    ASUS given up on ZenWifi XT12 Pro?

    I am v happy with my 4xXT12s, esp since the latest Merlin's firmware, but there is no way around it - Asus's support has been shocking, I don't remember it being that bad for any of the routers I've owned over the last 14 years.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 is now available

    Dirty upgrade from 388.2 on my 4 x XT12s, excellent so far, and I've had 160Mhz running on both 5GHz bands for 48h, whereas I used to get only about 5 at most before on all prior firmware versions. Very impressed so far.

    XT12 Pro - Multicast routing support?

    Hi @CTV, yes, I am getting the same message (running Merlin 388.2_2).

    Release ASUS ZenWIFI Pro XT12 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21293 (2022/10/24)

    I am v impressed with my XT12s in a v similar situation - I live in a Victorian 4-storey house, with the broadband coming in at one of the corners on the LG, my study sits in an extension beyond the old exterior wall. I used to struggle with a combo of 2xGT-AX11000 + 2xXT8. Not anymore - I am...

    Release ASUS ZenWIFI Pro XT12 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21293 (2022/10/24)

    So how is everyone's experience with 388 for XT12 so far?

    XT12 Pro - Multicast routing support?

    Yes, I am very happy with them, much more pleased than with XT8 before as they're very stable, have great range and performance so far, work well with AX11000 in my set-up. Shame there is no USB port though, a very strange omission, as otherwise they ARE the best Wi-Fi 6 routers around, mesh or not.

    Release Asus ZenWifi Pro XT12 Firmware Version 3.0.0.4.386.48823 (2022/05/17)

    DO NOT UPDATE - this is a disastrous release compared to the previous rock-solid firmware, AI Mesh ruined with the same symptoms as with the release here https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-zenwifi-xt8-firmware-version-3-0-0-4-386-48706-2022-05-03.78762/

    XT12 Pro - Multicast routing support?

    I can see IGMP snooping and Multicast Rate(Mbps) choice in 'Professional' Wi-Fi settings, as well as Enable multicast routing in LAN>IPTV settings, is that what you need?

    Asus Mesh Daisy Chain Speed?

    Many thanks for the input do far. Of course it's 'node' and not 'nod', thanks for pointing that out, fixed the original message. Yes, my question refers to both a) why is it connecting at 80Mhz? b) why the reported throughput is halved? All I did was add another node via the app and not changed...

    Asus Mesh Daisy Chain Speed?

    Hi, How does network speed work in case of daisy-chaining several routers? More specifically, if I use my XT12 as the main router, and another XT12 as a node, I get the following picture: If I then add my GT-AX11000 as a node - that needs to connect to the 'node' XT12 in daisy chain (ie...

    Asus Zenwifi XT12 vs XT8

    I think it's a direct consequence of it not being launched in the North America, sadly. I made the plunge, and for now (albeit only 2 days in) I am very impressed with XT12 vs XT8 in my set-up.

    Asus Mesh Daisy Chain Speed?

    Resolved the above by rebuilding the mesh.

    Asus Mesh Daisy Chain Speed?

    I have my AX11000 set up as the main router and 2 x XT12 connected to it as nodes, + XT8 on another floor. After my printer - one of the few 2.4 devices - would not connect to any of the nodes but rather to the main router only, I checked the available wireless networks and can see that neither...

    How to force XT8 mesh into particular topography config

    Same issue for me, XT8 nodes ignore my Preferred WiFi Uplink AP setting and choose a vastly suboptimal topography, defeats the whole purpose of the mesh(

    ASUS XT8 wifi issues with latest firmware 3.0.0.4.386_45934 (AP mode)

    I have AX11000 as the main router and 3 x XT8s as APs. One of the issues I have is that they keep ignoring my specified topology, ie Preferred WiFi Uplink AP setting - I’ve tried both 3.0.0.4.386_45934 and 386 rc3-3 firmware to no avail, has any one figured how force them to stick to the right...
