generates connection on higher frequencies with lower bandwidth vs lower frequencies with higher bandwidth. And finally. I was personally expecting to get a more in depth tutorial video for the setup vs reading the help menu on each category and explaining what it says in plain English. There are several setting adjustment titles that you went through but didn't even explain accurately.
Best ot compare the WiFi settings in the menu Wireless > Professional (tab) here you can compare to see why. It may be because one band has 160mhz enable for more bandwidth.
If you are using smart connect the router will default to the best signal. If you run a speed test far away from the router it most likely will default to the 2.4 band which is significantly slower than the 5ghz bands. I turn off the 2.4 ghz band so I always get the faster speeds available.
Thanks 👍 my router settings were messed up and now everything works great.

How do I access this app AND settings on windows PC
Hello, may I know if you know to limit the connected devices in rog ax1100 pro? We have the same interface of web UI.
I wana set it 3 or 4 devices who can connect on the wifi. But, i did not see on the web UI.
What’s the place to go on my browser from my pc to get the advanced?

I had a cheaper asus router one time, before my gtax11000. It said in the settings that hiding the ssid was a security risk. Don’t know why though
That is strange , is supposed to help with security 😀 when hiding your SSID.

Is this still applicable in May 2024? I'll be doing a fresh install of windows. Thanks in advance!
Yes everything is still applicable, and the router is still going strong.

Appreciate it thanks
Would you recommend putting devices on a static ip Y/N
Yes does help for certain devices, like my Network home server and Smart IoT devices I set them within the DHCP menu.
Can you do a video about the boost button and wps button on the router.
It seems pretty stupid that the only info I find about boost button is I can assign it a task for rgb lighting…
Sure will add to my list
If you have a bunch of wifi networks in your area choose channels 1,6, or 11 . They don’t overlap
Yes these are the best channels, best for me personally has been channel 6.
Great detailed video.
Are you able to do a similar video for the Asus GT-AXE16000?

Best ot compare the WiFi settings in the menu Wireless > Professional (tab) here you can compare to see why. It may be because one band has 160mhz enable for more bandwidth.
