    XT8 - Can't use 20/40/80/160 Mhz on 5ghz channels

    I'm running RC2-9 but this has been the case since I have this set. My best speeds are when using 40mhz (only). If I also try 80 or 160 (on 5g-2) my speeds are in the teens. My best channel for 5g-2 is 149. For 5g-1 I can only choose from the 4 channels in the 40's. Is there a way to choose...

    XT8 Can't turn off "Dedicated Wireless Backhaul" in app

    Hey tbrock, I'm having less issues with the 5-2 band. It seems to be bouncing less often. I do notice that my wifi goes up and down at times. Sometimes I have to reboot both routers manually (I'm not sure if rebooting from the app or GUI reboots both). Sometimes my 5-1 just goes down...

    ZenWiFi AX XT8 Unable to access settings

    I had the same problem where I couldn't use the Web-GUI locally or the app. I connected remotely and saw that I changed the Authentication Method under Local Access Config to HTTPS from BOTH, When I set it back to both I was able to connect locally. WEB-GUI / Administration / System Tab /...

    XT8 Can't turn off "Dedicated Wireless Backhaul" in app

    I got the 5g-2 working. I had to change from 20/40/80 to 40. I left the 160 enabled. I did the rename, rebooted the router. After messing with the settings below I got my Galaxy S20+ to connect to the 5g-2. Good test speeds. Yesterday I had issues again. I'll have to keep messing with it...

    XT8 Can't turn off "Dedicated Wireless Backhaul" in app

    I have my 2.4 & 5ghz bands separately named so I'm not using smart connect. And yes, I'm using the RC beta Ozark suggested.

    XT8 Can't turn off "Dedicated Wireless Backhaul" in app

    I have it set for ethernet. The wired back-haul is working. I just can't seem to use the 5g-2 for devices. I will try the rename this weekend.

    XT8 Can't turn off "Dedicated Wireless Backhaul" in app

    I did a factory reset, installed the RC firmware and swapped routers (router is now node and vice versa). I did set the back-haul to Ethernet only. It established the back-haul but not when I tried to add the node. It failed (couldn't find device) but then it magically appeared. I still...

    XT8 Can't turn off "Dedicated Wireless Backhaul" in app

    Thanks man!!! I'll give it a shot tonight. I have to assume that one of the intents for a wired backhaul is to free up the 5g-2 band... Obviously along with better, more reliable back-haul performance. Especially in a 100% Tri-Band Mesh.

    XT8 Can't turn off "Dedicated Wireless Backhaul" in app

    I have a new XT8 kit setup with Wired Back-haul. I'm using a CAT 7 cable for the Back-haul. I'm trying to get the 5G-2 band off of it so it can be utilized by my WiFi 6 devices. The node shows no 5G-2 SSID and the Router's 5G-2 keeps bouncing. No devices can connect to it AND have internet...

    Replacement RT-AC3100 tried to restore a saved cfg from old one.

    I bought a new RT-AC3100 to replace one that was giving me some grief with the 5ghz radio shutting off. Before I returned the old one I saved the config. On the new one I uploaded the same Merlin FW (380.65_4) and then reset and rebooted. When I went to restore the CFG it completed...

    Best Merlin Firmware for RT-AC3100 and OpenVPN using PureVPN ??

    I connect to the UDP NJ-US server from Northern NJ. I'm still playing with it but got UDP to work somewhat. I think I'm using port 8000 at the moment but won't know for sure until I get home. My couple of speed tests varied from 9-30-45-ish Mbps. I also set the fallback Cipher to AES-128-CBC...

    Best Merlin Firmware for RT-AC3100 and OpenVPN using PureVPN ??

    I'm fighting through the issues with my new (still returnable) RT-AC3100. 5ghz radio turning off... Time randomly changing to July, etc... BUT, I'm running an OpenVPN client w/ PureVPN. I need/want to use Merlin because I only want certain devices to go thru the VPN (2 FireTV devices). I had...
