    XT8 5GHz-2 Backhaul Doesn't Hold - Any Final Suggestions?

    Got some replacement units today. Set them up from scratch on the latest firmware. Not 30 minutes later, the backhaul has dropped to the 2.4GHz radio in exactly the same manner as the original pair. I can't understand it 😢 it's got to be something environmental, hasn't it? It coincidentally...

    XT8 5GHz-2 Backhaul Doesn't Hold - Any Final Suggestions?

    That's my long-term goal, but not something I can practically do at the moment. I've started a return of my units and have some replacements on the way, so that'll hopefully tell me if I have a hardware problem or perhaps if there's something environmental at play.

    XT8 5GHz-2 Backhaul Doesn't Hold - Any Final Suggestions?

    Ah, thanks. I tried GNUton Merlin - albeit 388.1, but the backhaul has just died again and reverted to 2.4GHz with pretty much the same error ☹️ Mar 27 13:00:40 wpa_supplicant[1963]: eth6: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=ROUTER_5GHZ_2_BACKHAUL_MAC reason=4 Mar 27 13:00:40 kernel: CFG80211-ERROR)...

    XT8 5GHz-2 Backhaul Doesn't Hold - Any Final Suggestions?

    Hello, I've had a pair of XT8s for the last few months, configured with a wireless (5GHz-2) backhaul. Every few hours/days, the backhaul drops to 2.4GHz, interrupting any clients connected to the secondary node and severely reducing the throughput. I've reached a point where I think I've tried...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    Channel 100 for the backhaul, which I think is DFS, but I don't think that's the problem. I'm pretty sure the syslog tells you if radar has been detected and neither that nor the dedicated wireless log have ever suggested that it has. Normally all I get in the logs is something like this:

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    Yes and yes. I can't think of any obvious settings combination I haven't tried. Having a wired backhaul is the biggest one yet untested and surely the one to resolve the issues, but it's untested for good reason as I'm not (yet) in a position to lay a cable.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    Well, I thought 22525 had solved everything, but my backhaul has started dropping back from the dedicated 5GHz-2 radio to the 2.4GHz radio again, recently one or twice every day or two. After 8 back-and-forths with Asus support, I'm curious to see where they want to go now. I think I've done...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    If you have the mobile app, it's Devices -> AiMesh -> Select your node -> Management/Backhaul Connection Priority. From the web app, it's AiMesh -> Click the node -> Management -> Backhaul Connection Priority I think I jinxed myself: my node has just dropped its 5GHz-2 backhaul and gone to...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    That's surprising - I thought this version was turning out to be the most stable of the recent ones. Did you factory reset after the update and if it so did you restore settings manually or from a file? Perhaps an obvious question, but is your node configured to prioritise the wireless backhaul...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    PHY rate Transmit Rate 1080.9 Mbps Receive Rate 960.7 Mbps It's currently connected with 80 MHz on the backhaul. The first couple of times the system booted up and after the 10 minutes of solid green LED on the router (this seems new with this firmware version - I assume DFS scanning?), it...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

    First time post from a forum lurker here. I've been liaising with Asus support for a few weeks due to the wireless backhaul of my 2x XT8 mesh dropping to 2.4GHz every day or two and not reverting back to the dedicated 5GHz-2 radio. They first had me try an (unpublished?) beta firmware...
