For what its worth, I downgraded to 3.0.0.4.386_50350. Completely reliable in my use (1 router two nodes, wireless backhaul, used for work with V/C).

I’m not entirely sold on this firmware. The wireless connection to the nodes seems to drop out more frequently, and my teams connection via Citrix drops audio if the video is on. I found the last version of 386 firmware more stable

New firmware released

Very interesting. Because I had mixed results with the XT8 on 388, I decided to start with the newest 386 firmware deliberately and the backhaul hasn’t had a hiccup on my 3x XT12 system in very similar conditions to what you described.

Hi, how are people finding this firmware with wireless backhaul? I've just switched from the XT8, which sometimes struggled on certain firmwares with the conditions in my house (extended 1920s brick house in UK) which aren't conducive to good signal (in particular the study sits in an extension...

This didn't have a stable connection for me. I use a wireless backhaul with 2 nodes. The connection would drop after a few hours or flip to 2.4ghz. Doing a hard reset didn't change this behaviour. Went back to 48966 which does give a stable connection.

Just confirming I do not see this issue at all with my network, many MacOS, iOS, Windows and Linux devices. I have 3 XT8, wireless backhaul, and struggled with resets and dropouts on prior firmware versions. This firmware is entirely stable, better than 42095, and has remained so since...

Not seeing that at all in my use with this firmware. We have many iOS devices, all are performing flawlessly with this firmware (better than 42095). Try reinstalling the firmware and another WPS button reset on all units.

Should also say that the wireless backhaul has been flawless with this firmware. Very impressed. Strongly encourage a WPS button reset and one more power cycle once all nodes are set up.

No failures at all here. No node drops, all IoT devices stay connected. No issues at all. I have 3 XT8 units and a powerline network for Ethernet.

I'm just mindful that tech publications (e.g. Tom's hardware) report a bigger impact of both distance and solid objects (like my internal brick walls) with 6E / 6 ghz equipment compared to 6/5ghz. Of course, that could be addressed by physical changes to boost signal, but I would assume if thats...

I think that's what it comes down to - the more recent firmwares have been unstable when used with the wireless backhaul. Agree that's no issue for people with a wired backhaul, but it's a big weakness in the context of product as sold.

What puts me off the 6E routers such as the ET8 is the lack of range. I live in the UK, and older houses such as my own have thick internal walls which aren't Wi-Fi or mesh friendly. We have a smaller house by US standards (nowhere near 6000 square feet), but I need three units to achieve solid...

To be honest, when I've downgraded I've not done a hard reset unless the system became erratic. At the moment (touch wood) everything works and the backhaul is holding up. This is all a bit of a pity. I really believe in the hardware, love the no cost family settings for kids and for my use it...

I had a pretty stable set up with 45898, but upgraded to 45934, which worked well for a week then began suffering backhaul drops to 2.4ghz. I do think ASUS could could do better here, but there are an awful lot of people who admit defeat on the first restart after upgrade
