Please note that this fix does not work with the JRS Eco Routers. I don’t know why, however, due to my desire to minimize wifi radiation in my home I don’t wish to use another wifi. This is the only device that does not work with this device and I don’t know why. I’ve installed 6.9-20251116, rebooted several times, and reentered the password. I’ve also tried tweaking with the settings on the router login without success.
Just a long shot, did you reset your Mobile Network Settings? You are supposed to do that with every update.
Thanks for the tip! I had not been doing that, but unfortunately that wasn’t it.
Would anyone from the Brax team be willing to do an online meeting with me to go through all of the settings on the JRS Eco router? Unfortunately, I don’t really know what I’m doing in messing with various settings.
I assume you are speaking of the JRS Echo 100 model, as it is listed as “low EMF”?
Have you gone through the setup routine in chapter 3 of the manual? It outlines step by step the process of how to connect an android to the hidden network
Appears that this router goes into standby mode until a registered device’s MAC address pings the router. If you have not set it up and registered the Brax3, it will never connect.

3. Connecting your wireless devices to the router
One thing is different from ordinary wifi routers. This has to do with the Eco 100
router’s special zero emission sleep mode.
To guarantee your device can wake up the Eco 100 router from sleep
mode, on modern Android® and Apple® wireless devices, you need to
connect to the hidden network ‘jrs’. You need to manually set this up once
in your device, then it will remember the credentials.
• In the wifi menu of your device, select ‘Add network’, ‘Other network’
or similar, and then manually enter the SSID / network name ‘jrs’
• Select security WPA2 (personal)
• The wifi password is the 8-digit PIN number listed on the label on
your router.
• In Android, if Advanced options are available, set ‘Hidden Network’ to
Yes.
It’s fine to simply connect to the visible wifi network ‘JRSeco100’.
Connecting to the hidden network ‘jrs’ only needs to be done on devices
that you want to be able to wake the router from sleep mode

Igor - THANK YOU so much!! That did it! I’ve had the router for so long that I had forgotten about it. My Brax3 now connects to both the 2 and 5 ghz signals!

Asus RT-AX82U with current firmware (as of November 27th 2025) works fine with WPA2. No drops or issues regarding WiFi.
