    Asus ZenWifi XT8 strangeness

    Other weird things I have now noticed is that with this latest firmware, if you select your 5-2 band for example to be AX only, N and AC devices can still connect. It really does feel like Asus has done zero in terms of testing.

    Asus XT8 Wired Upload Speeds

    Sadly I have moved house from where I had 1G up/down and now on boring old DOCSIS 3.0 which is of course asymetrical. When I was on 1G fibre a few weeks back, I was reliably able to max out on wired the up/down bandwidth to the expected 930-940 you would expect (taking into account the usual...

    ZenWiFi XT8 - iPhones connected to Wi-fi but no internet

    The issue however is that Asus CS treats you like an idiot. After the first response, I knew I was going to get nowhere. It’s the usual ‘have you plugged everything in’ type CS. I’ve attempted to try a few additional settings this week, specifications turning off the 'Target Wake Time' option...

    ZenWiFi XT8 - iPhones connected to Wi-fi but no internet

    It feels like a beta product, and that combined with poor customer support from Asus, really makes things like this difficult to troubleshoot.

    ZenWiFi XT8 - iPhones connected to Wi-fi but no internet

    What I have noticed is that on my 5-1 network which is dedicated to n and ac devices, my old Macbook which is an n device looses connectivity to the 5-1 network until I reboot. Thankfully all the other devices whether on my 2.4 network dedicated to IoT and 5-2 network for ax devices has not had...

    [Maylyn - Networking] ASUS ZenWiFi XT8

    I sadly moved away from my fibre provider as I moved home, however the XT8 worked at the full claimed fibre speeds (which in my case were 1 gbps). In your case I do have following questions: 1. How is your fibre provider configured? Do they supply a router, or are they just providing an ONT...

    Asus XT8 - is it possible to buy one AX6600 and add another later

    Depends on the market. Here in the UK some distributors sell single packs.

    Asus ZenWifi XT8 strangeness

    Completely agree. IoT probably has a decade still to catch up to modern standards. I don't think you necessary however need to force a specific channel - you just need to make sure the extended channels on the 2.4 band that only some countries provide access to are excluded. It's basically a set...

    Asus ZenWifi XT8 strangeness

    You definitely have taken the extreme configuration route, and yes, you will have sacrificed a lot of the promised wifi 6 goodness by taking this route (although this of course assumes that the new functionality offered actually works, which as pretty much all of us on here will attest, is...

    Asus ZenWifi XT8 strangeness

    Which mode have you selected to change it from AI Mesh to just an AP? I don’t think I saw a real mode to do this! Also what channels/bands config are you using between different APs?

    Asus ZenWifi XT8 strangeness

    I can't speak for the 2.4 ghz bands as they in my case are really low priority. The testing I have done to date seemed to show I could get 50mbps fairly easy even with 12+ hours or more of uptime. I'm more worried about the 5 ghz bands. FWIW, since splitting the wifi network into three...

    Asus ZenWifi XT8 strangeness

    I assume you mean the reset where you place a pin into the reset hole at the bottom, hold until the amber light flashes and then leave it a bit, turn it off and then back on. That is at least the method I use unless you tell me there is another one which involves the WPS button instead. I do...

    Asus ZenWifi XT8 strangeness

    We recently purchased the XT8 which I have to admit I am not that impressed with based on current experiences. Firstly there appears to be no way to leave the router in full tri-band mode when use use ethernet to pipe data from one node to the next which simply does not make sense. Wireless...
