    Anyone add an XT-9 to an existing XT-8 Ai Mesh?

    Personally i would put the xt9 as the main router. I think it has slightly better cpu and as the main router probably does the most work makes sense to have your best device doing that job. I dont think much else is different and as for the backhaul radio you will have to match settings or...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    I always select my channel. But i did leave it on 20/40/80/160. The nodes just failed to connect over 5g-2 despite that being set as preferred. Are you saying if i just had 160 set it would of worked? I am a bit wary of messing about. I find the more i change things the less stable it all...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    Running this but still have to set 5G-2 to 80Mhz or get problems (Nodes staying on 2G or just poor latency) I havent been able to use 160Mhz since a 386 something firmware from early last year. I have even tried full wipe and start again on a number of firmwares. Its not to much of an issue to...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    I upgraded to this last night and so far so good. I came from the previous version which after a factory reset was stable and fast for me. I was at about 45 days of uptime without any issues. Thats probably the longest i have ever gone without tinkering anything on the XT8s. I probably...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22068

    There is no obvious pattern as this version for me is stable and fast and I am hardware v1. 4 XT8s wireless backhaul. I did initally have issues with nodes not connecting but dropped my 5G-2 to 80Mhz from 160Mhz and its been solid since. I have gig internet and can achieve 700-800 whilst...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22068

    It's so odd how people have different behaviour. The last time I had a stable system was a 386 firmware from May. But this one for me seems stable now and good speeds. I did factory reset and i also disabled 160mhz on the 5g-2 band. (Prior to this I had one node that kept dropping to 2.4g) I...

    I still dont see this listed on the website. But I was prompted to install via the App and so far (24 Hours) it seems to be working well.

    ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21617 (2022/11/21)

    I think most vendors will have similar issues. Especially with something like a highly capable router the possible scenarios are pretty much limitless so hard to test everything. On a side note my zappi car charger. Had a firmware update which stopped the only using excess solar for charging...

    ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21617 (2022/11/21)

    I notice there is a new firmware out not on site yet but I was notified of it via app. All installed and so far so good. 3.0.0.4.388.22068 I have had lots of various problems though the last few firmwares so lets see over a week long period.
