When I went to schedule my XT8‘s to reboot it shows hour, minutes and day of the week but no AM or PM. Does it work on 24 hour time? Thanks.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I completely forgot to mention the issues I had with Sonos, after a particular update the Play 1 in a bathroom just stopped working and I was on the phone with Sonos for at least 2 hours to no avail. I reset the system after going through multiple tries and it finally...

I apologize if this is long and rambling, but I am my wits end with the XT8 and do not know what to do. I purchased a 2 pack back in November, the setup went very smoothly, and the performance was great, I had just increased my internet speed to 400 mbps down and 20 up and was getting full speed...

Finally got it. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

Thanks. I'm not seeing it so I wonder if I am missing it. When I open the mobile app it shows a photo of a single unit at the top left under the hanburger menu with ZenWiFi AX the login IP address to the right and my network name. When I tap inside that box it brings me to a screen with one unit...

I just received the ASUS XT8 system and would like to disable the LED lights. I saw on the app under home you can toggle the light off, but this only worked on the unit I’m using as the router, the node units light remained on. I don’t see where I can choose the node unit in the app to turn its...

I have had the Orbi RBK-50 system since its release. In all this time I have never had any issues, it’s been fast and stable, until I upgraded to last firmware version 2.1.2.18. I noticed that instead of getting my usual 125mbps down, I was getting in the 30’s or 40's. When I would reboot the...

Sorry, looks like I posted this in the wrong place. Should have posted under buying advice,

I have had the original Orbi (Router and 1 satellite) wireless system since it’s release and it’s been performing great (I don’t have the drops that some are experiencing). I am getting practically the full ISP speed consistently in all corners of our house and out to the backyard. My folks...

A few days ago, I was visiting a friend who has the Asus RT-AC68R router. He asked me to enable the guest network, so I logged into the router and noticed there was a firmware update, so I did it first and then went into the guest network settings and enabled the first 2.4Ghz guest network, gave...

I tried the Eero but found that the Orbi provided much better performance. In locations far from the first Eero and close to the 3rd Eero I would get about half the speed that I got from the Eero connected to the modem. With the Orbi I get my full speed everywhere including out in the yard. It...

Nope, I got the Orbi and I'm lovin' it but I did have to get a NAS where an external HD plugged into the usb port for network storage would have been fine for my purposes.

I am curious to know if there is a technical issue with using the usb port for wireless storage on the new crop of mesh and mesh type wifi systems, since non of them incorporate this desirable feature. I would think that one of them would do it just to get a leg up on other brands but from what...

Does adding a third Orbi satellite reduce throughput, or does it not reduce performance compared to the standard router + 1 satellite system.

I was at my local Costco tonight and was surprised to see they had the Orbi with 1 router and 2 satellites for $499. That is quite a bit less from what it is everywhere else, where the router and 1 satellite is $399 and an extra satellite is $249. Still expensive but if you need the extra...
