    RT-AX89X Reset?

    My unit arrived August 10th 2020, after waiting 6 weeks for delivery. I had planned to get a replacement for defective Zenwifi units for mesh nodes but just saved myself $400 bucks by using my GT-AC5300 as the mesh node since I did not have time to fix wired back haul for the two Zenwifi units...

    RT AX89X DNS Issue with Firmware 3.0.0.4.386.22790

    I have been having spurious network disconnects with iPad, iPhone, Mac Book Pro, Nest Devices and Wemo IOT devices. I have an RT AX89X with 3.0.0.4.386.22790 firmware and a GT AC5300 AI Mesh node with 3.0.0.4.384.82037 firmware connected by Ethernet backhaul. Given the problems got worse...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    I had an XT8 that did that, it turns out that the router had crashed, in the event that the router rebooted and the XT8 mesh node did not always reconnect to the primary XT8 router. This happened multiple times, and at times the primary router just hung, which required a hard reboot of both XT8...

    RT-AX89X 3.0.0.4.386.22790 observations

    there was a comment in another thread about the fan speed settings, setting to high alleviated the problem, my unit seems to have the fan at full speed on Auto regardless of the temperature I guess I am not sensitive to the fan noise, so this high speed setting is not a problem for me

    Is There Any Known Compatibility Issues with SFP+ on RT-AX89X?

    I am using a 10Gtek "10GBase-T SFP+ Transceiver" connected to a Netgear GS110MX 10G port with no problems. I also connected the SFP+ port directly to my Synology NAS with a 10Gb PCI card, again with no problems. I also tried connecting to a 1Gb switch which worked, but shows a 10Gb link in the...

    RT-AX89X 3.0.0.4.386.22790 observations

    I also have this problem with multiple Wemo/Belkin switches, it seems to happen when the 2.4GHz channel changes, and sometimes resolves itself over time. However I can see all of the devices in Wemo APP. I switched all of my Wemo devices to Google Home, and I have not seen any issues with Google...

    I had all the same problems with the ZenWifi AX, i returned them after the tops started to delaminate and replaced them with the RT-AX89X which just works, and allows me to connect my old GT-AC5300 as a mesh node. if you are getting network disconnects, then you need to look at the router...

    Setting up an Extra AP with Asus's XT8

    I am presuming that one of the ZenWifi XT8’s will be the primary router as that would be required to set up the second ZenWiFi XT8 as an AI mesh node. If the Cisco unit is hardwired to the primary router, it will work as an access point, however it will not be part of the smart connect handoff...

    Just got my XT8- questions

    I returned my Zenwifi AX units, as I had lots of issues with the primary router going off line. I was able to get the rated backhaul from the mesh node to the Router. I found that the majority of wireless devices were connected to the Router, even when the device was nearer to the mesh node. The...

    Asus GT-AC5300: Falsely reports not connected to internet and can't update time

    I would suggest that you update to the latest firmware for GT-AC5300 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.384.82037. I updated yesterday and after a second restart found that my Speedtest was showing download speed that was appropriate to the service I am paying for.
