Yes, happened to me with older XT8 firmware. You should try the most recent from ASUS, or even the public beta firmware.

Guess I should have done that. Next RC if the problem persists. Trying to get this RC working pretty much took all day which I'm not keen on repeating.

There are switches between the router and the nodes, but none of my switches are managed. I'm guessing the managed switch problem shows up with these later releases because I'm having no problems with rc2-4, which I'm sticking with for now.

Because it was even worse with all the nodes left on. The suggestion was add them one by one singly so that the router never saw more than one node at a time. Actually when I turned on the third node, the LED went white for a while before the whole thing broke down. Probably if I had waited...

Here's what I tried with all nodes on the same firmware, everything reset to factory: o set up the router, ethernet backhaul selected o Added first node o turned off first node and added second node o turned off second node and added third node o turned off third node, turned on first...

Beats me too. Every beta up to and including rc2-4 installed fine on the router and all nodes, even without doing a factory reset. Everything since has been a disaster, even with a factory reset. For some reason the only setup it will accept with rc2-7 is one XT8 router and one XT8 node. Any...

Cannot add more than one XT8 node to my setup. The second one never connects properly and eventually disappears completely.

I'm trying to go back to the RC2-4 firmware. I can do that on the router, but the nodes don't stay connected long enough to do the downgrade. Guess I'm going to have to connect to each with an ethernet cable from my laptop and downgrade. A real pain in the neck.

Yes, Ethernet Backhaul Mode is checked and always has been. Ok, reset the router and set it up again. Reset one of the nodes and added it back in again. It gets added with a weak wireless backhaul despite ethernet backhaul being checked, stays connected for about a minute, and then disconnects...

I rebooted the router, all nodes disappeared. I power cycled each node. The LED on them turns white for a minute, the main router show a weak wireless backhaul connection, then the LED starts rapidly blinking blue and they disconnect.

ZenWiFi XT8 with 3 nodes, all using ethernet backhaul. No problems under RC2-4. Updated main router to RC2-7, seemed OK, much better than RC2-5. Updated first node, seemed OK also. However, as I updated each subsequent node, each disconnected and would not reconnect, ethernet backhaul or...

Update. Reset all XT8s and started from scratch. All nodes are ethernet backhaul. Set up router with rc2-5 firmware and re-configured all my settings from scratch. No UI slowdowns and ethernet backhaul looked good. Added second mesh node, also good. Added third, seemed to go OK. Added fourth...

I attempted to update my XT8s again (I have 4), providing plenty of time for the interface to become responsive again. Router went OK but it did take 15 minutes before the web interface could be used. Added second node, that went OK too. Added third node. Interface became unresponsive and both...

Updated my XT8 router to RC2-5. While everything seemed to work, the web interface became extremely sluggish. taking minutes to log in or change pages. Factory reset didn't fix it. Had to flash the previous beta and restore my settings from backup.

Great analysis. In the UK it looks like those channels are allowed but monitored and put out of service if radar is detected. Unfortunately in Canada, they are completely forbidden and don't even show up in the list of selectable channels. Channels 52, 56, 60, 64 are also not selectable in...
