    Absolutely unable to add new XT8 node to existing XT8 network. Any ideas?

    Every single time, I get Unable to add your AIMesh node ZenWifi AX to your AIMesh system due to the following bla bla bla. I have tried factory resetting the node. I would try to update the node firmware, but when connecting to it (wifi or ethernet) all I can get access to is the ****ing setup...

    Mesh question...

    Currently I have 3 x XT8's in a mesh setup and I want to add another couple of nodes. These need to be small and neat and acceptable to the Mrs in terms of looks. No big black things with multiple aerials sticking out! The new Asus XD4's would seem ideal but you just cannot buy anywhere a...

    Release XT8 New Firmware 3.0.0.4.386_25790

    Strangely after weeks of smooth running my XT8's have lost all internet connectivity twice now in the past 48 hours. Once, right in the middle of an important MS Teams call with a valued customer. Not good :-( Maybe there's something going on with my internet connection. I hope so, because that...

    Release XT8 New Firmware 3.0.0.4.386_25790

    How on earth do you manage that? The app will look for the IP address 192.168.1.50, which is not a public IP address. Bizarre.

    Release XT8 New Firmware 3.0.0.4.386_25790

    Agreed. Been fine for me since I installed 2 weeks ago. Most importantly, it's fixed the "specific devices randomly losing internet connectivity" problem, which I was plagued with before. Now everything just "works". I note from the logs that the XT8 node re-synced with the main unit a few...

    13 nodes? What do you live in a hotel???

    Release XT8 New Firmware 3.0.0.4.386_25790

    I never saw it do that with the previous fw. It's on 5GHz/160Mhz right now... but it was before the upgrade.

    Release XT8 New Firmware 3.0.0.4.386_25790

    Sorry not meaning to gloat, but just putting it out there... I upgraded on the day this FW was released and (a) the upgrade was painless and took 2 minutes and required no resetting of anything. And (b) It's been completely rock solid ever since. And I haven't seen my 5GHz connectivity issue...

    Release XT8 New Firmware 3.0.0.4.386_25790

    Sorry to see people having problems. I upgraded mine yesterday (and have NOT done a reset) and it's been working perfectly since the upgrade. Just FYI. And BTW, I don't buy into the logic that a reset is necessary. Yes, when upgrading firmware if the data structures/mappings etc have changed...

    Release XT8 New Firmware 3.0.0.4.386_25790

    No, in my haste, I missed that. Stupid of me to imagine they would list the firmware under the "firmware" section, and not the "drivers" section. And silly of me to imagine that only people with Window 7 would be interested in new firmware!???!! Anyway, I have taken the plunge and all seems...

    Release XT8 New Firmware 3.0.0.4.386_25790

    Weird - that's where I have been looking and the latest I see is 25524 EDIT: My mistake, I was looking under Windows 10. Silly me.

    Release XT8 New Firmware 3.0.0.4.386_25790

    Please may I ask where you found this?

    Release XT8 New Firmware 3.0.0.4.386_25790

    Thanks! Where did you find that link? I only ever look on Asus's main website and then navigate to the support/download section for the product concerned. And it's not there. But to answer your question, no, there's no release notes populating.

    Release XT8 New Firmware 3.0.0.4.386_25790

    My router is saying the above new firmware is available, but I don't see it listed on the Asus website and there doesn't appear to be any release notes. Has anyone tried it yet?

    XT8 strange problem...

    Googling around, this seems like a common issue. I am sure it's simply a firmware problem, since the actual signal remains strong and devices remain connected - they just lose internet access. And I think it's very likely a DNS server issue but that's just a guess. I've just tried setting up a...

    XT8 strange problem...

    I've had a pair of these working reasonably well for the past month, but for some bizarre reason, over the past few days some of the clients have had connectivity problems on the 5 GHz channel. They remain connected just fine with strong signal, but lose all internet connectivity. If I...

    Asus ZenWifi XT8 strangeness

    Just to add a bit of balance to this discussion, I have a pair of XT8's in mesh configuration with wireless backhaul and have found them to be absolutely faultless. I get a solid signal now all over my house (2,500 sq feet, two stories) where previously my old AC68U would struggle to provide a...

    Asus 5GHz channels in the UK?

    OK thanks. I'd read differently somewhere, but I guess it's changed since.

    Asus 5GHz channels in the UK?

    Thanks folks. The thing is, I've been messing about trying to improve coverage and ended up running some diagnostics on my Mac. The Mac said that the N66U was reporting an EU country code, which is in conflict with other items on the network. That's why I ended up checking the channels. So I...
