    XT8 AiMesh System Crashing

    It has been a while since I posted in this thread. I figured I should post a follow up on how things went with ASUS Customer Service. I had two systems of two routers each. Asus had me return one of the two systems that seemed to sit there for a couple weeks without any action, then they...

    XT8 AiMesh System Crashing

    ...and none of these Ch BW settings or C-CH assignments should have anything to do with the system crashing every 3 to 4 days, but I figured I should follow their guidance first. And, by the way, I live in a Townhome community, so the spectrum is very crowded as it is.

    XT8 AiMesh System Crashing

    By the way, before going to a stable load as described here, I did want to get ASUS's recommendations and try them first. They said... Make sure you have the latest FW under Wireless Disable smart connect on 2.4 GHz, set BW to 40MHz and set Control Channel to 11 on 5GHz set BW to 80MHz and...

    XT8 AiMesh System Crashing

    Interesting. I had in my mind that having all the same units would work better than a mix. My Previous system was a mix of RT-AC5300 as the main router and two RT-AC68U's as nodes. This system worked well for several years and then all of a sudden, devices would drop and reconnect such as...

    XT8 AiMesh System Crashing

    Hmmm, given the product line is over a year old I had not considered I their latest (non beta) loads would still be unstable. I am using the latest 3.0.0.4.388_21099-g90a450c. Anyone else suggest that the latest load should not be used?

    XT8 AiMesh System Crashing

    OK, My ASUS XT8 System went down again today so that is 4 days after the last crash. Same symptons Main Router stays on with white LED, Other three Access Points (XT8's) have the flashing blue LED and there is a Wifi Signal but no internet. My PC is connected to the XT8 Router Ethernet port...

    XT8 Hardwired Backhaul issues

    That is correct, at some point I should connect two XT8's in one room with a known good ethernet cable then swap in my various switches to validate they were the sole problem.

    XT8 Hardwired Backhaul issues

    I was able to connect all XT8's together without switches and then connected the XT8's to downstream switches for other hard-wired devices on my network. I am now seeing Ethernet backhaul to all nodes so the switches must have been the problem. For now, I am satisfied and one day will try and...

    XT8 Hardwired Backhaul issues

    I will be troubleshooting this weekend. Am hoping it does not come to running new cables.

    XT8 Hardwired Backhaul issues

    Switches are not managed, but I can play with removing switches to see if the problem goes away. Cables have been in my walls for a while now and were working on my old system, but I can also re-crimp connectors if needed.

    XT8 Hardwired Backhaul issues

    OK, it seems to be intermittent for some reason. One AP is now showing Uplink Type as Ethernet so something strange is going on

    XT8 Hardwired Backhaul issues

    I had an RT-AC5300 and two RT-AC68U's (as AiMesh Nodes (hardwired). I have just purchased 4 of the XT8's to replace my old system as I was getting many dropouts on my Google Nest Hubs. Anyway, I set up the 4 AiMesh routers/Nodes in one room, then hardwired them all together in the same room to...

    Wifi Dropping devices

    Thanks. After reading a similar thread, I see I should try turning off Smart Connect, so I am starting with that, then will go trough various channels.
