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.

Trying this now. But you may want to upload your logs to Asus.

so check this out. ill make a long story short... going back on firmware WORKED.... BUT!!!! DO NOT TURN ON SMART CONNECT!!! I REPEAT DO NOT TURN IT ON! ONCE YOU DO IT WILL NOT WORK!!!! Oh changing WPA2 to WPA2/3 on 2.4 and 5gz will kill it too! Don't do that! Don't know why that's relevant. But it is. Also I did same settings with the newer firmware. It didnt work. So yea someone in ASUS dropped the ball bad in testing.

I have never enabled smart connect, yet my et8 nodes were still affected. I will try reverting firmware againwith this method and see what happens!

Well this is frustrating beyond belief…even if you turn auto update off it updates itself anyways 😡. So no permeant solution afaik.
