I have the XT8 2 node setup, been recently experiencing issues where would loose all internet connection, but modem still working. When checking the router initially able to ping it from pc, but unable to access internet the gui interface or via the mobile app.
ASUS haven't been very helpful, just saying do another factory reset, and it wouldn't be their firmware, etc that would have a problem. I've already done a few and with 40+ devices (not all on at same time) its now getting frustrating, especially as it's happened again this morning while i'm working remotely.
On checking the router this morning it was solid white, then it went to a red, then green, then white and I was finally able to check the system log and on doing so found it had rebooted itself.
My first XT8 was replaced due to getting it to work over ethernet backhaul using guest accounts which is now resolved, i replaced a deco m5 setup as required better speeds as less nodes, but thinking about contacting supplier and sending back as faulty and going back to pfsense/opnsense with access points setup
Any ideas? Should I go through another factory reset and manually setup the reserved addresses again
Update: ASUS think it is a hardware fault so advised to contact seller for replacement, contacted Amazon and can only send back for full refund as they don't have any replacement X8 units
