    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.49873 (2022/08/04)

    I'm in the US on the latest firmware. I can't figure out how to activate U-NII-4. I don't even see that option in the wireless settings. edit- Nevermind, I figured it out. You have to set wireless to auto first, then that option becomes available. This is great- it's also an added level...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    I totally gave up on RC2 and just reinstalled the release firmware on both XT8s. I am using them in media bridge config with 160Mhz dedicated backhaul because that's the only way I'm able to get a fast, stable wireless connection on the backhaul. AiMesh just keeps falling back to 2.4 and "Weak".

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Since upgrading both XT8s to the latest RC2 I just cannot seem to find my node. Even when I fall-back to the release firmware I still cannot find it.

    Same problem.

    iOS app

    I just posted that in another thread- there is no option to change VPN settings in the iOS app at all, just the Android app.

    Beta ASUS Instant Guard iOS/Android public beta

    It's unfortunate because I'd like some sort of easy way to change VPN servers on my XT8. At least the beta Asus Android app allows you to do it from mobile, unfortunately the beta iOS app doesn't.

    XT8 experience so far

    How do you expose the wireless backhaul? I just got an iPad Air 4 and I'd like to try out the 160MHz band. I don't really use the mesh node in my bedroom much so it doesn't matter if 1 ax device is sharing the backhaul.

    [Maylyn - Networking] ASUS ZenWiFi XT8

    I'm tempted to give the new beta a shot. Even though my wifi6 backhaul is connected at pretty much the max, I'm only getting 400/400 on wired devices to the node for some reason. FYI: I asked in the Feedback tool if they could free up the 2.5G port on the main router for LAN use because most of...

    Just got my XT8- questions

    Get similar results with the node in the other room. I'm sure with a little tweaking and firmware improvements things will get better over time. That said all I really wanted was a more reliable dedicated AX backhaul, especially for Gamestreaming from my PC to my Nvidia Shield, which is a...

    Just got my XT8- questions

    I did a factory reset and now the backhaul is connected at 2594/2594 (was higher before) but my internet speed over the wireless backhaul to wired devices on the node remains the same ~400/400- and that's with the node placed directly next to the router. Odd. Crowded 5G band here but surely I...

    Just got my XT8- questions

    Node and what device? I'm using gigabit ethernet- even with the node right next to the router I can't get over 400/400.

    Just got my XT8- questions

    It's really odd because you can see that my 160Mhz backhaul is connected @ 3458.8M/3629.6M so there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to get the full 1G (and more) on the node. We need someone from Asus to chime in on this. This is their flagship AiMesh setup- I'd be more than happy to...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Is this the place where we can make feature requests/suggestions? I just bought the Zenwifi xt8 and am still fooling around with it: I have Gigabit internet (as I'm sure many others do)- could the ability be added on the router to make one of the standard 1G LAN ports WAN and make the 2.5G WAN...

    Just got my XT8- questions

    What am I looking for exactly in the log? The node isn't listed in the network map. I changed my backhaul (5GHz-2) to 160Mhz only (live in the US) so that shouldn't be an issue. Stations List ---------------------------------------- idx MAC Associated...

    Just got my XT8- questions

    I'm talking about even when the router and node are right next to each other and I run a speedtest from my PC wired to the node I only score ~400/400 on my Gigabit connection.
