    Asus Zenwifi XT8 unable to access settings page once setup

    Worked it out.. For the benefit of anyone else with this issue, it seems to be that when you initially connect to the system settings via the app, it reconfigures the access protocol such that it is https via a specific port. So that needs to be specified in the URL…. If you go to system...

    Asus Zenwifi XT8 unable to access settings page once setup

    Hi. I've now got this same problem too after updating to latest firmware (3.0.0.4.386.49873) and hard-resetting (via WPS button) main router and all 3 mesh nodes. I can access the router via the Asus app on my phone, but can no longer access it from my PC which is hard-wired into the back of...

    How to force XT8 mesh into particular topography config

    Is your main router at the centre of your star arrangement? If so, perhaps that's the difference to my setup and why it works for you. Would be happy to help with your question on latency. Do you know if this is measured anywhere within the router's GUI? I don't recall seeing it anywhere...

    How to force XT8 mesh into particular topography config

    That's how it should work, but it doesn't appear to for me. All the preferred uplink settings are as I want them, but the optimise function seems to rarely pay any attention to it. I just did it again, just to make sure I'm making it up, and I'm not...

    How to force XT8 mesh into particular topography config

    That's an interesting way to think of it, and it makes sense. All I can say is that the performance I see from devices connected to various nodes is better when the nodes themselves link up the way I want. It's difficult to measure it objectively, though, given what you've said. The signal...

    It varies, sometimes it aligns with how I want it, and othertimes it doesn't...

    How to force XT8 mesh into particular topography config

    Hi, I've searched for an answer to this, but none was forthcoming. I have an unusual layout at home in terms of where the rooms are relative to where the internet comes in. To fix this, our main router, positioned where the fibre comes in, then connects wirelessly to a node positioned...

    Stability of XT8 (possibly others) when under load.

    Hi, it was done once the new firmware was on all units. Further to earlier suggestion, with IPv6 disabled, we just had another wifi outage. I was still able to access the router interface from my wired PC, and could see that a few wireless devices were still connected, but they were all...

    Stability of XT8 (possibly others) when under load.

    Excellent, thanks for those suggestions. The idea of rotating the units around is one I'd also considered. For now, I've disabled IPv6 and will see if that yields any benefit...

    Stability of XT8 (possibly others) when under load.

    Hi, I have been a silent observer of this forum relating to Asus routers, and have taken much useful advice from it. For context, I run an XT8 mesh involving a router and two additional XT8 AiMesh nodes around a large-ish home which I share with my wife and two teenage kids. I have the latest...

    ZenWifi AX No 160mhz for backhaul

    I've applied the DL/UL OFDMA + MU-MIMO setting, but it makes no material difference. No port forwards Advanced features - Only AIProtection enabled. Could turn this off for purposes of testing, but would prefer to keep it on long-term. Don't have any QoS enabled; guest networks or anything...

    ZenWifi AX No 160mhz for backhaul

    I've restarted WiFi on my phone and I'm now definitely connected via the main hub, just a couple of metres away: Retesting internet speed via the Speedtest app, it's now reporting 384/122 Mbps

    ZenWifi AX No 160mhz for backhaul

    Here's a screenshot of the log with the Tx and Rx rates included: iPhone's now at the top of the list there... Using Speedtest app, I'm currently only getting 264Mbps download / 121Mbps upload with the phone only 2 metres from the main router, yet via ethernet on the PC I'm getting 864/119 Mbps

    ZenWifi AX No 160mhz for backhaul

    As an Android user, it perhaps won't come as any surprise to you that iOS on the iPhone 11 doesn't provide any means to check 'how' the device has connected (2.4Ghz or 5GHx, 802.11n/ac/ax or whatever). However, crossreferencing the MAC address of my phone with the details on the WiFi Log on the...

    ZenWifi AX No 160mhz for backhaul

    I think you've hit the nail on the head... I live in Fife, Scotland, and in the line of fire of Munduff Hill radar station, according to the Met Office map you posted. That would explain why I'm finding it impossible to get any stable 160Mhz connection on the 5Ghz-2 band used for the backhaul...
