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

    Thanks JagoUK for all the help, looks like DFS events are not an issue in my location. Here's my setup (stable over last couple days) for now. Wireless AiMesh backhaul. QoS off, Smart Connect off, Roaming assistant off, Wifi Agile Multiband On in 5.1 and 5.2 bands. Notes: 1. Same SSD in all...

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

    Couldn't find radar/dfs keyword in the log.

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

    Yes, DFS events are not happening frequently at all. I wonder if they can still happen sometimes and there a 2 minute loss of connectivity can make my family frown on the fancy high speed setup.

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

    I didn't fully understand your point of testing/simulating a DFS event. Here's my log just after a reboot. What to make of it?

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

    That's weird, if not a DFS channel, maybe a bad unit. Try factory reset, else return/exchange. I can confirm that doesn't happen for me. I assuming you are on latest firmware. Mine is below.

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

    Btw, following settings in the wifi driver (if available) really make a device stick to 5Ghz as long as the signal is not very weak. Really works well for me. Set Preferred Band to 5Ghz Set Roaming Aggressiveness to Highest See if that solves your problem.

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

    If you don't have a DFS channel (verified with manual selection and wifi analyzer), then why does it drop to 2.4? For me, switching off smart connect and roaming assistant helped on the first day when I saw some switching to 2.4 randomly. No problem since then.

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

    Does a router reboot solve it? Looks like it has a reboot scheduler.

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

    Ouch. Like you said in your review, I really don't want to return this unit. Is this ASUS specific implementation issue of losing both 5.1/5.2 or required by DFS regulations in your area.? I am in US and at least logs don't show any events in last day or so, but need to read up more. I wish...

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

    I read your review (excellent and very useful) and checked logs in my router too. The thing that is confusing me is if 5 band got blocked for 2 minutes, did you lose connectivity or 2.4 band handled it during that time?

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

    I'm less worried about speed drops as long as I get say 100-200Mbps+ during that time. Connectivity loss of 2 minutes is a much bigger problem. Did you mean 5.2 Band will be out for 2 minutes or both 5.1 and 5.2? During that time what happens to a client connected on 5.1/2.4 to the satellite...

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

    Thanks for confirming that the system will just move 5.2 band to another channel in all cases. So, I should expect an almost seamless transition in connectivity for my client devices. Right? Now, even if 160Mhz drops to 80Mhz, it remains a 2400Mbps backhaul and in my environments, I expect it...

    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...
