I just got two GT-AX11000 routers, and am having this issue on both. I did update them to the latest firmware as the first thing before setting them up. If I go to the wireless settings for the 5Ghz-2 channel, when I try to save, I get a console error (I've tried different browsers which all get it but this is from Chrome):

Of course I could drill into it for even more info, but it doesn't mean much to me. Applying settings on the 2.4 and the 5Ghz-1 channels are fine. During setup I used a weak password just to check some things out quickly, but was unable to update it for that channel. Only by resetting to factory settings, and doing everything again, was I able to enable Wi-Fi6, or change my password. I'd still like to hide the SSID on them but there doesn't seem to be a workaround for that even with a factory reset.
Is this working for anyone else? If so, what browser/OS are you using? Or if this is a known issue, please let me know as well! Thanks!

I'd just like to know if this is a recorded issue and can hold out until the next firmware, or if I'm gonna need to revert and stay there. My only current issue is broadcasting an SSID that I don't want to, but I can live with that until a new FW. Just stinks if I ever need to change anything else at all about this channel I gotta factory reset for now, and enter it during initial setup.


The problem is that I CANT change the settings, so I can't change the channel, and don't need to. The performance is fine, the issue is that no settings on the second 5ghz channel can be changed from the menu on the newest firmware. I'm not having any performance issues, my issue is with the ability to change any setting on the second 5ghz network.
I'd just like to know if this has been acknowledged by anyone at ASUS.

This is a bug, in the web interface, that prevents you from applying any settings changes to the 5Ghz-2 channel. Can't change channel, password, SSID, Wifi6, ANYTHING - Can anyone confirm if this will be corrected at some point or is at least acknowledged as an issue? I have it on two routers, and someone else confirmed that they had to change to the old firmware in order to manage their 5.0Ghz-2 channel as well.

this is exactly the issue (2.4 ghz and 5ghz-1 band is fine, 5 ghz-2 band has this issue)i am encountering that lead me to this forum after googling. tried all sorts of browsers, power cycle etc, doesnt work. short of doing a hard reset, but that didnt seem to work for a previous user in an earlier post in this thread. I created a ROG forum account just to reply. so it seems it's a firmware issue

furthermore, i have also been getting weird drops in 5ghz connectivity (not limited to one location in my home), the signal will lose internet connection then cease broadcasting , and then after awhile it reconnects, happening since this 3.0.0.4.388_22525/the previous firmware (not sure of exact occurance date but probably since early 2023

I just check and confirm I was able to change with the last firmware with 3.0.0.4.388_22525. Can you explained more or provide if you selected the field in Wireless tab for 5Ghz, you cannot select or anything?

Here's a video link. In this I show:
- 2.5Ghz second channel, even with no changes (I refresh the page first), gives a console error when you apply changes
- Attempt to make a change, same thing happens, after refresh, the change is gone (the 'applying settings' never goes away, I've waited 10 minutes before)

I've got 2 of these routers, same on both, and have tried from 5 different PCs as well as Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, all with the same results.
I'm using the latest firmware. Given the first reply to my post, I'm not alone here.

I tried putting in only 1 module into slot 4. The PC POST'ed, and I went into the BIOS and enabled XMP for 2400MHz. I then rebooted, and shut down. Put the second module into slot 2, and started up the PC again. But again, no POST.

I'm not sure if that would work, but regardless - I have no idea what timings etc to fill in there, and absolutely no idea what voltage. Can anyone help me out there? Or does anyone know of any other way to get these modules to run in dual-channel?

But nothing works in A1 or A2. Not a single, no doubles, nothing. Those 2 slots are completely dead. But not dead as you would normally expect from bent CPU socket pins or something.. the computer physically does not POST if you put ANYthing in either A1 or A2.

Of which I unfortunately have neither on hand, but I can live with single-channel for now. Talking to ASUS as well regarding the mobo, would be interesting to see if they can RMA or if they are going to blame the CPU or the RAM.

True, although there does seem to be alot of issues with this particular board (or well, all the Asus Z170's) and RAM with every new BIOS update. Google heaps page upon page of results on me when I search for this issue. Problem is, no 2 problems seem to be completely identical and none of the solutions worked for me (mostly regarding setting the RAM freq, voltages and timings manually).

