    AiMesh Specify Node to Connect for Backhaul?

    With XT8s has anyone found a way to specify which node I want an AP to connect to for Backhaul? I only have one node using Wireless backhaul and it keeps flipping between 2 other nodes (it's mid-way between two nodes and a floor above for full coverage). Is there any way that I can lock it to...

    Query about ZenWiFi AX

    Yes. You just place them in AP Mode. Just make sure your existing router has good throughput. When I was finally able to get Fiber at 1Gbit I found a number of routers that I tried (Orbi, Eero, Ubiquiti, etc.) all had problems even when wired of not slicing between 30% - 50% of my speed in...

    Asus XT8 Major WiFi Issues

    Thank Trbo. I'm not having any speed issues, just the WiFi network totally dropping out. The speed issues were with the Eeros and that was fixed by putting in the XT8s

    Asus XT8 Major WiFi Issues

    The configuration I posted above notes that the Router IS directly connected to the Fiber ONT with an ethernet cable, there is no "modem" in the loop. Also, as noted above, all XT8s are in AiMesh mode. I'm not sure what else there is to take out of the equation and still have my network operate.

    Asus XT8 Major WiFi Issues

    It is a WiFi issue since it is ONLY the WiFi that goes down. All wired equipment remains operational. In addition, hosts connected to Router AP also lose their connection, which wouldn't be possible if it were a switch issue. As a side note, the switch is not managed, it is an unmanaged 10GB...

    Block wifi by IP range?

    ColinTaylor is correct. You set the filter at the top and then you can specify the IPs that you want to shut down by setting it to Blacklist and entering the IPs in the table below in a CIDR notation.. just make the destination 0.0.0.0/0

    Who is logging in? Perhaps someone has an idea

    Ah.. Sorry, didn't see the full description of the routing. I would definitely try to setup Wireshark locally and look for traffic that is headed for 192.168.0.1 on your local network. If you are seeing it fairly constantly, then you should have to capture for long with Wireshark to find the...

    Question Does the main PC need antennas?

    Make sure that you don't have wifi-sharing turned on. If you aren't broadcasting, then there should be no interference from the local WiFi card. If you're already hard-wired then I don't see an an issue with Keith's suggestion above to disable the local wifi card to make sure.

    Who is logging in? Perhaps someone has an idea

    You could try running a network scanner (there are a lot of them out there) to see if there is actually a device with the 192.168.0.100 address that is physically on your network before you start looking for external intrusions. Usually scanners will report device manufacturer, MAC, and any...

    Asus XT8 Major WiFi Issues

    So this is my last ditch effort before I use AMEX to file an insurance claim on defective equipment. ASUS support has been dragging out my case since July and keeps asking for me to submit the same information over and over and now they are claiming it is a hardware issue and I have to pay to...
