    [WAN feature request] GT-AXE16000 use 2.5G port as LAN and use 2 1GB ports for dual wan

    Yes, absolutely that has always been an option along with many others and a much easier option. I'm just stubborn I guess, I invested in the Asus mesh router ecosystem for a number of reasons just 2 years ago and having spent all that money on the system - which I otherwise like just fine - I...

    [WAN feature request] GT-AXE16000 use 2.5G port as LAN and use 2 1GB ports for dual wan

    Which leads me neatly back full circle to what I said in my first post :rolleyes: Quote: "I understand that it's too complex for Merlin". Yes, sadly I understand that the current status of the project is such that new features are no longer a priority. That's clearly not how the project...

    [WAN feature request] GT-AXE16000 use 2.5G port as LAN and use 2 1GB ports for dual wan

    If all features had to first be in stock firmware, then what would be the point of using Merlin? Didn't many of the features added to stock first appear in Merlin firmware, including dual-wan? You could probably say that _only_ appeared in stock because they were first demonstrated in the Merlin...

    [WAN feature request] GT-AXE16000 use 2.5G port as LAN and use 2 1GB ports for dual wan

    Pretty sure I didn't say otherwise? Edit: Not that I'm even certain that Dual WAN functionality has relevance to this feature (changing WAN port) other than the existence of the Dual WAN feature (plus AP mode, node mode) all prove that it's not a hardware limitation.

    [WAN feature request] GT-AXE16000 use 2.5G port as LAN and use 2 1GB ports for dual wan

    Here's the thing, it's not a hardware restriction. In AP mode the router will happily let you use that 2.5G WAN port for LAN/backhaul but then you lose the routing features. The restriction is very frustrating. In 'dual wan mode' the hardware and stock firmware will happily let you use a second...

    Tutorial How to use VLANs on your non-pro Asus router with 386 or 388 code (no scripting required)

    2x XT8 with 5x XD4 Minis extending coverage (It's an old house with 1-2ft stone walls between every room). At least I assume that's the question you're asking? A few managed switches with a couple of different VLANs configured on a 10GB fibre trunk that eventually I hope to have the nodes all...

    Tutorial How to use VLANs on your non-pro Asus router with 386 or 388 code (no scripting required)

    Just checking that I've understood this post correctly (and checking my sanity) - although these VLANs are related to the Guest network, this still doesn't allow wired devices in VLAN to communicate with wireless devices connected to the Guest network*? If that's the case, I'm don't really...

    Unable to reach local network through single node (XD4), internet is fine

    It's all relative I guess, reaching this particular node is a little more difficult at the moment due to the large stack of renovation materials in the room in which it sits. Hence why I said it would be a pain to have to do that. If I can resolve the issue without needing physical access that...

    Unable to reach local network through single node (XD4), internet is fine

    Odd issue here, only noticed this in the past week but I have a single AX Mini node (XD4) out of six that is misbehaving - should it matter, the router is an XT8. When connected devices switch to this node they lose the ability to connect to my servers on the local network. Internet continues to...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version Version 9.0.0.4.386.48966 (2022/05/27)

    I would assume so. It's likely most of the firmwares shares the same code base for common functionality, a but introduced in one device firmware is likely to show up in others.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.48706 (2022/05/03)

    I'm not going to change the password on every device in the house, I guess I'll just wait for a release (not beta) firmware which fixes this issue. Still glad the issue has been figured out.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.48706 (2022/05/03)

    Just want to second this, I rolled back to 46061 and that works perfectly for me, with my setup.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.48706 (2022/05/03)

    I too have had nothing but issues with this firmware, and worse still I had just moved so my initial assumption was that it was everything _except_ a silent firmware upgrade on the router which wasted the best part of two days of trial and error. Like others I was seeing issues with wireless...
