Note for those using MLO

[Alex52]

I use two GT-BE98 Pro units in MLO and noticed my client connections dropping fully out of MLO to 6GHz with lower rates after a few days of use.  Switching the RSSI disconnect from the default 70 to 73 in the two 6GHz bands apparently stopped this random and often rapid switching in and out from MLO mode to only using 5GHz and 6GHz, and restored my high connection rates. The 6GHz connection is still slipping back and forth with MLO but the clients are staying in MLO mode by only dropping to 5GHz MLO when this happens.  Hopefully, this was not the rebooting action of the main when changing these settings. Firmware 3.0.0.6.102_38984. Of note is Asus has just pushed the same version of this firmware for the BE96U as I write this.

Until ASUS has better firmware supporting MLO I'll just keep MLO fronthaul turned off. I get roughly steady 6Gb transfers compared to erratic band switching 4Gb transfers with MLO fronthaul turned on as it currently works. At least MLO downhaul does work well between my two GT-BE98 Pro units in mesh.

The strangeness continues. Earlier, I  saw 5 and 6GHz signals appear with a combined rate fluctuating around 8Gb. A few minutes later, the 6GHz signal dropped out and the connection defaulted to only 5GHz. A check showed the 5GHz signal at 22 dBm while the 6GHz signal showed 18 dBm. Something in the firmware is causing this.
