    ZenWiFi AX XT8 - Have I made a mistake?

    Got the ZenWifi XT8 in summer and I knew as with all new ASUS products, they need a couple firmware updates to work out bugs. I live in a 2,400 sq ft house and main modem/master router in upstairs bedroom and node is directly below the master in the living room. After firmware update a couple...

    Release XT8 New Firmware 3.0.0.4.386_25790

    Downloaded and installed, no issues and my whole setup seems faster. Every time I buy a new ASUS product for last 5-6 years - it takes them 3-4 FW updates to iron things out. And since we can’t use Merlin, we wait on them to optimize. So far really happy with this FW update.

    ASUS App - Remote Connection to AC-5300 with Merlin

    Thanks guys - that sounds like a good idea - I'm a techie but not a networking guru. I use a VPN for work that is setup by IT and I see the "Open VPN" for the router. A couple questions: 1) Where's the best setup instructions ? 2) Do you use a seperate program to connect ? 3) My work laptop...

    Hi Guys, I run 380.64 on AC5300 and Merlin for last 2 years, but I'm a newb on networking logs. Can someone list exactly where everything is that should be off ?
