Our Internet connection is much faster, and the connection/throughput to devices drops significantly with an 80MHz backhaul... that's why I bought the XT8s instead of going with a previous model.

Don't live anywhere near an airport, the weather was mild and dry, we (and our neighbours) have no cordless phones, and we weren't operating the microwave at 2.45 in the morning.

Because...?

What's your explanation for this, if there is a strong signal, no interference, good/stable weather and no DFS events? If it's still "problematic" then the problem is with the firmware.

After 2½ days, in the middle of the night and for no apparent reason, the wireless backhaul fell back to the 2.4GHz band. I'm examining settings now. I notice that the 'control channel' for the 5GHz-2 band can only be set to 'auto' on this firmware, if 160MHz-only is selected.

Again, I agree, and I generally do the same. However, I reset when the version I came from gave problems - especially if several versions in a row report problems (as in this case) - or if I experience problems in the new version which other users don't.

Totally agree, and if you upgrade and everything is fine - especially if upgrading from a version that works fine - then I often do the same. But if upgrading from a series of versions that had problems, or if experiencing problems after an upgrade, then the only way to properly evaluate the...

Indeed, if I am not having any problems with a particular firmware version, I'll update to a new version over the previous. But with all the problems of the previous version of this firmware, I upgraded then factory-reset as you did, and I've now run for almost 48 hours without problems...

That's my point, you've upgraded on top of the previous version's default settings, so your new version is running with the old defaults (including things you may not be able to set via the GUI). But when you do a 'factory reset' after upgrading to a new version, you get all the new default...

So after the upgrade to this firmware version, you performed a factory reset, then applied these changes?

I've been running more than a day without a single fall-back, and I'm running a dedicated 160MHz backhaul. Obviously our situations can be different - I don't live near an airport and/or weather-station, and the weather is currently dry - but did you do a factory-reset after the upgrade? If you...

Respectfully, before you do that, I recommend installing this new firmware on all nodes, then doing a factory-reset, and manually re-initialise, changing the minimum amount of backhaul settings that you have to for your situation. This gives you the chance to fully test the new firmware on its...

Yes, stable for me, too, although it usually takes 2 or 3 days to tell if the wireless backhaul remains stable. But so far so good.

Updated my two XT8s (AiMesh with wireless backhaul), did a factory reset and manually re-initialised everything, and so far everything seems fine. I'll report back if I encounter any problems.

Not showing up on the ASUS download page ... where can it be found?
