    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24709 (2025/03/18)

    I had issues before with IoT devices that only used 2.4GHz WiFi and my ASUS routers (including the XT8) however after changing my 2.4GHz WiF settings and making a dedicated 2.4GHz guest network mainly for IoT devices (and any device that prefers 2.4GHz only) all has been working perfectly since...

    Instabilities and hangups with AIMesh

    For AiMesh, try keeping the ASUS Router on latest Asuswrt-Merlin and the ASUS Node(s) on the latest official stock firmware. I posted about the same at https://www.snbforums.com/threads/a...e-version-3-0-0-4-388_24621.89343/post-927315 and since doing this everything has been very stable the...

    Asus XT8 optimal Wi-Fi settings for stability, compatibility, and performance

    Often this is the wireless devices who make the decision to switch acordingly when it sees a stronger signal from another node in areas where the signal from both is similar or when the wireless device moves around the home. However perhaps in your case you need to adjust in the XT8 Router under...

    Asus XT8 optimal Wi-Fi settings for stability, compatibility, and performance

    I have a GT-AX11000 Pro as the Router on latest Asuswrt-Merlin (though your Router could be an XT8 or other on gnuton) while the XT8 Nodes I have are on the latest official stock firmware and this seems to be the best way after many months now. I posted about the same (having both Router and...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24684

    I am running a similar setup - but six XT8v1's (running official stock firmware) spread around as the Nodes and a GT-AX11000 Pro (running Asuswrt-Merlin) as the main Router and it performs great, no issues with the latest firmware. For example after random power outages (which happens sometimes...

    4th Time Resetting XT8 and ET8 combo to factory settings

    1 x ET8 Router + 6 x Nodes (1 x ET8 and 5 x XT8) for a 2500 square foot area is way too much - unless you have very thick walls and poor signal at far corners but even then if one checks the page for the ASUS XT8 at...

    DDNS + Namecheap + Letsencrypt (wildcard)

    Hi, I raised the same issue in this thread: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/https-ssl-certificate-issue-when-using-www-namecheap-com-in-ddns.91113/ and RMerlin responded and addressed this in 3004.388.8_2 - it takes now the Domain Name for the certificate (though no entry of Hostname+Domain...

    HTTPS/SSL Certificate issue when using WWW.NAMECHEAP.COM in DDNS

    Yes, it has been an issue for some years now. The fix you did though is good - at least the main domain name get's added now, and this is enough (better than only the host name previously) - having the host name with domain name would be even better but not necessary in my situation (perhaps...

    Thanks RMerlin! It is better now with 3004.388.8_2 - it comes as "mydomain.com" in the certificate generated I can see: IP Address 192.168.50.1 IP Address 192.168.1.1 IP Address <wan-ip> DNS Name www.asusrouter.com DNS Name mydomain.com DNS Name router.asus.com DNS Name repeater.asus.com DNS...
