    ZenWiFi AX XT8 - Have I made a mistake?

    Am now about week and a half in and everything still working great. Issue with wires work laptop is a driver issue specifically called out in an Asus KB article, now as JagoUK said, need to get her IT dept to install it. Thanks all to everyone who commented, so far I have no regrets.

    ZenWiFi AX XT8 - Have I made a mistake?

    A few days in and everything working ok. No backhaul issues so far. The only oddity I have come across is my wife's work laptop. For some reason it just does not see the wifi networks from the XT8. Every single other device in the house just automatically connected to the relevant SSID apart...

    ZenWiFi AX XT8 - Have I made a mistake?

    I'm wireless backhaul and so far so good though it has only been just under 24hrs. The connection status for the backhaul is showing 'Great'. Everything is pretty much as it came out of the box, I'm no expert so my tinkering is pretty much limited to configuring 2.5 and 5 to separate SSIDs...

    ZenWiFi AX XT8 - Have I made a mistake?

    Thank you everyone for your thoughts and opinions. I guess at the end of the day all I can do is try out in my environment and see how I get on. Because of Christmas I have a generous return window so that will help. I'll report back as to how I get on. Thanks again.

    ZenWiFi AX XT8 - Have I made a mistake?

    Interested to know the reasons why please? Problem with those others is the looks. My wife isn't going to have one of those in the hall where the satellite needs to be! :-(

    ZenWiFi AX XT8 - Have I made a mistake?

    I have just ordered the XT8 based on the reviews I read. I wanted a mesh wifi but also wanted to separate out the 2.5 and 5 ghz networks which the XT8 allows me to do. However, here I am reading lots of comments from people having problems with this router but they are issues I do not really...

    R7800 - Attached Devices not showing Bandwidth Utilisation

    When I enabled Dynamic QoS I noticed that the Attached Devices display changes to show Internet Download and Internet Upload bandwidth. You also get an option to 'Display bandwidth for the top five applications' The problem is I don't get any information displayed, all attached devices show...

    R7800 Configuration

    Many thanks, so its worth enabling Dynamic QoS? I've come across some post saying QoS should be disabled! Also how does enabling the 'Video Network' feature compare with Dynamic QoS? What's the difference? Sorry for all the questions just trying to get my head around these features :-)

    R7800 Configuration

    My D6300 was driving me nuts as it was forever dropping/crashing the connection to the fibre modem. Had seen the R7800 but was concerned about the apparent problem with Apple devices that some people were having. But Thursday after yet another drop in connection I noticed Amazon were doing the...
