    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24768 (2025/10/20)

    I loaded firmware _24768 and DID NOT do a factory reset. It only reeked havoc on connections/speed and the like. That was a 'test' to see what would occur. So did a factory reset and the system calmed down. Still play'n with it. Can't seem to keep Amazon Echo connected to the network and...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24768 (2025/10/20)

    Hello, thank you for your post and information. All the improvements look attractive, yet knowing ASUS as I do, the question always remains, is this a self-inflicted hot foot when installed? i.e. is it stable and w/o (major) issues ? My network is small, with about 10 devices on it. I am...

    XT(8) guidance

    Hello Glens, I didn't know that firmware cross-pollinates i.e. that you could substitute firmware for RT-AX95Q and use it on Wifi XT8. My bad , I see RT-AX95Q is commercially known as ZenWifi XT8. My goal (really) is to reload the previous version (3.0.0.4.388_25790) as that worked...

    XT(8) guidance

    Hey folks, I am a Zen Wifi XT8 user.... the new rev of firmware ( 3.0.0.4.388_21617) is an under performer. I want to revert back to 3.0.0.4.386_25790 which was bullet proof. I upgraded to see if the new version was a better performer and to take advantage of any new fixes... well I have been...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21429 (2022/11/09)

That said, Version 3.0.0.4.388.21099 was not stable and continued to drop devices ( especially Google Home). So today I...

    ASUS AX6000 (XT8) when the main router fails

    hello folks, looking for an opinion here. Let's assume the Mesh router connected to the cable modem fails... Can one then take the Mesh node and make it the main router ? This will at least offer some functionality . The next step would be to order a one new replacement router ( is that...
