    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285

    Surely you have only had a stable connection for 24hrs not 64 days as you are rebooting the unit at 03:00 every morning (not a bad idea if the firmware is buggy)?

    AX11000 (Two of them Overkill?)

    I have them as AiMesh nodes and they are working fine. Fifty odd devices connected including CCTV cameras and Smart Switches. Sonos system connected. The GTAX11000 is doing the work the XT8s are just nodes.

    AX11000 (Two of them Overkill?)

    I have a GT AX11000 with two XT8s all running Merlin/gNU and they work reliably and very well.

    Wireless > Site Survey not detecting any 5Ghz signal after upgrading to 386.5_2 version

    On my GT-AX11000 the Site Survey only shows my routers signal on both bands and nothing else!

    SONOS problems with XT8

    My configuration has changed. I have GT-AX11000 as main unit running Merlin's firmware and the two XT8s as Nodes running the Merlin Fork. Looking at the XT8 forks SMB settings I believe that set to SMB1 the index would work ok as it does on the GT-AX11000 the implementation looks identical...

    SONOS problems with XT8

    Asuswrt-Merlin is now 10 years old!

    Amazing achievement by one individual. My old N66u was 100% reliable (I have still got it as backup) after loading your firmware, I remember your firmware cured a Sonos issue everyone was having. Now I have your firmware running on my GT-AX11000 with two XT8 nodes running a fork of your firmware...

    Sonos Problems

    Sure enough after purchasing a GT-AX11000 and trying to index the library it failed. Uploaded Merlin's firmware and hey presto it indexed ok. What is the magic difference between ASUS and Merlin's SMB1 implementation?

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 is now available

    Not had any issues with 5ghz on my AX11000 with Merlin Firmware. I am using two XT8s in AiMesh also without issue. The only bug I can see is WiFi Site Survey is not working - only showing the routers channel.

    XT8 WAN drops (3.0.0.4.386_46061)

    Thank you for your reply but I gave up and bought a GT-AX11000 and installed Merlin's firmware. I have used the XT8s as Nodes.

    XT8 WAN drops (3.0.0.4.386_46061)

    It is strange - almost like the TV coming on wakes up the port. Does not happen on the N66u.

    XT8 WAN drops (3.0.0.4.386_46061)

    I have wondered whether all the Ethernet ports on this router don't drop from time to time. For example my Sony AF9 TV is connected by ethernet and when the TV is brought out of standby I briefly I get the message "ethernet not connected" flash up on the screen. This does not happen using my old...

    Sonos Problems

    Does anyone know of an Asus WiFi6 router model (probably one where Merlin has tweaked the firmware) that is capable of indexing a large (42k tracks - approx 400gb) S2 Sonos external drive successfully and is capable of utilising two XT8 nodes with 5ghz backhaul as an AiMesh? I use Sonos in...

    SONOS problems with XT8

    The disk works fine on Win 10. Sonos S2 will not index the disk on the XT8 if the contents are over a certain size (7gb) as stated in a prior post. However the RT-N66u will allow the index to work. The Sonos S2 System (I am using Sonosnet) does not sit happily on the XT8 with all sorts of...

    SONOS problems with XT8

    My XT8 Mesh System will not index (I get the same drive disconnected error) my 400odd GByte USB hard disc on S2. I dug out my old faithful Asus RT-N66u with Merlin Firmware and sure enough it will index the drive. Something not right on the XT8 SMB1 implementation I deduce? Sonos support could...

    Release Asus ZenWiFi XT8 - New Firmware: 3.0.0.4.386_45934

    I think it very much depends on what you are connecting to your router. If it was not for my wife's work VOIP phone I could be on that latest firmware as well.
