I’m on HW v1, yet this doesn’t show when I check for firmware update via the Asus App 🤔

Was wondering the same.

Dirty install here on two devices connected via 5ghz backhaul. No problems so far.

Same here.

Is the gnuton build any better in terms of reliability than this latest firmware?

Think I’ll wait a bit until some intrepid souls have given it test.

I dirty upgraded from 3.0.0.4.386.49873 using the iOS app. No probs so far.

I have never bothered with a single factory reset when upgrading, Mine seem to function fine without but I suppose it’s dependent on how yours has been configured, If it works, just leave alone.

In case you all haven’t seen it, this thread gives a beta release to fix the passphrase >= 32 character problem. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-zenwifi-xt8-firmware-version-version-9-0-0-4-386-48966-2022-05-27.79081/

Ditto. No problems here.

Just upgraded too, dirty from 46061. Seems to have worked OK. Both XT8 nodes are back. Bit early to say if there are any problems. Everything has reconnected so fingers crossed. Connected via wireless backhaul 160Mhz.

Yeah, you have to manually update from a beta release.

See Thread 'Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 GNUton's builds are now available' http://www.snbforums.com/threads/asuswrt-merlin-386-5-gnutons-builds-are-now-available.78160/ Use the RT-AX95Q firmware files. The XT8 was called that before being renamed by marketing, apparently.

Is there a changelog please?

Sounds similar to the problem I had here. Having a faulty drive or filesystem attached via USB causes the XT8 to rapidly run out of memory and kills the inbuilt web server. I reported it to ASUS and they said they were forwarding it on to their tech support team but have heard nothing else...
