    was not aware of this, thank you

    Release [FORK][DSL] GNUton's Merlin builds for DSL Router 386.1_2 released.

    Just curious if anyone has tested this on the XT8 yet, and if so, how it went? I'd like to move away from 42095 from asus lol. I'm ok with doing some testing but I do need decent stability, two users here working from home now. Edit: for the XT8, do we use the firmware labeled RT-AX95Q? I...

    Question: worth it just for access points?

    It already handles routing, firewalls can route. It does all intervlan traffic, so i get the granularity of firewall rules instead of dealing with ACL's on my L3 switch. Easier to manage. Nice! Much more power efficient than mine lmao. Those Intel i350-T4 are hard to beat, i have several...

    Question: worth it just for access points?

    Indeed. In fact, the verizon router, when I was using it, gave decent signal from all the way in the basement... while I was on the top floor. They do go pretty far. Part of the reason I'm looking at options is that.. honestly, the way this house is built (wall layout in particular) and with...

    Question: worth it just for access points?

    Alright, I was looking at some TP-Link's but.. unsure about that, I'll keep looking around. Definitely already have the rest of my network healthily over-engineered. See my signature lol. Firewall has a quad core xeon and 16GB RAM :D and I'm in the process of running a port channel (only 2x...

    Question: worth it just for access points?

    Not even with Merlin eh? damn. well, there goes that plan I suppose.

    Question: worth it just for access points?

    oh, well.. I work with enterprise gear for a living, but I don't want that cloud licensing BS. and don't like anything from ubiquiti. SSID mapping to VLAN's (don't know what that's actually called, haven't worked with that yet), being able to ingest data for monitoring via SNMP would be nice for...

    Question: worth it just for access points?

    I'm currently running two XT8's for WiFi and the lack of stable firmware from ASUS above 42095 is pretty annoying, especially given the cost of those devices. Does anyone think it's better to run a couple of AX routers flashed to Merlin, just as wireless access points? I'm really considering...

    Best AiMesh configuration

    Doesn't setting the wired backhaul up negate AiMesh though? I thought AiMesh was just wireless. I'm new to ASUS and still learning their stuff (for example, should have bought other things than the XT8 for merlin support...)

    Asus zenwifi xt8 dual wan question

    Maybe. it would depend on the rest of your network being able to support those speeds. I'm unsure if the XT8 supports lagg, so that's a thing to look into. But you'd need to make sure that you have 1.5 Gbps capability, or more, on all network devices until you reach the client devices.

    Asus zenwifi xt8 dual wan question

    1. I don't think so, unless your speedtest uses multiple flows to test speed. maybe? 2. not without some fancy routing, that I'm pretty sure wouldn't be available on the XT8 (without merlin, which we don't have on our XT8's)

    AIMesh not available if no internet connection possible

    What do you mean that your local network was completely unavailable? Are there local resources that you have on your local network that are unavailable? What types of devices are you seeing this issue on?

    Speed discrepancy in XT8

    This kind of sounds like a duplex issue. Are you using a usb nic, or does your laptop have a built in ethernet port? Do you know what ethernet chip it is? Also, make sure your cable is a cat5e at minimum to get gigabit speeds. cat5 cable isn't rated/certified for speeds past 100mbps.. Have you...

    ASUS-ZenWiFi-AX-XT8 source code

    Wow, thanks! Still finding my way around here, appreciate it.

    I was also wondering if this is available, bump for visibility
