Have anyone tested with the latest GNUton firmwares? Still the same issue? I have been time constrain for a long time, and I 'm trying to free myself to do some further testing

Not sure, the hardware is the same, but I'm suspicious that they have solved many of the core issues most users have been finding in the forums. Kind of funny for me, because 99.99% of the reviews I read back in the day, only focused on the most stupid aspects of the device: which was the...

Which HW version for your XT8? I assume 1.0 for all given you have been using for years.

I've contacted the ASUS Support and they seem to be escalating the issue Today I have discovered that there is a HW Ver 1.0 and 2.0 for XT8. I wonder if they solved the issue with HW 2.0 (released on november 2022 AFAIK) Looks really weird and probably 99% of the issues being reported in this...

I'm connected to that router with my smartphone exclusively, and it doesn't matter if I ping the router itself or Google.com. Same spikes with same patterns. I have 4 XT8 I've tested with 1 XT8 with Gnuton's firmware and another XT8 with the regular firmware, and same behaviour for the two. It...

After spending a good whole morning with the device, I'm not 100% confident yet, but I've found a possible culprit the 5Ghz-2 antenna. In fact, when I switched to the second router, the 5Ghz-2 wasn't working at all even if I activate it (in one router, it worked, but in the second it didnt)...

PART 2 I've downgraded the whole device to the 5Ghz bare minimums. No AX, 20Mhz BW and no-nothing. The only Thing I can't disable is the WMM becuase there is no Disable option And still, I'm getting those spikes. At this point I can't barely thing on any solutions. It's time to raise an...

I'm going to restart from scratch with these routers because they are driving me nuts 1. Ok, I'm going 100% 20Mhz, I won't care about speed. I only care about stability, almost near the router (1 meter away) 2&3. Fixed channel, did a Wifi scan, 116-120-124-128Hz seems to be free so I'm setting...

I currently have 4 ZenWifi XT8 with Gnuton's firmware. Technically it's completely irrelevant that I use Gnuton's firmware becuase the issue I'm describing here happened both with the original firmware and with this one, so it doesn't seem anything to do with firmwares itself Thing is that it's...

I always wonder if USB3 is reliable to achieve a 2.5Gb speed (despite it technically can get up to 4.8Gb I've never been able to reach +1.5Gb on a USB3 port)

I fear these one-man projects o_O I wonder why it has not been opened like OpenWRT (given that there are more people like GNUTon that seem to be willing to expand the base code) If something happens to him firmware will eventually go obsolete and back to stock 😭

My lord, can you believe I always thought it was full 2.5Gb ports? I read wrongly the specs. I should have bought the Dynalink WRX36, what a waste of money 😭 And the Wifi is not performing amazingly as it should, with a 2.5Gb WAN uplink. I'm thinking on installing the GNUton Merlin fork to see...

I mean, if someone has been able to fork and support it, why not simply integrating on the upstream code like in OpenWRT for example. Unless that Merlin code, is exclusively maintained by @RMerlin, which then everything would make sense (because he doesn't simply have the router or whatever)

May I ask why not? What issues are hindering this support to require a fork?

I've noticed that in the last version XT12 was supported by Merlin but I see that XT8 is not supported yet and I have not seen any threads talking about this Any plans on supporting this device?
