    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24710 (V1: 2025/04/29 & V2: 2025/05/05)

    I have been using the XT8 V1 as a standalone router, plus 2 more XT8 V1 units in a mesh system now for about 6 weeks and it has been stable for me. Of note I only use the default settings, and none of the extra features such as Airprotection, Parental controls etc, other than I have manually...

    Release XT8 3.0.0.4.388_24688 just released (2024/11/28)

    I can confirm that after deselecting DFS channels and applying this preference , this version of the firmware (on my router) "Does Not" turn off the DFS channels

    Release XT8 3.0.0.4.388_24688 just released (2024/11/28)

    I am able to deselect the DFS option, but have not applied the selection as I dont want to reboot my system right now. Next time I need a reboot I will try to see if it will apply the choice.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24684

    I have updated the main router and all the nodes simultaneously either via the app or from the router settings on the web address. Then you wait and hope it worked for all (on one occasion in the past it did not, and I had to manual upgrade the firmware to each node after downloading the...

    Release XT8 3.0.0.4.388_24688 just released (2024/11/28)

    This has (as have the last two previous updates ) been very stable even when doing a dirty upgrade (I did not reset the router and all its nodes after each update), which is something that was mandatory to get all the previous updates working well. Also of note the number of comments after each...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24684

    I can't remember which update it was but this has happened to me in the past where only the primary router and not the nodes were updated, so I manually upgraded the firmware on each of the nodes (ethernet cable from computer to node) and since then the updates have occurred across all the devices.

    ASUS Zen WiFi AX XT8 fails to update firmware but still functions

    Thanks for the feedback. Good to know that the Mac firmware restoration can work if the auto or Web based doesn't. Out of curiosity did this fix the ability to add either unit as a node? If so suggests the new firmware is incompatible with the old as a router/node combo. Also worth remembering🙄

    ASUS Zen WiFi AX XT8 fails to update firmware but still functions

    Unfortunately I have not seen that issue before, but I found a reddit thread with a similar problem () but unfortunately no solution. Have you tried to go back to an older firmware on the RT-AX95Q unit, then do a hard reset and hopefully it will show up as a node? Don't really have any other...

    ASUS Zen WiFi AX XT8 fails to update firmware but still functions

    None that I have identified. Following a hard reset I start with the app and follow the instructions in the app. Sometimes the app says it fails so I do another hard reset and try again and for some reason it now works. The node can be even more problematic, app says it can't add the node, so I...

    ASUS Zen WiFi AX XT8 fails to update firmware but still functions

    Also as an aside, unlike some past firmware iterations, this has been stable for me for well over a month, and I suspect others who have upgraded,based on the minimal number of comments on this firmware compared to its predecessors. But in my experience, using new firmware without going thru the...

    ASUS Zen WiFi AX XT8 fails to update firmware but still functions

    As Bennor has linked above. I do this for each device.Then using only one device plugged in and powered on (that will become the router) you start from scratch (new name, password, wifi network name, etc using the app or web gui). Once that is up and running (unfortunately rarely happens the...

    ASUS Zen WiFi AX XT8 fails to update firmware but still functions

    If you haven't tried already, I have found that doing a factory reset of both router and node, and setting up the network again has fixed multiple issues I have encountered. Just remember to use the exact same network name and password on the new setup as you used on the old or your going to...
