    Best stable firmware for XT8

    I used to be for a long time in 42095 and even updated few times to newer version but had quite a lot of drops etc. Then finally version 21617 came and since that I've been stable than ever in 2 years. I have two XT8 and both running wired connection in access point mode. Main router is UDM Pro...

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

    Upgraded using the app from 48706 and only the main node updated for some reason. Tried few times using the app to update second node but didnt work. Even rebooting and trying to reset didnt work. I did a firmware rescue and flashed directly the latest firmware and worked. So far seems stable...

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

    I upgraded from 42095 to 48706 without any resetting and works fine. I was quite nervous about upgrading because 42095 has been the ONE which actually worked without any issues but so far this 48706 seems to be good version also. No drops or any issues past these few days. Using AP Mode and...

    Asus XT8 - AP mode issues.

    Try hard reset, firmware restoration and then hard reset again for that node and try again to pair if that works.

    Asus XT8 - AP mode issues.

    Are all XT8 nodes in the same firmware? If not then either upgrade them all to latest firmware or reset and do a firmware rescue to 42095 which is most stable firmware at least for many many people in this forum including me.

    ASUS XT8 wifi issues with latest firmware 3.0.0.4.386_45934 (AP mode)

    This is the 4th day and wifi running smoothly and best speeds I've got are +750mbps. So I'm very happy with this. I haven't changed any extra settings except below - 2,4GHz channel 3 - 5 GHz-1 channel 44 - 5GHz channel 100 and ticked out "enable 160 MHz" - enabled Ethernet Backhaul Mode

    Thought I give a quick update about my progress with wifi issues.

Then tried to enable in system settings Ethernet backhaul...

    ASUS XT8 wifi issues with latest firmware 3.0.0.4.386_45934 (AP mode)

    I'm using WAN port on the main router and at the moment not using ethernet backhaul on the node. But according to the FAQ link I have posted upper the main ap router should use LAN port and the node should use WAN port but this didn't result to a stable wifi for me. I also tried WAN port on the...
