    ASUS XT8 issues

    That’s probably the best advice I have received throughout this whole ordeal….and I’m gonna try to for sure. The problem is once I have something in my head it’s hard to get it to leave.

    ASUS XT8 issues

    Well…. I have somewhat of an update. Hired an IT professional to come out and check out my setup and he also brought some equipment with him, Zyxel brand. First he checked speeds on my system and logged in and inspected settings. He found it weird that I get such a high upload speed with such a...

    ASUS XT8 issues

    I’m not disagreeing with you, but hear me out. I went from a subdivision with neighbors within 70-80’ on each side and directly across the street to a place with no visible neighbors. Day 1 when WiFi was installed there was only 1 unit and 320 was as fast as it tested….that’s with no one here...

    It’s wireless backhaul…always has been, which is what made a mesh system desirable for me….i lived in an older house that wasn’t wired for Ethernet and my new house which was built in 2000 isn’t either unfortunately and 4000sf on 3 levels

    ASUS XT8 issues

    My laptop hooked up directly gets 525ish and I’ve tested it several times throughout the day and it’s always around the same. Your probably right about the 100mbps being enough but the problem is in my brain now and I can’t make it go away lol. Would this switch be ok ...

    ASUS XT8 issues

    I have tested both ways and when I called them last week for advise the rep told me that even on their 1gb service with their supplied router that customers will get 3-350 download as the router is capped there. She then went to tell me that my router was what was capping my speed until I...

    ASUS XT8 issues

    Everyone out of ideas ? ASUS support is useless, my ISP sells a router that isn’t as fast. I was going to buy a 2nd hand xt12 and try it as a router but thinking about just switching to a different brand.

    ASUS XT8 issues

    Today I brought home my last node from the old house that has the old firmware. I didn’t update and I set it up a router here and it did not change the speed….im at a loss at this point. It makes zero sense. It tested faster at the old house on a slower connection.

    ASUS XT8 issues

    So tonight in my ongoing efforts to try and figure this out I switched one of my nodes to the main router and vise versa ….still the same…I was thinking maybe there was something wrong internally with that particular device. No luck…same results. I did swing by my other house where I still have...
