So I have 2 Ax88Us, one in router mode, one an AiMesh node with wired backhaul. I thought that was all I'd need. However, we had reception problems in one room so added a cheap XD4 node to fill in. All works but I've noticed the XD4 is still on 386 firmware from last July. Anyone here know if...

Insightful. Thanks.

OK, so let's try your approach for the moment. Core problem is mDNS packets stop propagating around the mesh after a period of time meaning devices eventually cannot find each other. It is reported widely here and elsewhere. Reboot will fix for a while, sometimes days. Scheduled reboots do not...

Just not helpful. But thanks for reading!

Scheduled reboot is at 4am. I noticed at 9am the Zen node was still connected to the main router with a "weak" connection. One press of the optimisation button and it was fixed. Evidence suggests the router was the first box to come back after the reboot, the Zen connected to it as the only...

So, this shouldn't really be a problem but it is and I'm looking for a workaround! I have 2 AX88s with wired backhaul and one Zen Mini with 5Ghz backhaul (no wired internet available) pushing WiFi into one room the other 2 only marginally reach. The Zen is significantly closer to the secondary...

I have one XD4 doing great work pushing AX into the far corner of our house with wireless backhaul to an RT-AX88U, itself using wired backhaul to another AX88U. It seems to do it's job perfectly. My only comment would be the small box clearly limits the capability of the antenna. Compared to...

Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll leave it off until some firmware update suggests it's been substantially improved and then give it another whirl!

Is anyone else seeing the above? I have two RT-AX88U boxes, on latest Asus firmware, in AiMesh mode, with wired backhaul. Mostly default settings are being used. Smart Connect is using all defaults. All works perfectly with Smart Connect off but when turned on: 1. Service discovery is really...

Thanks for the replies. So I've been trying to get to the bottom of this all day and still haven't found anything definitive online about how Windows 11 (and latter versions of Windows 10) discovers the local network, now homegroups and master browsers are not used for domain-free networks...

Hi, I have 2 RT-AX88U's in an AIMesh with wired backhaul. They are on the latest (I believe) 3.0.0.4.388_20558 firmware. I'm having problems where Windows 11 PCs can no longer find each other by network name (e.g. for file sharing) when on a mix of ethernet and Wifi. Connecting by IP address...

What version are you on? Been on 380.64_2 for a long time now and the 5Ghz radio no longer crashes.

If you haven't enabled aiProtection then it's probably something else for you. Traffic Analysis has also been suspected. But for those who think aiProtection may be the cause, it's worth going to "alert preferences" and unticking all options, even if you do not have an email address configured...

12 days uptime since I unticked all AIprotection email alerts. Has anyone else tried this?

I have also been chasing this issue on my 87u for some time. Right now, following a post from one other guy on here, I think, I am wondering if it could be caused by AI Protection's alert preferences. By default it is set to send emails for vulnerability protection and infected device events...
