    Zen WiFi XT8 AX

    Yah, lots of firmware resets. I find AiMesh to be the worst at moving clients around. Their mesh topology is really poor at steering clients and there is a constant refreshing of devices happening when you look at the network map from the iOS app. I also find that the units only accept a...

    Zen WiFi XT8 AX

    About a 6000 square foot home once you include the finished basement. I have main route router node in basement - no choice. Then on the main floor, I have two at opposite ends of the house floor with 3 walls in between from study to kitchen. Then, I have the other one located upstairs in the...

    Zen WiFi XT8 AX

    Wow, really regretting this purchase. Latest firmware on ALL nodes. Bought two packs of this so 4 altogether spread out in my home. The speed on this is horrible in comparison to Orbi RBK53, Nest WiFi and Orbi RBK853 AX. I tried one unit, two units, three units and all units and always the...

    ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.384.6436

    Probably the iOS app. I've noticed this issue now has been there for a few months and not addressed. Always have to reboot the router but it never lasts for more than 24 hours before suddenly Devices on the iOS app no longer shows the list of devices. Pretty sure it's the app as I've tried...

    [ROG RAPTURE GT-AX11000] Experiences & Discussion

    Anybody notice a problem with the iOS Asus Router app whereby Devices will list properly once the router is initially setup or rebooted. Then, at some point, the Devices no longer show on the iOS app unless the router is restarted. This issue appears to be related to the iOS Asus Router app as...

    ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.384.6436

    I just updated to this BIOS on my AX11000. Does anybody know if this will fix the issue with the iOS Asus Router app whereby displaying Devices suddenly stops working? This happens on various Asus router models with the iOS app. They display properly when the router is initially setup or...

    ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 (Owners)

    I just bought the Lyra Trio, updated the firmware, and set them up as Aimesh nodes on my GT-AC5300. These things are gems as these are the fastest speeds I've ever received all around the house with this setup. Previous to that, I was using the 5300 with another GT-AC5300 and/or an 86u as...

    Loaded it. Works the same as previous firmware for me so not that exciting even though I know there are improvements. Lyra supported yet? They look better than the routers Asus make - they are awful devices to look at.

    WoW, I feel your pain - not nice when things don't work. However 648 for me is rock solid. Everything is stable and I'm seeing the best speeds all over the house. One GT5300 main router and two nodes (86u and another GT5300). Wondering if I should upgrade just the 86u to the latest firmware...

    That would be swell. Does Lyra work well on its own. Never tried this mesh - only Orbi and Velop.

    ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 (Owners)

    It's a 3 floor home but the main router/5300 is in the basement - can't move it. The other 5300 is way upstairs on the 3rd floor. I had them running this way for some time and inside the house all seemed good with stable speeds everywhere. However, on the main floor and opposite corner to...

    In my case, the GT5300 is router, the 2nd GT5300 is a wired node and the one AC86u is a wired node. Would I be better off using a triband router instead of which Asus only makes the 5300's or the 3200.

    So what happens when you mix a dual band (RTAC86u) with a triband router(s) (2 x GT5300's) in Aimesh? Does this compromise the ability of the 2 5300's to use the backhaul channel because one of the pieces is dual band? Also, what would be the difference if all 3 were wired vs one being wireless?

    ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 (Owners)

    Just trying to determine if using the 2nd 5300/Aimesh node would be better under a wireless or wired connection using the Powerline adapter. And, if the Powerline adapter was not getting a wired connection or it dropped would my 5300 node go to wireless even though it set it to Ethernet and it...

    If your host name = Rolo for example - and you're connecting to your router using https:\\rolo.asuscomm.com:8443 on the previous 5300 I had, it setup (as an example) "45ashkfdfdfd45454545454300i9545" for "rolo". Surely, a dynamic changing host name would be added security as long as only the...
