AXE6600 ET8 6Ghz issue

[Cdamania10]

Hello All, I am facing a weird issue. I have 4 Asus ET8 setup as a route and yhe rest nodes. Back haul via ethernet connected to a gig switch. It use to work perfectly where all the bands were showing. 2Ghz, 5Ghz and 6Ghz and I had my phone connected to the 6Ghz and showing 6E and if I would move around the house it would transfer the phone to different nodes. Recently I started noticing that even though the wifi 6Ghz is enabled only the ET8 that assets as the main router works with 6Ghz the nodes don't work for 6Ghz it will not display it but setting shows that it's enabled and on.  When I go close to the main router ET8 it connects to 6Ghz instantly. Not sure what is happening and my suspension is something was messed up.after a firmware update came thru. Any assistance would be appreciated. I did a factory reset and still the same.

I agree this is really bad. I bought this solution as it was solid and now this. Such a disappointment.. not sure if anyone from Asus actually view this thread and brought it back to the dev team to figure out what may be causing it.

I have a similar mesh network, except 2 ET12's and 2 ET8's, with one of the ET12's as the primary router.  All nodes are connected with 2.5G wired ethernet backhaul.  I can get a 6GHz connection on the primary router AND on the ET12 node, but NOT either of the ET8 nodes.  All nodes are running up to date firmware; however, I tried switching one of the ET8's to the most recent Gnuton release; however, it didn't fix the issue.  

In summary, it really looks like this is an ET8 issue.

We need to keep push this post at the first page and let Asus alert this problem.

Frankly kind of disappointed at the lack of a reply to this pretty widespread issue.

Same issue here on ET8 V1 hardware.  AP Mode with wired backhaul.  Router and node worked perfectly on 3.0.0.4.388_23759.  After upgrading to 3.0.0.4.388_25112 only the router broadcasts 6GHz, the node does not.  I flipped router and node and the situation remains - so the problem is not with the hardware, it is an issue with the new 25112 firmware.   Maddening, and disappointing.  

I used the "Feedback" tab in the router to send this info to ASUS (twice).   With the long periods between ET8 firmware releases (averaging over a year between updates!) I am not optimistic this will be fixed any time soon.  I reverted back to 3.0.0.4.388_23759 and 6GHz broadcast from the node has resumed.
