    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.46061 (2022/01/14)

    Hello Ironlake, Thanks for commenting. I have to deal with a challenging house, the secondary RT58U is there to help reach the mesh network. Otherwise, the connection is way too unstable. I will defintiely try another cable, and set up smokeping from the NAS for a different angle of...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.46061 (2022/01/14)

    Thank you for the info, it makes sense. Still, I see evidence here that the wireless mesh functionality seems to work pretty well, and that the problem might be a little further down than expected.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.46061 (2022/01/14)

    I have been on the latest firmware since a couple weeks now, and I can fairly say that this firmware is more stable than anything else between 42095 and now, but every MS Teams session has its interruption. Now, I have been blaming the wireless part, but I'm not so sure anymore. I am no expert...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.46061 (2022/01/14)

Power-cycled both nodes, but did nothing to improve the situation. I then reset it all, the WPS way, and reconfigured the whole thing. Alas, while the...

    ASUS XT8 - Wifi Drops

    That's interesting, thanks @Morris . I do live near a very small airport (2 km in straight line, and some landing routes indeed come very close to my home). I will try this, but it would be nice to have a pop-up from the Asus app (or anything, really) that explains what is happening, and...

    ASUS XT8 - Wifi Drops

    Hi, I see the same symptoms, not sure about the root cause. I bought some months ago a couple XT8’s as access points to replace the network provider’s Wi-Fi (the router remains, very solid performance). The backhaul is Wi-Fi (5ghz-2). Recently, I added a 58U as a node to reach a dead spot...

    Setup Asus mesh wifi 6 (2x xt8 or similar) with another router

    Hi, I did exactly that: I have a DSL connection and proprietary modem that works very well but the provider’s expansion boxes are not as good. My house is tall (3 floors), not wide and the stairs are located dead center. Heavy masonry, thick bricks. Therefore, I am using 2 XT8’s as access...
