    XT8 FW 3.0.0.4.386.26044 breaks Sonos

    Hi, Just wanted to share if anybody runs into the same issues. Upgraded to the 3.0.0.4.386.26044 firmware on my XT8 and all my Sonos devices started acting flaky. They were all on the WiFi but I couldn't control them from any apps and they couldn't connect to play music. A quick downgrade to...

    Help : Asus ZenWifi XT8 not working in Access Point

    I think I have found a clear bug in the latest ASUS firmware for the XT8 : I have reproduced 3 times the same issue. I set up the Router normally and everything works perfectly well (98Mbps download speed in 2.4Ghz, north of 600Mbps download speed in 5Ghz). HOWEVER, as soon as I change the...

    XT8 Dropping Internet constantly, "tx pkt delay suddently jump"

    Got the XT8 a month ago (end of Nov 2020) and have had nothing but trouble. The first few days it was dropping the internet multiple times per day (ethernet to the rest of the house was fine, wifi devices stayed connected, but no internet access). I installed the latest 386 beta...

    XT8 using 2.4ghz as backhaul even though worse than 5ghz

    I've just picked up a pair of XT8s and have updated them to the latest firmware (3.0.0.4.386_25790). I was surprised to find that my devices were using the 2.4GHz band as the backhaul - with a 1/3 bar connection. I rebooted and they were once again connected with a 3/3 bar connection on the...

    Asus Zenwifi XT8 5GHz-2 Band DFS Channel Backhaul Behavior

    I have the 2-pk XT8 Mesh system. The 2 routers are connected through the 5GHz-2 band as dedicated wireless backhaul. The channel used is DFS channel. Now, if a DFS/Radar event happens and the channel can't be used, what is the behavior of the system, specifically the AiMesh satellite node? I am...

    2x ZenWifi XT8 connected directly to ISP Router, best way to make it work?

    I have a Gigabit (1000 down / 200 up) FTTH from my ISP. The fiber gets inside my house and goes into the router (actually, it is a combo of router + ONT + wireless router + 4-port switch + RF TV converter). It is possible to setup the router in bridge mode, if necessary. The ISP Router is...

    Asus ZenWifi AX XT8 - A two week technical review (And that 160mhz issue)

    First the TL;DR 160mhz backhaul not possible in areas of UK due to weather radar on 5.625ghz. Channel 124 is 5.620ghz *See map below* This removes one of the BIG features of this product. I think it could be fixed, but will it? Fronthaul 5G-1 limited to channels 36-64 Backhaul 5G-2...

    Setting up an Extra AP with Asus's XT8

    Hello, I want to buy Asus's ZenWifi XT8. But before doing that I have a question. I have a Cisco Access Point (Model: AIR-AP1832I-E-K9). Can I set up my 2 Asus units and connect the Cisco AP as a third unit with them?, having them all broadcast the same SSID as a one network and have a good...

    AdGuard Home on the router itself - Manual Install

    Not to be confused with the "Fully Automated" script post, this is my go that I started working on last night before I found that posting. I'm doing this on an ARM-based Zenwifi 6600 / XT8, which I guess isn't supported by Merlin firmware yet... If you're on a MIPS-based machine you'll need...

    ZenWifi XT8 AX Access Problem

    Recently, I’ve had to reboot the XT8 router a couple of times. The first time, about a week ago, the system stopped broadcasting all of a sudden. I rebooted just the router and everything came back up and has been stable until today. I checked the logs for this first event and there were a...
