    Optimising performance XT8 AX6600

    I played around with disabling "Smart Connect" and got a bit lost. I ended up with a second node that refused to connect to the first AP (flashing blue LED). Luckily I took a snapshot of my configuration before mucking about. Restoring the config brought it back online. It seems there are...

    Optimising performance XT8 AX6600

    Correct, the first XT8 is in AP mode, wired to router and second unit as aimesh. The screenshot is from the first XT8. The internal walls are all concrete. It's an 80's built high-rise - 30 floors. Yep, the second unit is slightly around the corner, almost line of sight. It's a very angular...

    Optimising performance XT8 AX6600

    Thanks, my locale is Sydney CBD, Australia. Below is my wireless settings. I think they are pretty much standard default settings. Recently I tried adjusting channels based on WiFi analysis of my apartment, but I don't see any evidence of that or where those settings are made. I'm wondering...

    Optimising performance XT8 AX6600

    I'm having a few connection issues with my XT8 AX6600. I have two nodes configured in Access Point Mode (I use a separate OPNsense router that connects to my modem) using AiMesh. Each node is separated by only 6 metres, but not quite line of sight. There are concrete walls. I live in a large...

    Changing AX(XT8) from router mode to AP AiMesh

    Thank you. I'm not too concerned about VLANs right now. AFAIK, the XT8 does not currently support VLANs.

    Changing AX(XT8) from router mode to AP AiMesh

    I have two XT8s setup as an AI Mesh in router mode. I want to change from router mode to AP AiMesh mode. I am installing an OPNsense firewall router which will be my DHCP server going forward. I'd like to change to AP mode and make the change as smooth as possible with minimal interuption to...

    Local DNS resolution AX6600

    I'm using PopOS! which is Ubuntu based OS. Yes, the new router's IP address is new. I'll check my DNS settings, but I'm pretty sure it's pointing to the Asus router. I'm using Router mode on the Asus WiFi router and using its DHCP service for issuing IP addresses.

    Local DNS resolution AX6600

    I've just set-up a new ZenWiFi AX6600. My network has several hosts that I wish to communicate with using their hostnames. At the moment I am unable to do so. If I ping 'hostname' I get a message: Temporary failure in name resolution Does the AX6600 have a DNS server built-in? If so, how do I...
