Probably somewhat silly question, but I picked up a unit which seems to have a few problems (mostly 5g-1) doesn't broadcast (like some others on the forum have found in some combination... either one or both bands). I haven't found any solution for the "lack of broadcast"... and even when it does, no device can connect to the "troubled band". I noticed that the ON/OFF wifi button on the side of the unit, does not impact the wifi at all. I can always see what ever wifi is broadcast (ie. 2.4, 5g-2).... verified with any device and with wifi scanner app along with the led lights on the asus (they are always lit after the thing boots up). The led lights ON/OFF works but I haven't verified the WPS button ( I have never tried that method of connection). Anyway, sorry for the question if it seems out of place for this forum. I wish the unit was working properly.
I guess I have one other question. Somewhere along the "read travels", I have seen reference to "antenna chains" with repect to this unit and how they are band assigned (i.e. the front antennas are "chained" for 2.4g and 5g-1, while the back aree for 5g-2). I was wonder about the "chain"... does that mean if an antenna / port is broken in some electrical form (ie. missing / poor connection...etc) that "chain" may be broken at that point and hence potentially no signal is sent or received? I haven't actually seen how the antennas are wired, henced the question.
Thanks for any comments / guidance.
