As Dirty Harry said, "A man's got to know his limitations", and I'm beginning to figure out what he means. I have 2 XT8 units that were working fine. However, my Web GUI page showed an avaiable firmware update to 386_41793. The router software updated both units successfully, but then I did a factory reset to make sure the firmware worked properly (as had been recommended on the Asus support site). Doh! Both units started blinking blue and then turned red! No Internet even though the router was connected to my cable modem, and no clients were identified on either unit. After 2+ hours of troubleshooting on my own, followed by another hour on the phone with Asus customer support, both units finally were back on line after multiple resets and support "magic". From now on my motto is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", and if it is "broke", I'll update the firmware but will not follow a successful update with a factory reset! So saith the noobie. YMMV.
