    gfblip suggests packet loss with Asus XT8, even when using the wired ethernet

    I am using http://gfblip.appspot.com/ to look at the performance of my XT8 Asus router. (There is some discussion of this tool at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33445178 ). In this case, I'm mostly focused on the wired aspect of the router because I imagine many different things could...

    ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21617 (2022/11/21)

    I would love to know what the "Fixed 2.5G port compatibility issues" means. Earlier this year I noticed slight packet dropout when connecting the 2.5gbps WAN port with my fiber modem's 5gbps port, and ultimately I went back to connecting the XT8 to a 1gbps port and the packet loss stopped. The...

    Release Asus XT8 - 3.0.0.4.386.43181 - 2021/06/17

    Other change is that in my regulatory regime (FCC), channel 100 is a radar channel, so I've now changed it to a channel in the range of 149-165.

    Release Asus XT8 - 3.0.0.4.386.43181 - 2021/06/17

    I recently upgraded my XT8 to the 3.0.0.4.386_43181 firmware and it was working terribly until I applied these changes - now it works much better for me than any prior firmware. (I live in a crowded apartment building in a large city near an airport.)

    iPhone cannot connect to the main XT8 device, only secondary XT8

    I have a pair of XT8s configured with AIMesh. Because of my apartment configuration, all of my devices are usually on the secondary XT8 (not the primary one that is wired in). This works great for my needs. However, if I enter the room containing the primary XT8, my iPhone cannot connect to...

    XT8 using 2.4ghz as backhaul even though worse than 5ghz

    They’re about 15 feet apart. But what I don’t understand is why 2.4ghz is chosen when the dedicated 5ghz has - by the device’s own metrics - a better connection.

    XT8 using 2.4ghz as backhaul even though worse than 5ghz

    I've just picked up a pair of XT8s and have updated them to the latest firmware (3.0.0.4.386_25790). I was surprised to find that my devices were using the 2.4GHz band as the backhaul - with a 1/3 bar connection. I rebooted and they were once again connected with a 3/3 bar connection on the...
