2.4Ghz Wireless Mode - ZenWiFi BE30000 BQ16 Pro

Running latest Firmware Version: 3.0.0.6.102_36869

I'm  not seeing any options other than "Auto" in the Advanced/Wireless/Professional/2.4GHz Radio/Wireless Mode dropdown.

I typically select "N-Only".

Did it disappear in the latest version?

Does the b/g Protection and Disable 11b effectively lock it to N-Only?

I noticed that @ user had it in a screenshots here in this post at SNB Forums (older firmware):

I heard back from Asus Tech Support Today:

"Upon confirmation, the newer firmware versions for the latest models (version 3.0.0.6.102_35404 and beyond) have removed the N-only and Legacy mode settings due to design considerations."

I haven't seen the older settings in so long I may not have ever seen it.

I don't ever touch the settings either unless I am having an issue connecting a 2.4 GHz IoT, but I searched a little and I think you would uncheck b/g Protection and check disable b.

Thanks @jzchen 

Feels "buggy" to me... Seems like there should be more to a drop-down that just  "one" option 😁

Tried unchecking b/g Protection and checking Disable 11b

This is how it came back after clicking apply:

Tried checking  both and it came back both checked:

Yeah it's obvious to me that my thought about all that is my misunderstanding...

Reminds me of why I "do not touch" them.  🥴

Luckily there are only so many permutations/combinations to choose, and it doesn't even allow the one I thought made sense.

That leaves 3 possibilities:

b/g protection on disable b off

Both on

Both off, (if it allows).

You could try the three one by one and determine which works best...

I left it default but I don't have many IoTs to be completely honest...

OH,

Maybe the drop down has more options depending on the combination of checked boxes...
