    ZenWifi XT8 w/ Gnuton, weird Wifi Issues

    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

    ZenWifi XT8 w/ Gnuton, weird Wifi Issues

    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...

    XT8 Weird backhaul signal issue on 388.1_0-gnuton1

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

    ZenWifi XT8 w/ Gnuton, weird Wifi Issues

    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...

    ZenWifi XT8 w/ Gnuton, weird Wifi Issues

    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...

    ZenWifi XT8 w/ Gnuton, weird Wifi Issues

    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)...

    ZenWifi XT8 w/ Gnuton, weird Wifi Issues

    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...

    ZenWifi XT8 w/ Gnuton, weird Wifi Issues

    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...

    ZenWifi XT8 w/ Gnuton, weird Wifi Issues

    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...

    Driver cross-compilation XT8 (AX95Q)

    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)

    Support for ASUS XT8

    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 😭

    GNUton's Asuswrt-Merlin RTL8156 for USB 2.5G on XT8

    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...

    Support for ASUS XT8

    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)

    Support for ASUS XT8

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

    Support for ASUS XT8

    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?
