    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285

    That's not it. I had the same RSSI (or even slightly worse) at some point and it never switched to 2.4 band. I think this is either broken hardware or environment specific that would be difficult for Asus to reproduce and fix. I have never in my environment experienced a drop to 2.4 (on...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23012

    Yes, thats what I'm using. Even power supply works fine with 220v (with a socket adapter). Never been happier with an Asus product...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23012

    Its approved as per this, but the maximum allowed power transmission level is so low it won't be used by consumer routers. Better solution is to just order US version from Amazon/ebay and be happy...

    low latency settings for wireless backhaul

    I can't easily test this, but I'm 99% certain it will be OK. Even when i do manual testing of calls with friends (who are on good connection as well) it's not reproducible, but long calls (over far longer geo distance) my kid does for tutoring are affected (could be 30-40 min in the problems...

    low latency settings for wireless backhaul

    Just to follow up. I ended up re-arranging node placement to archive slightly better connectivity: backhaul is now connected at ~800mbps with real life internet speed of ~450mbps both ways). To my dismay Zoom calls are still choppy from time to time. I can't believe that at those speeds and...

    low latency settings for wireless backhaul

    I have a couple of XT8s in AP mode connected with wireless backhaul. I spent quite a bit of effort before on optimizing wireless connection for speed/bandwidth and is able to have ~350Mbps internet speed through the child node (out of Gigabit on the main node) which I'm happy with, however it...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22068

    That can't be it. Mine is -75-80 without any issues. If anything - closer nodes will result in more confusion for clients trying to roam (even though the backhaul will be better).

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22068

    Just to balance this - 22068 has been the fastest and the most reliable on my XT8s. So not all that bad... To be fair in my set up (AP mode with wireless backhaul with 2 quite far apart nodes, -75dB) I have never experienced a drop off a node, not with XT8, not with 2 different previous AiMesh...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21099 (2022/10/03 )

    I don't game, so can't tell, but if its not working for you then the usual advice applies - just roll back.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21099 (2022/10/03 )

    Ok, so I tried downgrade. After the main node is back on 386 I still get the same speed, but as soon as I downgrade secondary node speed is back to what is used to be (i.e. almost 25% lower for me). I upgraded secondary node back to 388 and speed is back up. So I'll try this combination for a...

    Xt12 vs 8

    System Log - > Wireless log -> scroll to the bottom, station list should have one entry where you can see dBm value.

    Xt8 fine tuning the setting recommendations?

    ^^^ That plus: smart connect off, roaming assistant off, different SSIDs, if you have IOT devices on 2.4 then disable wifi 6/ax on it, fixed channel (unless you live isolated without other neighbour networks), wpa2, modulation up to MSC 9 (my legacy smart plugs and heating doesn't like MSC 11...

    Asus WifiPro ET12 & AsusWRT advice sought

    I find, historically, it was always a problem for Asus to detect on any router/firmware where cabled devices are. I use other switches connected to my nodes and many devices through them and the map is always messed up. Also if a wireless devices goes offline then frequently I can see it being...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21099 (2022/10/03 )

    I'm still in two minds about this firmware. My wireless backhaul (on 5-2) seems to be a bit faster most of the time, but connection speed does fluctuate if I look at the wireless logs. Devices connected to 5-1 are also faster, but I get a lot of disconnects for them in the remote areas of the...