With B1 and B2 according to UserBenchmark MultiCore read and write are half of what they should be, I assume because it's single channel and not dual which makes sense because the timings are the same if I benchmark a single stick.

As we are unsure of the memory model you installed, kindly verify that it is on the QVL list for the ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING to guarantee that any compatibility concerns are eliminated.
Please also check the BIOS homepage to see whether dual-channel memory has been enabled, or enter Advanced mode > AMD CBS > NBIO Common Options > Memory Configuration > Channel Interleaving to set it.
If the above have been confirmed but still cannot run in dual channel, please help provide the following information:

I followed the steps that you told me and I did not get the option "Memory Configuration > Channel Interleaving to set it." in the directory that you have told me, here are some screenshots of the options that appear to me.

However, we still have some questions regarding the following points.
Could you please help us confirm them for clarification?
- How did you confirmed that the memory cannot use dual channel? Are there any abnormalities in usage?
- Was there an issue with dual channel before updating to BIOS 3002?
Can dual channel be operated with default BIOS settings?
- Were the BIOS settings configured with DOCP enabled and manual set to 3600MHz?
What is the frequency when directly enabled DOCP?

Ranks can't be changed or tweaked. They are a characteristic of the DIMMs and how the chips have been integrated by the manufacturer. Your DIMMs are single rank DIMMs, and that can't be changed. It is not the same thing as single vs. dual channel. Dual channel just requires DIMMs in both channel A and channel B. You can have dual channel with single rank DIMMs, and dual channel with dual rank DIMMs.

In CPUZ, on the SPD tab, where it says Ranks [single] - This does not refer to "Dual Channel" but refers to the physical makeup of the RAM module. It has nothing to do with the RAM working on Dual Channel mode. If you use a software called, HWiNFO64 it will tell you if you memory is using dual channel mode as seen in the attached graphic.

I've bought an Asus Xonar D1 sound card a year ago. Since then I've been enjoying the sound quality and being plagued by it's bugs. Some were solved by switching to 3rd-party drivers, but one bug persisted:

I'm using the card in 2 channel mode (stereo). Sometimes after PC boots up one of the channels would be silent. Rarely that would also happen mid-work, one channel would suddenly become mute. So the sound would be playing only through the other channel. Changing sound properties (volume, balance) or soundcard drivers features (DG and such) would not help.

The bug persisted with official and 3rd-party drivers. Jacks and sound-system are not to blame (swapping all of those those did not help). Which lead me to believe that's a hardware problem (see the answer).

Anyone have a working 8 stick config using 32gb KingstonKSM32ED8/32ME listed on the qvl? Another very similar kit is listed KingstonKSM32ED8/32MER, the first is unbuffered and the second one is registered. To use all 8 slots/sticks is there any known working of these 2 sets?

I know this is a little late, and probably only helpful for later viewers but I purchased the following 8 x 1 stick kits of Micron unregistered ECC ram from CDW, for threadripper initially, but now have it running in the ASUS WRX80 board:

FWIW I received the 2 replacement sticks of 16gb 3200 Nemix ram and I have octochannel ecc memory. Yay!
I still want to memtest the whole thing for a while, but so far I am happy.
Nvteck was very responsive and any lag in the RMA process was caused by me.
Perhaps a choice for the non risk adverse who want to save a couple of bucks.
I was lucky that I had access to a 16gb 2666 rdimm kit for testing and validation of the MB.

Specify non-DFS channels, don't use auto channel selection. I have 1 radio using channel 48 (set to 20/40/80 MHz width), and another radio uses channel 149, same channel width. All 3 of my Ultras will connect to either with no problem.

You don't need to specify one of those channels, those co-exist best with MY neighbors, just specify some non-DFS channel, which I assume you're including by stating 5.1 GHz. Again, auto channel selection will include those channels that the Ultras won't see.

Thanks for the response. My router, in this case an ASUS RT-AC5300 and, other than automatic, only allows 5.1Ghz control channels of 36, 40, 44, or 48 and the "Extension Channel" set to automatic. This particular router firmware doesn't seem to know about DFS specifically and I can't manipulate the device to try different options.

I had the same problem as you, and I just found the problem. The 5Ghz network was set to choose automatically the channel, one day it changed to a channel with an high number and my card wasn't able to find the network anymore.
