This release has been the first stable firmware for me in the 388 family. Came from 386.49873 and this firmware has been so far so good. Hope it stays that way.

I do plan on calling an expert to play with my current setup before deciding to invest in new hardware again. Thanks so much for your help

When I get the time I’ll try to remove some routers and see if that improves things. I am aware that 300mbps goes to only one client but unless all clients are running speedtests at the same time, rarely will any of them hit 50mbps, let alone 300mbps. Just to give you an idea, I live in a 700sqm...

Honestly 300-400mbps is not bad. I was just hoping that there must be some configuration I missed in order for me to get to my subscribed speed. I have read some posts here that the XT8 has this sort of problem when the subscribed speed is more than 300mbps, it gets stuck at that speed no matter...

Yeah unfortunately asus does not have any poe routers or access points. Redoing everything with another brand (most likely ubiquiti) would not be cost efficient as it would render most of my asus gear useless. And as mentioned, we have concrete walls all over the house which is why I have so...

Can you enlighten me as to what configuration is needed for me to “optimize” performance? As well as to the hardware needed?

Hi guys! My current ISP plan is 600 down and 1gb up. When running a speedtest using my pc (connected via ethernet to xt8), I am getting that said speed. However, when connecting wirelessly, I am only getting around 300-400 down and 300-400 up. When I connect wirelessly directly to the modem, I...

This just means that ethernet backhaul for your mesh routers are working properly. However, you were not able to troubleshoot if the root problem are your switches or your embedded cables. If you have patch cables lying around, that would be the best way to test. By my experience, unless you...

Try to check your switch first. Use some patch cables from the switch to nodes first. If they show ethernet backhaul then your problem might be the cables embedded in the walls. You might need to recrimp or worse, run new cabling.

Seems like there's an increase in speed but decrease in reliability for this firmware. Hopefully they can fix it in the next one.

I recently upgraded and for about a week, all my nodes were disconnecting once every day and takes a while for them to reconnect if I don't manually restart the main router. Main reason is probably because I have 9 nodes in total of varying models and those other nodes have not yet been...
