Boost will not connect to new Asus RT AX-88U router

I recently replaced my home router with a Asus RT AX88U router. After setting up my router using the same wifi name and password, I started my Sonos app. All my speakers were recognized and connected. The only component that would not reconnect was the Sonos boost. I tried a factory reset and the boost went through its startup, led flashing white / orange, then changed to a slow flashing green. The boost will on connect and I am at a loss. Thanks in advance for any help.

I don’t understand this one either. I have 3 Asus routers setup as an Asus AiMesh with an Ethernet Backhaul. Sonos is on the SonosNet via Boost Module. Sonos has 30 clients including Roam and Move both x 2.  No issues. 
I didn’t notice and I may have missed it …but has the OP checked for updates for his router?

Good morning everyone.

I thought I would provide an update. This morning I accessed my sonos system with my controller connected to my 5G network. Low and behold, all my components were visible and working! I then thought I would try things on my 2.4 network. Surprisingly all components were visible and working on that network as well.

Unbelievable, this is a first for me in the 3 years I have owned Sonos everything has worked on both networks at the same time. Lets hope these connections are maintained in the days to come. 

Thanks again for all the input.

Did your router firmware update itself?

Not that I am aware of. I did do all the updates prior to configuring and turning up of my systems when I started the installation two days ago.

This week my Beam would not connect to my Asus RT-AX88U router.

I have previously tried the enable then disable Airtime Fairness trick on both 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz, but my Beam would still not connect to my router.

What did help was changing the following option under Wirless → Professional, under 2,4 GHz radio. My Modulation Scheme was set to “Up to MCS 11 (NitroQAM/1024-QAM)”, I selected instead “Up to MCS 9 (TurboQAM/256-QAM)”.

Power cycled all my Sonos gear (Beam, Sub and 2 x One), and they connected back to the router and rejoined my surround setup.
