Cool. Thanks. V1 or V2 hardware? or some of each?

That's encouraging. Thanks! Are you using wired or wireless backhaul for the AiMesh? And are all your XT8's at hardware version 1?

Interested to see if anybody can get reliable operation for more than three weeks in a row with this version using two or more AiMesh wireless nodes on the XT8 v1 hardware. Not holding my breath.

You're very welcome. Hope the settings help. Your ring doorbell problem is interesting. 2.4 GHz WiFi has better "effective range" than 5 GHz WiFi. The tradeoff is that 5 GHz WiFi offers greater potential maximum speed. So your 2.4 GHz signal reach to the ring doorbell *should* be better...

I've had stable operation with decent performance for all wireless and wired devices for 64 days now, which is a personal record for this gear. I spent over a year trying various combinations of firmware (stock and Gnuton) and settings. Happy to share my settings. To avoid writing a book or...

I would definitely not update if everything is working fine. Unless you need more excitement in your life. I've found the XT8's to be pretty fragile in operation with very poor quality control of firmware updates. And their tech support is completely useless. I have managed to achieve...

Completely agree. I've found the quality control for the ASUS XT8 firmware to be really bad. Even compared to other consumer grade networking gear. If the 388_22525 version works great for you, I'd stick with it for now. I only upgraded to the 388_23285 release because ASUS Tech Support...

I've successfully used this firmware for roughly 45 days with no issues. 3 XT8's, all wireless backhaul, 1 Gbps fiber Internet service. No node drops/downgrades, no wireless or wired client disconnects, decent-ish performance. But to achieve that, I had to configure the XT8's for a daily...

It might be a good idea if you explained your setup/problem a little more clearly. From your original description, it sounds like you have an ASUS XT8 as your primary mesh node connected to the Fritz modem, and a secondary XT8 node 30 feet away from the primary, is that correct? Am I correct...
