    Interrupted connections on ZenWiFi AX (XT8)

    I’ve been on 388.22525 for several months now and it’s rock solid including IoT. - 2 x XT8 v1 - 1 x AX92U All connected via Ethernet backhaul (MoCA)

    XT8 Packet Loss / Ping spikes

    My remote Xt8 has started to exhibit this behaviour in the past week, on f/w 46061. (I have two XT8, connected via MoCA, and with an AX92U also in AI Mesh2.0). Up until this point, it was quite stable, but now I am experiencing packet loss throughout the work day, including full outages of up...

    Interrupted connections on ZenWiFi AX (XT8)

    Agreed, but it is the wireless backhaul vs. wired that causes the issues. I had a super strong wireless backhaul set up — could get 400-500 Mbps which saturates my Internet connection — and would get MS Teams drop outs even if no other traffic was running in the house. Since moving to wired...

    Interrupted connections on ZenWiFi AX (XT8)

    Reporting back on this issue by replying to myself. I have good news / bad news. I got 46061 to be stable, even with MS Teams. However, I did it by giving up on using the key feature for which I purchased the XT8’s -- the dedicated WiFi6 backhaul (5Ghz-2). I had been looking into MoCA...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.46061 (2022/01/14)

    I experienced the same issue with MS Teams dropping out. For me, it is only in one "direction" -- I cannot hear/see anyone, but everyone can still hear / see me. (Must be UDP data streams). I am pretty sure the issue lies with the wifi backhaul link (5GHz-2) between the XT8 in my office and the...

    Interrupted connections on ZenWiFi AX (XT8)

    THANK YOU! Heading over there now to check it out. My downgrade of just the satellite to 42095, which made it fail less, but still cut out for 2-3s a few times an hour. Went back to 42095 on the main / base station XT8, and it has been rock solid (again) since. Will try the beta and report back!

    Interrupted connections on ZenWiFi AX (XT8)

    tl;DR -- don't upgrade, 46061 is still busted. I upgraded to 46061 this past weekend. Reset both of my XT8s to factory defaults via WPS reset after the upgrade, and my RX92U -- all linked with AI Mesh. Rebuilt my entire config from scratch. Unfortunately, the dreaded "one way" drop-out on MS...

    Release Asus ZenWiFi XT8 - New Firmware: 3.0.0.4.386_45934

    Maybe good to share the pathways that lead to VoIP etc challenges. For me: Laptop -> ethernet -> XT8 satellite -> 5 Ghz-2 wireless backhaul -> XT8 router -> ethernet -> Firewalla Gold -> Cable Modem bridged -> Internet My wife connects direct to the XT8 router and has not experienced the same...

    Release Asus ZenWiFi XT8 - New Firmware: 3.0.0.4.386_45934

    Count me in as another sad Asus customer who tried to upgrade to 45934 and had to roll back to good ol' 42905. I had hoped they would have worked out the issues in the various releases over the last 6 months, but unfortunately they have not. I have 2 x XT8 and a RT-AZ92U in a full mesh using...

    Interrupted connections on ZenWiFi AX (XT8)

    @Terribl3 -- are you using just one router, or the mesh? And if the latter, is the issue with devices on the satellite / remote device? I had tonnes of issues with 5-20s timeouts (receive only, base -> satellite) on firmware 43170, and finally rolled back to 42095 instead. I have not tried...

    ASUS ZenWiFi AX XT8 - 5Ghz-2 Backhaul

    Just to share -- I kept experiencing timeouts between my XT8 satellite and base station on 43170. Multiple times per day, I would stop receiving any data, but still kept transmitting: if I was on a video call, people could still see and hear me, but I could not see or hear them. Lasted 5-10s...

    Issues adding RT-AX92U as mesh node to ZenWifi XT8

    I have this exact configuration working. Set it up back around firmware 26044 (definitely pre-AiMesh 2.0). I experienced the same challenges you did at first, although my AX92U was easily 30 feet away from the main XT8 router. Didn't do any magic other that a few hard resets of the AX92U, and...
