    Aimesh Ethernet Backhaul not working through switch?

    When I connect ASUS ZenWifi XT8 (3.0.0.4.388_21099) directly through an ethernet cable to an ASUS RT-AC1900P (3.0.0.4.386_49703) Aimesh node, it shows the RT-AC1900P backhaul is using the ethernet connection. However, when I put a Netgear switch in between, it uses a wireless 5G backhaul. Why...

    Link Status / Speed Wan Port Asus Router

    I have an Asus ZenWifi AX (XT8) with the 2.5G WAN port connected to a 10G ONU port. The ONU seems to indicate a link has been established, but the Asus system log has a message which says WAN down. I can see the following messages in the syslog which I assume relate to the LAN ports May 5...

    I found this post (Internet status: Disconnected bug in 386.5 | SmallNetBuilder Forums (snbforums.com)) which stated that a query is done to dns.msftncsi.com. Here are my results for nslookup: nslookup dns.msftncsi.com Server: UnKnown Address: 240b:10:36f0:6f00:f22f:74ff:fefd:2d70...

    My Asus ZenWifi AX (XT8) shows a red light and the GUI shows that it is not connected to the Internet. This while I am typing this message on the forum; obviously, something magical is going on. I am connecting my Asus router to a LAN port of my provider's router and have set up the Asus WAN...

    Using Asus Router behind Provider Router

    Thanks for sharing the link. Very interesting to read. The provider Nuro and the Huawei described is exactly what I am using currently and moving away from. Unfortunately, the password hack described does not work. Likely, Sony has changed the id / password since the article was written.

    Using Asus Router behind Provider Router

    That is where I got the above screenshot. I am between switching providers and both the provider routers are provided by the provider and neither provider provided router (Huawei HG8045Q and a carrier designed and manufactured router) has a WAN configuration page so I am unfortunately unable to...

    Using Asus Router behind Provider Router

    Do you mean WAN Bridge Mode like for example in the attached setup of a Huawei router? When seeing whether Asus supports something similar, I only came across Media Bridge Mode https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1043884 which seems to be something different. If you are referring to bridging the...

    AiMesh trouble with ZenWifi XT8 mesh router

    I couldn't get the RT-AC68U to show up unless it was plugged into the XT8 directly. What I did notice was that the WiFi radio lights did not go on at any time and when I checked the configuration, it didn't show any SSID. I removed the node from the mesh network. This will factory reset the...

    UPnP on ASUS is enabled. When a device creates port forwarding rules on the ASUS router using UPnP, where would they show?

    Two routers in serial: unstable?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I have set up the WAN address of the ASUS router in the DMZ host field of the Huawei router and rebooted the Huawei router. Unfortunately, it did not resolve the issue. Both the Fingbox and Ring still are reporting disconnections. Surprisingly, the web cameras I...

    Two routers in serial: unstable?

    I am not that familiar with DMZ. I can see that I can add IP addresses to the Huawei DMZ configuration. I should add the Asus WAN IP address to the Huawei DMZ configuration? P.S. I assumed that configuring DMZ would involve designating one LAN as a DMZ network. Not that I can see such a...
