    Zenwifi XT8 - New software version 3.0.0.4.386_26044

    Agree. I have updated as well and so far no issue when keeping the same setup. If anything I got slightly faster 5Ghz speeds and slower 2.4Ghz speeds.

    Help : Asus ZenWifi XT8 not working in Access Point

    Yes, full reset before each time. Main router up to date. FWIW, if I connect to the Asus ZenWifi (in AP mode) with an ethernet cable, I get my full 900Mbps speed consistently, so it is a wireless issue triggered by the AP mode, but not an AP mode issue per se. Some wireless parameter that should...

    Help : Asus ZenWifi XT8 not working in Access Point

    The standard ASUS App setup does not specify which mode and by default sets it in Router Mode. You then need to change it to Access Point. However, I have just tried a fourth time by setting it up directly in AP mode via my PC without setting it in Router Mode first, and the exact same problem...

I...

    RT-AC68U hostname conflict

    After a chat with Raw316 from Asus who was not convinced the beta was a solution, I went the Merlin route. Installed 380.58 and defined a static DHCP lease setting the Hostname as 'SamsungTV' on the router GUI. Worked beautifully (strange how Asus native firmware let's you edit the Hostname too...

    RT-AC68U hostname conflict

    I have the exact same problem, with the added inconvenience that my whole home internet access breaks down after I start streaming using the Samsung TV. I need to reboot my ASUS RT-AC68W each time to get the internet back. Should I move to Merlin or try with an earlier version of the ASUS...
