After almost a year there is a firmware update for ET8. ASUS ET8 Firmware 388_23759 https://www.asus.com/us/supportonly/zenwifi%20et8/helpdesk_bios/ New features: 1.Plug, Share & Surf: Turn Your ET8 into a 4G/5G Hotspot. Unleash the power of 4G and 5G connectivity without the need for a new...

I purchased my AX92u (2 units) shortly after they first came out many years ago. I still use 1 as a node in AI Mesh. I've never had the issues you described.

I'd be curious to see if your set up worked. Let me know once you get your AX11000. Given the AX1100 and XT8 all just have one 2.5 Gbps wan port, I don't know if connecting into a switch would work. Asus provides the following diagram...

OK, this is good information. If the asus speedtest page, states you're getting 650/900 Mbps, then we know it's an issue with the wifi setup. The first thing I'd suggest is to isolate the problem. 1. If you have 3 XT8 units, turn off all units. Power the unit connected to the modem on...

You should be able to get up to 1Gbps download speeds on S22 and Iphone 14, from the XT8. You don't provide a lot of specific information, so I will give you some possibilities. By 650/900 Mbps do you mean that you have 650 Mbps download and 900 Mbps upload speed? First, you don't tell us...

I agree with Merlin, if you have a choice of AX86u or AX86s those may be better alternatives. But if you can't get those in India, I did notice Amazon India has a renewed AX11000 (30,000) for just a little bit more than the AX88u (27,500). For the extra money, the renewed AX11000 is a deal...

Just as an FYI, AX92u does not have Merlin Support. So if Merlin is a must, you won't want to pick the AX92u. I've been using the AX92u for many years and it's by far one of the best routers I've had. Unlike routers that look like bugs, the AX92u can be run with antennas down. So, you can...

I made a correction on my previous post - it's Traffic Analyzer that needs to be off -- not traffic monitor. I believe both the AX92u and AC86u have the same Broadcom BCM 4906, 1.8 GHz processor. If I run internal test with those on, my speeds are around 300-400 mbps off. Are you running open...

I usually run internal speed test after a firmware update - or if I'm trying to trouble shoot a slow connection. My ax92u gives me accurate results if I turn off traffic analyzer, AI protect and qos. Also, some of the servers in Denver do not consistently get 1gbps. The Comcast server in...

With aiprotection in you will see a small drop in bandwidth. However it isn't the 400+ drop shown by the internal speed test. As previously mentioned, the internal speed test isn't accurate when running traffic monitor and ai protect.

You can find firmware for ET8 on webpage. https://www.asus.com/us/Networking-IoT-Servers/Whole-Home-Mesh-WiFi-System/ZenWiFi-WiFi-Systems/ASUS-ZenWiFi-ET8/HelpDesk_BIOS/ It's under Drivers/Tools, then Bios/Firmware, then See All Downloads. You can download the firmware then manually update it.

True, you work on your clients. And if you're client gets adequate download speeds, you may never notice the speed at the router. As you note, a client doesn't measure the speed at the router. It measures its speed at its interface with the network. If you pay for 1gbps internet service and...

After you run the test, you can turn the features back on. The internal speed test will not give you an accurate reading if you run it with QOS, Traffic Analyzer and AI protection on. The test only takes a few seconds to run and it only takes a few seconds to turn the features on and off.

To get accurate information from the internal speed test, you need to turn off Traffic Analyzer, QOS and AI protect. If you turn those off, you can run speed test and it will be accurate. If you have those on, it won't give you an accurate read.

I like Breaking Dad's solution. If you have multiple Xbox's they will try to use the same port. If they do use the same port you may have lag and drop issues. You can test if this by connecting just one xbox. If you don't have lag or drop issues with just one xbox, then it's likely the other...
