    ZenWifi XT8 AX Access Problem

    I'm sure we are taking this thread in the wrong direction, so we can take this offline - but yes, I am actually paying $5 less per month for Fibre+ Gig then I was for Internet 600. The rack rate for my Internet 600 was $120 per month and my rack rate for Fibre+ Gig is $115 per month. Now, I...

    ZenWifi XT8 AX Access Problem

    Interesting. Myself and one of my buddies in the neighbourhood basically got like for like. Upgraded to 1GB at no extra cost. Maybe I was overpaying for 600...

    ZenWifi XT8 AX Access Problem

    I am not sure where you guys are located but Shaw is now offering GB internet in some areas. I'm getting great, consistent download speeds with the XT8 and Shaw's GB internet. I switched from the Orbi, which was abysmal for consistency and quality.

    Interestingly enough - shortly after this exchange, I installed the stock 2.5.1.8 and have not had any problems since. I may stand down for a bit and keep it as is. Thanks for the great builds and for your help.

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.9SF-HW

    Hi Voxel, After a restart, we can access the internet normally from all devices (wired or wireless) - streaming, game playing, etc. After a period of time, the internet connection degrades for everyone - wired or wirelessly connected. If I use fast.com after a restart from a computer...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.9SF-HW

    Thanks for the reply e38Bimmer. I have done the factory reset previously, but will try again as I am getting to the point where the only real option is to purchase new hardware. I will try the reset and get you the other information you requested in the next day or so. Thanks for your help.

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.9SF-HW

    Hello, Thanks Voxel for another great build. I am continuing to experience the slow down issue, even with this build. I did a fresh install today and within a few hours our network slowed down to a screeching halt (both wired and wifi). The only fix is to reboot the unit. Is it worth trying...

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50 v. 2.5.0.42SF-HW

    Hello, After having slow speed and latency issues with stock FW 2.5.0.38, I installed 2.5.0.42SF-HW yesterday and all appeared well last night. Speeds were where I expected and game play latency had reduced dramatically. However, when I checked this morning, we had lost internet access...
