I have the same experience as you. The XT8 has never given me stable 2.4 GHz experience but I am really happy with the 5 GHz performance and stability.
I sent this as a support case through the router web ui. I actually done this twice, but no receipt on mail for that the issue is raised. No response from ASUS. Is this normal?
Just purchased two pack of XT8. I thought it was due to differences between ac86 and ac68. I can confirm that the same bug is still present. It is identical to this...
I have a ac86u as router and ac68u as node on rc2-5. I disabled the 2.4 band of the node. After a reboot the node was not able to Connect to the router anymore. I am using wireless backhaul (5 ghz)
I am back to official firmware, but I was not fast enough to install the version that does not exist [emoji3]
I have now disabled roaming Assistant on both bands. This has improved things slightly. The clients are now possible to reach most of the times, but once in a while they get...
Me too. I am strongly considering Amplifi HD or Orbi now.
What’s really frustrating is that after several new firmware versions nothing seems to be fixed, mainly security patches.
I have now installed Merlin 384.15 on both router and node. Same issues here. After a trip around the house it is not possible to reach the clients connected to the node. Frustrating!
I am a bit reluctant to invest in another AC86u, as it may not help. Send bug report to ASUS, haven’t heard a...
Unfortunately not. I have tested with some old homeplug but they only give me 20 MBit throughput, but you are right. This problem goes away with wired backhaul.
Hi
I have a AiMesh setup:
Ac86: router 3.0.0.4.384_81351-gcb63868
Ac68u: node 3.0.0.4.385_20252-ga052d4c
I am running with wireless backhaul. I have disabled smart connect as this gave a lot of disconnects.
Everything works fine and stable except that if a client (e.g. iPhone) roams from...
