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

    Thanks @DaveR. Just to close the loop for all on this thread, based on advice from a different forum, I downgraded the firmware to a previous version (4095). It seemed to work better for a day or two, with the 5GHZ-2 backhaul for most links (except one router that is a bit farther away - makes...

    ASUS XT8 all of a sudden weak mesh node signal

    Well, the system is gradually moving to 5GHz backhaul with great signal quality. Just one node left that is on the 2.4GHz backhaul. I guess the firmware downgrade worked! Thank you all.

    ASUS XT8 all of a sudden weak mesh node signal

    Update: I downgraded the firmware for all 5 of my routers to 42095. Did a hard reset of all 5 to factory settings, then rebuilt the mesh network from scratch. The first node I added to the primary router - perfect. It used the 5 GHz - 2 frequency for the backhaul, and the signal quality was...

    ASUS XT8 all of a sudden weak mesh node signal

    Thank you @maximillion82 and @Raven76 for the helpful instructions on downloading the previous 42095 firmware. I've downloaded the file and will try that next. (No surprise, a complete reinitialization of every node, plus switching out the primary node for one of the others, did not do any...

    ASUS XT8 all of a sudden weak mesh node signal

    Hello, @Raven76, Could you explain how to go back to 42095? I have observed similar behavior to @L&LD. The weak connection appears to correspond to 2.4 GHz backhaul. But I don't think that means the 2.4 GHz signal is stronger. I find I cannot get the nodes to join the mesh at 5 GHz backhaul...

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

    Sorry to jump in so late but I'm having very similar issues with my ASUS aimesh system. I'm using the ZenWiFi AX system, 5 routers connected wirelessly (it's a big house with thick stone walls), the main router is connected via ethernet cable to the ISP-suppled modem/router sitting next to it...
