    Is it possible to set host name for a ZenWifi satellite node?

    Pretty sure you can't rename, I've not seen any setting to allow this anyway

    ASUS ZenWifi AX XT8 Setup

    Is there a way to export the client names so that a new firmware update and then reset won't delete everything as I've changed mine to friendly names so i know what they are

    ASUS ZenWifi AX XT8 with Sky Ultrafast plus fibre in UK

    when I posted this originally I was using the sky router with voip and the XT8 was in AP mode. I tried changing to router mode but with double nat you couldn't access recordings on the Sky Go app I've since removed the Sky router and the XT8 connects to the ONT and provides dhcp with a single...

    ASUS ZenWifi AX XT8 with Sky Ultrafast plus fibre in UK

    Hi Prindi I've since removed the Sky router and use the Asus XT8 as the only network. The main Sky Q box is connected via ethernet and picks up an ip address from XT8 dhcp. The Sky Q mini boxes can't connect to the XT8 ssid directly so you have to connect using WPS on the main SkyQ box and they...

    The Asus ZenWiFi AX XT8 is a POS, right?

    i had 2 units at first and bought another as I thought I needed it (my old mesh had 4 discs). I was running the latest firmware and every 4-6 hours the wireless connection between them would drop from great to weak and any device on the remote nodes would have poor or no internet. The only way...

    The Asus ZenWiFi AX XT8 is a POS, right?

    The latest 43181 firmware for me was awful and I’ve had no issues on 42095

    How to FORCE ZenWiFi AX (XT8) to use dedicated 5ghz-2 band vs normal 5ghz one?

    I had the same issue until I searched on here and downgraded the firmware to the 42095 release. You’ll need to also then factory reset once you’ve downgraded but mine haven’t dropped once since

    The Asus ZenWiFi AX XT8 is a POS, right?

    I felt the same and was getting node reboots and device issues so I'd requested a return from Amazon but then came across this forum and post after post saying the latest firmware was the issue. Since I downgraded to the 42095 firmware mine have been rock soli Are you still on the latest firmware?

    ASUS ZenWifi AX XT8 with Sky Ultrafast plus fibre in UK

    Morning all Does anyone here have the XT8 in router mode when connected to the Sky router SR203 (need this still for voip)? I've left the Sky Q main device and the mini devices connected to the Sky ssid (they get 192.168.0.x) and all other devices connect to the XT8 (192.168.50.x) but this...

    ASUS ZenWifi AX XT8 Setup

    Unfortunately the correct info on what’s needed to be configured isn’t provided by Sky so it’s just what you can learn from forums like these from people that have managed to get it working. I did have a quick go last week but couldn’t get it right

    ASUS ZenWifi AX XT8 Setup

    so the only issue with that is there's an app called Sky Go which can't access the main sky receiver when it's double nat'd so you can't access the recordings to download to the app. not a big deal but need to sort out port forwarding rules before i change over to router mode on the xt8
