xt8

Hi guys! My current ISP plan is 600 down and 1gb up. When running a speedtest using my pc (connected via ethernet to xt8), I am getting that said speed. However, when connecting wirelessly, I am only getting around 300-400 down and 300-400 up. When I connect wirelessly directly to the modem, I...

GT-AX6000 main, two XT8 mesh nodes w/ 2.5g hard-wired backhaul. Currently on 388.21617 on main and nodes. If I enable guest wifi sync to nodes, everything completely freaks out - ips don't get handed out, etc. I've submitted feedback to Asus multiple times and have gotten no response. Any ideas...

I've just bought a pair of XT8s to go with my 1000/1000 MB internet connection. The XT8 node has 'great' signal strength to the 'XT8 router' via wireless(5GHz) backhaul. I'll get 430/250 MB wireless wifi on my S22 phone from the node, which I'm pleased with. However, watching the World cup...

Newbie here. I have the AX6600 (XT8 2-pack). It's great, but I want to extend the signal to our back patio. What is the best and most economical way to do this? Buying a single AX6600 is pretty expensive. Details: Our home is strangely configured with interior brick walls and big appliances...

Hi all, My first post in the forum so go easy on me please.. I have recently got a new 1gig broadband package (with YouFibre). My set up is as follow: optical cable from outside > YouFibre ONT box (modem) > CAT 7 Ethernet > ASUS XT8 router > CAT5e WiFi speed is fine (around 700-800Mbps)...

I'm not 100% confident on this, but I keep seeing this error near/around the time that my network just takes a huge dump. When my network collapses I am unable to connect to the router (192.168.1.1), nor any devices on network. I have to wait some 2-3 min before the router UI is accessible, and...

Hi, question is as per the subject - does anyone know if it's possible to use 5GHz-2 in Bridge mode? It seems to be limited to 5GHz-1 for the bridge. When I try manual settings for the bridge, and select 5GHz-2, it goes into a mode where the LED flashes blue, which appears to mean it's trying...

Haven't found any answers to this out there, but is it possible to assign a custom DNS setting to a Guest network on the ZenWifi XT8 router? The only place I see where a custom DNS can be set is under the WAN setting, but this is global, meaning it affects all the networks. I don't see a...

While investigating a packet loss issues (now resolved) it came to my attention that my XT8 quite frequently adds up to about 20ms to ping of the ISP gateway (using ethernet). This does not occur with another router, a Mikrotik Hap AC2. Originally I noticed this with the stock firmware, but I've...

New to the forum (and ASUS XT8), so apologies if this has been answered before. I have searched online but not found anything. I have an XT8 mesh, in AP mode, running the 46061 firmware and a dedicated wireless backhaul. If I configure the mesh with only two XT8 nodes, I see a 160MHz backhaul...

Setup is as so: Fiber internet-->primary XT8 uplink. Local IP 192.168.50.1 Ethernet port of primary XT8 -> secondary XT8 uplink. Local IP 192.168.50.111 Using the ethernet backhaul, so no wireless devices here. Server connected off of primary XT8: 192.168.50.11 Client connected off of secondary...

Trying to get the following to work: GT-AX11000 Connected to ISP via 1Gbit WAN port + 2.5 Gbit port connected to QNAP 2.5 Gbit port with CAT7. 4x XT8s connected using CAT7 to QNAP switch In theory this should give me a 2.5 Gbit wired ethernet backhaul and ability to utilize triband purely for...

I'm trying to figure out how to use an encrypted SSD as a networked drive with my XT8 router. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Not really sure what I need to do here

Hello everyone, I thought I'd share my latest experiment which appears to have solved my biggest issues with my XT8 system. I originally started with a 4 unit XT8 mesh system on Verizon Fios with a 400/400 plan. Wired speeds were 500/500 (not a typo) but on wireless I could never get above...

Happy Lunar New Year to those celebrating in the forum! As I get closer to moving into my home I started to put more thought into my setup. Since it's a good idea to segregate my IoT devices (locks, Apple TV, Light Switches, etc), it caused a pickle since I plan to put my XT8's in AP mode since...

Hey folks - bought 4 XT8's. TL:DR: Tried to downgrade the firmware on a new 2021 XT8 from 43170 to 25790 via the web UI. Did everything is was supposed to but failed to reboot. Now I cant reset it, soft or hard, and cant put it in to recovery mode. When I turn it on it goes straight to a solid...

So, everything was fine until yesterday and then I had to turn off the breaker for some work to get done on the house. Upon power-up all kinds of issues with the Nest Guard not connecting. 3 nodes, Ethernet backhaul, AiMesh Router Mode, 5GHz SmartConnect with 1 SSID for 5-1/5-2, 1 SSID for 2.4...

Hi guys, Was deep into researching dependable wifi 6 mesh setups for my upcoming home and come across the XT8's and also this forum with quite a few issues raised. Wanted some feedback if this would be stable enough for my home that will have a fair number of IoT accessories ranging from wall...

Dear all, First thank you to the many folks who have posted various ZenWifi XT8 threads - it has been very helpful for me. I have some questions and want to break this down to most easily explain my house and what I had vs what I am able to do as of now (Thank you in advance and apologies if...

Hello all from a forum newbie I have four XT8s in a home mesh network and am looking at wiring the backhaul of some or all of them using TP-Link TL-PA8010P/30P (1-port and 3-port) powerline adapters. I know the general feeling is that this is risky, but if I set up the units to use ethernet...
