    Asus XT8 Major WiFi Issues

    Have you tried taking everything else out of the equation? i.e. All of your XT8's set to AiMesh. The one that gets designated as router (Still AiMesh) connected direct to your modem with a normal ethernet cable.

    Asus Zenwifi Xt8 issues.

    No visual traffic on the backhaul is a known bug on the web and app interface. If you are connected to the node and have internet access then the backhaul is working. If you have a white light on the router and node it is working in 5ghz or ethernet (5g-2 is reserved for backhaul even if...

    Asus Zenwifi Xt8 issues.

    Read review in my sig. The wifi analyser 80mhz is a false reading. Get latest version of Inssider instead. 5ghz 2 will always be used for backhaul. But you can allow clients to connect to it. I think you have to turn smart connect off though.

    Is there a way to force more channel selections in 5Ghz?

    Indeed. I had the same issue where the backaul on the XT8 was limited to 100-140 and 36-64 was not available. Just a simple change and I wouldn't have had to send £400 worth of mesh back to retailer. Or they could have implemented 80+80 to avoid channel 124 (weather radar) I'm now waiting on...

    Is there a way to force more channel selections in 5Ghz?

    Your question has been answered. There is no legal way around DFS until Canada (Or any country that uses DFS) relaxes the restrictions. For this reason living near a Radar, I returned my XT8 until they release the Wifi 6E version. Even ASUS own technical support on here said 160mhz on 5ghz band...

    ZenWifi XT8 vs RT-AX86U

    Have to agree. Review in my sig.

    Is there a way to force more channel selections in 5Ghz?

    All wireless devices have to comply with local laws. To that end laptop manufacturers restrict which wifi cards you can use (whitelisting) I had the ZenWiFi_XT8 which had DFS issues. I managed to hack it to illegally use DFS channels knowing a local weather radar was disabling channel 124...

    ZenWifi LED light?...

    One thing worth pointing out for anyone considering buying this. The node will not turn red when the router loses Internet connection.

    Is there a way to force more channel selections in 5Ghz?

    I understand that. But normally other countries try to follow suit for compatability. Ofcom. The UK regulator always looks what other countries are doing when they make changes.

    Is there a way to force more channel selections in 5Ghz?

    Legal way no. Other ways maybe. I had read something about FCC or similar removing some restrictions on DFS back in April. however Ofcom approved channels years ago that Asus still blocked on the ZenWiFi_XT8...

    asus ax xt8 slow download of node when using 5ghz uplink

    Does it not give a speed? Maybe that is only the beta firmware.

    Release XT8 New Firmware 3.0.0.4.386_25790

    https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wireless/ZenWiFi_XT8/FW_ZENWIFI_XT8_300438625790.zip Well it is there. Just no readme. Does it not say in the popup on the router?

    A tip for new iOS14/iPadOS14/MacOS 11/Watch OS 7 users.

    If that was directed at me then 1. They would need to copy a trusted MAC. 2. They would need to know the password. Both feasible if someone really wanted to put the effort in. But you can say that about anything. Yes I'd rather we used certificates, but 1. Not all devices support them. 2. And...

    A tip for new iOS14/iPadOS14/MacOS 11/Watch OS 7 users.

    Indeed. Had issues with this the other day at work as we use MAC authentication for mobile devices. Devices upgrading to iOS 14 then not connecting to WiFi. We are looking at MDM to push a rule to disable this "feature" Apple kindly thrust upon us (Not the first time). Only issue is a lot of...

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

    Turn your router off then on again or manually pick a channel like 124 and see if the WiFi log shows a channel disabled. Because once it is barred it will not show in wifi log unless you've made a channel change in last 30 mins.

    RT-AX56U leaves DFS channels without reporting any radar events

    IIRC WDS does give a warning before enabling. However, I would point out that radar pings causing DFS to shut down a channel wouldn't always show up in my system log on my XT8. What you can try doing is turning the router off and on again and look in the wireless log for a DFS event. See my...
