To be fair when setting up a brand new Wireless Router I don't see changing the SSID & password being used as a big deal. I see changing the SSID & Password used for the Wi-Fi as good security. Sure, you will have to reconnect everything back to the network but that won't take long. Least afterwards you will 100% know there is no unknown devices on the network since you changed the SSID & Password.
Appreciate this video so much as i am planning to get this router soon. Just q uick question tho, i couldn't really find how many devices this can hold? Appreciate the help as always!!
I have 104 devices connected to it. Not all of them are computers and Smartphones, most are ON/OFF switches, light bulbs, and smart plugs thought the house.
Advice that asus told me if new asus router or if u used a tplink where you put on your devices with new router it is possible for good working it needs again put on the new router if there are problems. They call it handshake. The problem if ax on with WiFi plugs ect then also lower. I now its lot of work when needed 😊 So u can use for example old isdd but connect it again too new router.
Hi, sorry to bother you. When I go to "network installation," it only gives me the manual entry option. The automatic option isn't there, I can't find it at all. Please help me.
I have some big problems with this video. Manually setting the control channel to a setting that doesn't overlap with all your neighbors is one of the most important things to set up, auto almost always sets it to channel 1 even if all your neighbors are on channel 1. This will cause reliability problems. Also wifi 6 mode is fully compatible with all other wifi versions, if the client device doesn't support wifi 6 it will connect with wifi 4 or 5. If you are having problems with wifi 6 mode that's most likely a software problem that has been fixed with software updates in the last year (I haven't had any problems with my AX86u for a long time).
Thanks for the valuable tips, although most of our clients have issues with legacy equipment when they enable WiFi 6. For some reason it doesn't switch automatically to WiFi 4, or 5. About the Auto Scan mine always lands on the best and clearest channel, unlike yours that always picks channel 1. So you might want to do a firmware update on yours. Thanks again for you input.
Can I save configuration settings from my older Asus router (merlin firmware) and upload the configuration settings to a newer Asus router using the (merlin firmware)?
The problem is that there are some settings and features on the new interface that wasn't there on the older ones, so I think it may not work. However I haven't tired it myself so I could be wrong.
Good for you, but you might be using low security, or limited compatibility mode. For example some devices may not work while others work great, or the security level is low and you might be at risk of being hacked.
When I got to make the ssid name like how you did in the first video should I rename it the same thing that my wifi has always been with same password? Because I have one of those new smart house things so I don’t want the devices like the fridge and everything to mess up.
Need help, I bought a product which REQUIRES to connect to a 2,4 Ghz + the band being in 802.11 b/g/n mode. How do I get this to happen? Do I need to do it within the Asus router? Or through my laptop by going into the advanced setting for the network card? The router (or AiMesh more correctly I think) is an Asus Zenwifi AX. Thx for any help :)
Dear Khalid, thank you for your explanation of the router setup. It's quite unique to find something in such detail. I wonder where you got the pdf User Manual (link in your videos) ? I have bought Asus ExpertWifi EBR63 and inspite of the registration with ASUS I cannot find the relevant manual in this very detail ...

Check to see if there is any substantial radio interference near your router. Also, check the Power Plug to make sure it is securely attached and not lose at the wall plug. Lastly check the firmware version updates to ensure you have the latest version installed.
This was an amazing video! thank you for the series. I never had different SSID names for the different bands, (e.g. SSID-2GHz, SSID-5GHz.) Do you think I will run into problems if I disable the Smart Connect but keep the SSID the same across all of the bands? I would like to avoid reprogramming the hundreds of devices, but I also want to turn off Smart Connect. thank you
The problem is that, how will you distinguish them yourself to pick the best one. It will create confusion and you will end up connecting to the slower 2.4GHz without even knowing it.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 good point. Thanks. But in the end, I will wind up doing what I thought I was trying to avoid: the need to modify over 100 wireless devices, since it is changing the SSID name. I really enjoyed your videos and the way in which you explain things. You would make an excellent professor !
