    Great for updates but not "Important: After installing this firmware, we strongly recommend performing a factory-default reset to activate every new security adjustment."

    Guide to understanding Asus System router logs

    Apologies if this has been clearly posted and labelled, but dismally failed to find it. Is there a goto help page that can help me understand all the lines in a System log i.e. this means that, This is ok and standard - you should be concerned if this appears etc? Thanks Regards G

    I'm about to give up on the BQ16, Inconsistent WiFi speeds.

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    Again no issues, with x2 BQ16s 1 master and 1 AiMesh wired backhaul, now going for adding XT12 in AiMesh wireless node. Will be looking to see if this upsets the current balance and working then see how that performs from the shed (supporting wifi in the garden)

    Struggling with Asus ZenWiFi BE30000 aka 3 node BQ16 Pro bundle

    I'm also back in AiMesh Mode (BQ16s) only 2.5 days though but so far so good, I've held off adding my XT8's into the mix until I have at least a week on no issues, but so far so good.
