    Asus XT8 - latest firmware 04Nov21 - 3.0.0.4.386_45934

    Wow you’re getting close to 200 Mbs more than I am at my wired node test. I’m averaging about 420-435 at the nodes and 635 at the router. Going to try another factory reset tonight and maybe swap the router out with a node.

    Asus XT8 - latest firmware 04Nov21 - 3.0.0.4.386_45934

    Much appreciated. I'll give the 'stay in place' method another shot. The first and second time, I had to bring them closer together in order to connect them. I am using the wireless backhaul, so maybe that's my issue. Are you still running ethernet backhaul via MoCa? Still considering that...

    Asus XT8 - latest firmware 04Nov21 - 3.0.0.4.386_45934

    Thanks for the suggestion Roger, as always :). Is there an easier way of re-setting up the network after the factory reset? I hate having to bring the nodes back down to the main router to connect them each time, I keep my settings/config file updated, but any tricks you use for when the reset...

    Asus XT8 - latest firmware 04Nov21 - 3.0.0.4.386_45934

    Hey all, Curious if anyone has tried out the latest firmware from Asus for the XT8 mesh system: 3.0.0.4.386_45934. I recently tried the one before this but received some disconnects from my smart plugs/IOT devices, so I rolled back to ole faithful 3.0.0.4.386_42095-g30cf4ad. Upon going back to...

    The Asus ZenWiFi AX XT8 is a POS, right?

    And I have the exact opposite problem due to the issues the router has with using my fiber connection...sigh. I can get 800-900 up but my download is only around 450-500 wired via the router on 1 gig fiber. I did however get it in a stable state, although less than what I would expect to see...

    Asus XT8 Suddenly Slow speeds on all firmware

    So I pulled the trigger and ordered a Netgear Orbi AX6000. I have to say I was quite excited to get it set up and going...and then suddenly realized how limited that system really is. I was quite shocked that I was not able to separate the 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands. I thought that was a basic...

    ASUS ZenWifi AX XT8 Setup

    I can attest to this as well. I have 17 iterations of a support ticket opened with Asus and all they keep asking for is a time in which they can call, (I have provided but no-one ever does), and for me to fill out the feedback form. I am going to try the Netgear Orbi 853 since I found one open...

    Asus XT8 Suddenly Slow speeds on all firmware

    Thanks RogerSC, I have reverted back to 42095 and factory restored when this occurred on July 16th. I will give it another shot with the 160MHz disabled on my backhaul, although I think the issue is separate from wireless settings. My wireless is almost consistent with the speed that is being...

    Asus XT8 Suddenly Slow speeds on all firmware

    Yeah, I'm starting to feel the same way. I have 11 sub-tickets with Asus support on this matter and they just keep saying the same thing over and over; We are looking into this issue to determine any additional troubleshooting that may resolve this issue. They don't seem to care honestly. I...

    Asus XT8 Suddenly Slow speeds on all firmware

    I have done the wired ethernet test while all nodes except the router were off and even turned off the router for a while and still am pulling 450 down at 550-650 up. I am at a loss.

    Asus XT8 Suddenly Slow speeds on all firmware

    I have used multiple speed tests (although they are online and one ISP owned one) and get about the same results from each (Fast.com; SpeedTest, ATMC Highspeed). I will try turning off the additional nodes to see if that helps with the connection. I feel as though there is some type of...

    Asus XT8 Suddenly Slow speeds on all firmware

    Hi all, Have been researching this issue for over a week now, as of last friday July 16th, my Asus ZenWifi XT8 system (1 XT8 router, 3 XT8 nodes, wireless backhaul) went from the web GUI stating 900/900 on average down to 450/450. I have reverted back to previous versions of the firmware as...

    Release Asus XT8 - 3.0.0.4.386.43181 - 2021/06/17

    Hi RogerSC, I was thinking about doing the backhaul via MoCa, how is this working out for you? I have 3 nodes and router, all XT8, so I would love to open that second 5GHz-2, but was advised that the degradation on the MoCa backhaul could create some traffic issues. I'd love to hear if this is...
