    XT8 not able to find or factory reset

    Ok, at some point I'll feel brave enough to do a fresh start and leaving 42095 behind. I need four XT8s because it's one larger house (containing router and one node) and two cottages in the garden that need their own nodes. Thanks for suggestions.

    XT8 not able to find or factory reset

    I've had a few fresh restarts in the past 2.5 years, but I'm reluctant to try it again, given the fact that in the past month three of my XT8s have been turned in zombies in the process of downgrading firmware to 42095. I'd rather have stable internet on 42095 than unstable on the latest...

    XT8 not able to find or factory reset

    I have a very simple set up. One XT8 as a router and two XT8s as wifi mesh nodes (one via ethernet and one wireless). All default settings. I'm a consumer, not an IT professional, looking for stable wifi in my home. Sure, I can reinstall everything, but there are multiple people having trouble...

    XT8 not able to find or factory reset

    I would love to be running a newer firmware! In December 2022 I was on the lastest firmware and it was very unstable, getting disconnected every hour. When trying to work from home, this makes the internet connection basically useless. Yes, I'm killing good XT8s, but I'm doing it out of...

    XT8 not able to find or factory reset

    Good point, I thought that all HW v 1.0 would be compatible with 42095. If I get a new XT8, I will not downgrade. My production year is 2021, not 2022. However, I'm not just killing good XT8s. The whole reason that I'm downgrading in the first place is that my XT8s are producing an unstable...

    XT8 not able to find or factory reset

    I did the set up process for the 2 new XT8s. I added them to my network (connected with ethernet) and then downgraded the firmware to 42095 (both hardware version 1.0). The first one is all good and is up and running. The second one turned in to a zombie :( I've now in total downgraded six XT8s...

    XT8 not able to find or factory reset

    The new ones are also hardware version 1.0. My plan is to downgrade them to 42095, so that all 4 XT8s are running the same firmware, but haven't had time to set them up yet. In general everything seems much more stable on 42095, so I'll stay on that until I hear there is a new release that...

    XT8 not able to find or factory reset

    Just to finish up this thread. They sent me two new XT8s, so I guess there wasn't an easy fix.

    XT8 not able to find or factory reset

    I sent them out for repair. 3 years warranty and only 1 year since my purchase. ASUS would not take them, but referred me to the retailer that sold them. Hopefully they can fix them or send me a replacement. My other 2 XT8s are still producing stable Wi-Fi on 42095, so I’ll stay on that firmware.

    XT8 not able to find or factory reset

    I tried it, no luck. Ping to 192.168.50.1 unsuccessful. I give up, I'm sending these two XT8s back to ASUS. Thanks for suggestions and help! One attempted firmware downgrade was all it took to make them completely unresponsive.

    XT8 not able to find or factory reset

    No, I’ll try that tomorrow. I did assign a fixed IP to the PC when trying to run the restoration (192.168.1.10/255.255.255.0) according to the guide: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1000814/

    XT8 not able to find or factory reset

    Thanks for suggesting! I connected the XT8 to the computer and went through a loop pinging all IP numbers https://vpnalert.com/resources/how-to-ping-a-range-of-ip-addresses/ It came up empty, however if I connect the computer to my function XT8 it can ping all devices on my network, so ping...

    XT8 not able to find or factory reset

    No luck yet with the rescue mode. I connected the XT8 WAN port to my computer. But the computer doesn’t see the XT8 and the restoration program does nothing. Time for warranty.

    XT8 not able to find or factory reset

    I found the 42095 in a thread, maybe this one: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/interrupted-connections-on-zenwifi-ax-xt8.73210/ Not on ASUS site. I did try the recovery mode, also suggested by @tgl. However, I could not get my XT8 in rescue mode, since it is behaving like a zombie. Any ideas...
