Asus TUF Gaming AX6000 support

Thanks just did that now, i'm sorry i'm new to OpenWRT..getting used to it...hopefully i'll be able to accomplish with it what I need..

fearz · October 13, 2024, 11:32am

Question, why can't we use version 24.x with that router?

p.p · October 13, 2024, 11:36am

OpenWRT 24.x? Because it does not exist (yet).

fearz · October 13, 2024, 11:39am

Thanks,

Are there any required packages to be installed with this router to be fully functional (drivers? WIFI drivers? / Specific packages?)

Also any recommended packages to install on it?

Grimace9113 · October 13, 2024, 11:45am

I only used bridger and and dawn for band steering

I use it as a dumb AP.

I am still getting lag spikes though; so - Not sure what I would recommend at the moment

fearz · October 13, 2024, 12:03pm

Whats bridger for?

Grimace9113 · October 13, 2024, 12:06pm

WED - Wireless Ethernet Dispatch

https://openwrt.org/toh/asus/tuf-ax6000

That could be causing my lagging for all I know

Anyone had something similar?

Yes after longer uptime. I think the message can be suppressed by compiling the kernel without a certain debug option, but somewhere a driver is leaking.

iceman2012 · October 13, 2024, 5:44pm

Hi folks. So just to be clear are folks not able to set this router to use 160 Hz. I can set the channel but all my aps will be disabled if setting to 160 Hz. If you have it working can you tell me the steps. Thx

https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/

You should be running stable from above, not from a random, custom .bin you found which likely has tons of other things enabled and likely on by default.

You are using vlans with opensense so you have to enable vlans on the AP and tag traffic on your managed switch correctly.

cookiemonster · October 13, 2024, 6:38pm

All I have on is software and hardware flow offload on. The filogic 830 SoC stays near idle all the time so I didn't pursue WED or packet steering.

802.11r - some devices just don't work so I don't use it
IPv6 - some android devices have bugs with IPv4 only, so I turned it on.

If you moved the WAN (eth1) over to the LAN bridge to use as an uplink, you may have hit this bug:

### Describe the bug While using the router [Zyxel EX5601-T0](https://github.…com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/1c05388ab04c934ec240e8362321908f91381a90) I randomly encountered the following problem: The Ethernet switch driver (mtk_soc_eth) stops working, for no reason (the crash log is attached in the Actual behavior section).

Upon crashing, all Ethernet ports stop responding: not allowing me to access the OpenWRT GUI via numeric IP/local DNS name. I can only access the OpenWRT GUI from the Wi-Fi interface. (The bug affects the mtk_soc_eth ethernet switch). To restore full system functionality, I had to completely reboot the router. ### Expected behaviour The network connectivity should remain stable, and the router should not experience timeouts/crash or loss of LAN access. ### Additional info The issue occurs randomly and is not reproducible consistently. The log indicates a timeout in the transmit queue of eth1, which is related to the **Mtk_soc_eth** driver. Searching the web with the keyword "(mtk_soc_eth): transmit queue" I came across several similar issues. Except for this problem, the router has never presented any instability problems I should add that I use Stubby for DoT configuration, I don't think it is the cause of the problem. ### Diffconfig _No response_ ### Terms - [x] I am reporting an issue for OpenWrt, not an unsupported fork.

I only saw the above bug once over months of usage.

Grimace9113 · October 13, 2024, 9:02pm

I'm not using those 2.5 ports - Yet - Though I will be once some NICS arrive; so something to look out for

I don't have 11r enabled, though I do 11v and 11k.

I need to have a play with it - But the issue is so intermittent it's quite hard to detect etc.

I saw someone on the git ticket had graphed latency; I was going to look at doing something like this....Maybe pick out high pings or something

I haven't got round to thinking how I'm going to measure changes yet - Any ideas welcome!

fearz · October 14, 2024, 6:50pm

Guys,

Isn't this w WIFI 6e router? why can't i see a 6G band? is there something I need to do to enable 6g?

Juniorek81 · October 14, 2024, 7:13pm

It`s a WiFi 6 router not 6e

Grimace9113 · October 15, 2024, 9:19am

Having got round to looking it the latency issue; I found a tool called Pingnoo which you can leave running

I can now make the changes and see any affects

Bulgar71 · October 19, 2024, 2:13pm

Hello everyone
I am the happy owner of an ASUS TUF AX 6000 router.
I have a question: is there an option to scale the processor?
Enabling Irqbalance doesn't enable all cores?
The software is OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r27683-5ee75b6bb2

Grimace9113 · October 20, 2024, 11:39am

Not sure.

I've currently moved back to stock to try and get to the bottom of the lag spikes

fearz · October 20, 2024, 12:00pm

An issue:

I created 2 5Ghz SSIDs, I need to set each with different settings but I can't, when I change a setting in one it changes the other, settings such as Mode/Channel or Width...

Is that normal?

iceman2012 · October 20, 2024, 1:24pm

Yes it is. Happens to mine.

All virtual SSIDs are tied to the same radio so you can't assign different channels. Maybe developers may tell otherwise
