    Release ASUS ZenWIFI XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24621

    Updated the node first then the main. So far so good running hw v1. I’ll keep my fingers crossed…

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.24609

    I'm getting 1-3 daily drops on a TV and blink camera using V1 FW 24609. Back to FW 23285 for me.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.24609

    Just updated and noticed that auto firmware upgrade and security upgrade were set to on. I wonder what other settings may now be enabled that I had off previously?

    Release ASUS TUF-AX5400 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24121

    This feature is gone from my xt8’s as well. But the 4tb hard drive I have attached to it is going to sleep as desired.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    Since I first reported on February 24, 22525 has been delightfully stable for me. Like Smokey613 above, I am also using channel 173.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    Firmware 22525 has been rock solid for me with two units using wireless backhaul. Since Asus started rolling out independent firmware updates for v1 and v2 hardware, the XT8s have been functioning much better. I hope it stays that way...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21099 (2022/10/03 )

    I have two XT8's running firmware 21099. The wireless node went down today and thought it was bricked. Damn thing wouldn't connect after a factory reset. Had to unearth the stuff around the main unit to access it for a factory reset, then reset the node again and was able to get up and running...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.48706 (2022/05/03)

    Been a long time since I posted. I had basically given up on ASUS since no firmware going back a year resolved the constant drops with two XT8s on a basic wireless backhaul setup. But I'm happy to report 48706 has resolved those problems and has been shockingly stable, even with my IoT devices...

    Release Asus ZenWiFi XT8 - New Firmware: 3.0.0.4.386_45879 (2021-09-29)

    I took the plunge and 45879 seems to have resolved frequent drops on some older devices. Also on the positive side, our main Roku player has not experienced any lag/buffering as it did under 43181. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but looks to be a huge improvement for me.

    Release Asus XT8 - 3.0.0.4.386.43181 - 2021/06/17

    I'm not holding my breath. Look at all the recent reviews on Amazon and the vast majority are very unhappy. I'm sure these units are getting returned almost as fast as people are buying them, yet no fix despite the logs we sent and the returns they are getting. Here's some recent comments, all...

    Release Asus XT8 - 3.0.0.4.386.43181 - 2021/06/17

    I have the two pack and did a full factory reset on prior firmware versions to this release without success. Rolling back to a prior stable firmware release also required factory resets in some cases. Interesting. So you're saying only if you made the +1 device the router, and the two pack...

    Release Asus XT8 - 3.0.0.4.386.43181 - 2021/06/17

    What are your ISP speeds (up/down)? 150/12 actual How many devices in total are connected wirelessly? 14 max another contention point for any busy network. The 2.4 band does have some congestion, but 5 is surprisingly pretty clear. How many connections to students is the educator supporting...

    Release Asus XT8 - 3.0.0.4.386.43181 - 2021/06/17

    OK, I gave it a shot and upgraded to this firmware. Considering I haven't been able to run anything beyond 25790 firmware (September of 2020) without my node repeatedly dropping, I'm not expecting much with this new firmware either. --- Begin Rant --- I will say I'm not happy with Asus at all...

    Release Zenwifi XT8 Firmware 3.0.0.4.386_43170

    Signal strength is constant with no interference. Even the nearby microwave, when in use, has minimal impact on signal strength/quality. Regardless, the drops are firmware specific in everything post 25790 firmware as the signal strength/quality are constant even when I was using the latest...

    Release Zenwifi XT8 Firmware 3.0.0.4.386_43170
