    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    A lot of my IoT issues (nest thermostat, govee home sensors) were solved by putting them all on a 2.4 guest network. I have no idea why it worked, but it did work.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    Yes, so far so good for me in terms of stability. In addition, my ooma voip set up is now much more useable. The sound quality has improved significantly.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    How do you like the synology? I've been running this new firmware since yesterday. So far, with my two units hard wired, it seems solid. I was testing an ooma voip system and the call quality became much better as well. The one downside is that I can no longer fax (I know, my wife is a lawyer...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22068

    I've also kept the main router on 22068, and downgraded the node to 21099 due to numerous losses of node connectivity (red light). Since that change, things have been pretty stable for me. I have the backhaul hard wired.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22068

    I'm on version 1 of 22068. My backhaul is hardwired. Since the update, I've been having issue with the node turning red and going offline. Very irritating. I'm going to see if things don't stabilize over the next day or two, but then may downgrfade node to 21099 as others have suggested. Of...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21099 (2022/10/03 )

    Beta has now been solid for me for several days.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21099 (2022/10/03 )

    I've now been running the beta for about 28 hours. So far, its stable. No dropped nodes. Of course, my backhaul is hard wired

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware Version 9.0.0.4.388.21101 Beta Version (2022/10/27 )

    I've been running the beta for 24+ hours. I have a wired back haul. No issues so far. The latest non-beta version was causing the node to drop off and start blinking red, until I rebooted it.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21099 (2022/10/03 )

    My problems have been somewhat different. With 21099, I was experiencing my node dropping with a flashing red light (lost internet)? My nodes, however, are connected by ethernet cable. I also had my guest network drop once over the course of a week. I'm trying out the beta to see if resolves any...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21099 (2022/10/03 )

    Hi Darksector, How did the Beta software work out for you?

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.49873 (2022/08/04)

    In all fairness, my own experience with ASUS tech support is that they very commonly can't diagnose firmware issues, and often default to sending new units. In my experience, these new units almost never fix the problem. It's almost always a firmware problem. They need better tools and training...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.49873 (2022/08/04)

    I rebooted both. Actually, the issue only exists if I click on the mesh icon on the diagram on the home page. If I do that, it only shows me the mesh client, not the main router. If I go in through the mesh tab, everything is as it should be. I wonder if it has always been that way, and I’m just...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.49873 (2022/08/04)

    I let my reouter automatically update to this firmware. Everything seems to be running fine, but when I go in the control software and click on mesh, I only see the node, not the primary router it is meshed with . They are both xT8. I never had this issue before. I'd prefer to avoid doing a...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.48706 (2022/05/03)

    Its' odd that some people are having the types of issues you are describing, and others are not. I'm set up with wired backhaul, freed up with 6 band for some clients, and have over 30 clients connected across both node and main, with no issues. The only consistent issue I have is that some IoT...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.48706 (2022/05/03)

    I have ethernet backhaul, did a dirty upgrade from the beta, and am having no issues. It's all solid.
