    Zenwifi XT8 Node Ethernet Issues

    I'm already using the backhaul from node as a 160 MHz bandwidth network (hidden with WPA3 encryption). I was asking about the front haul from router; open discussion to all. I believe it's speculative in nature. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

    Zenwifi XT8 Node Ethernet Issues

    I don't have gigabit speeds but the 5G-2 network at 160 MHz bandwidth gives my phone subscribed speeds most everywhere, including my yard. I don't drop 5G on my property. This gets the 5G conversation going for me. More device makers need to transition to 5G or multi band and leave congested...

    Zenwifi XT8 Node Ethernet Issues

    Is the quick connect guide incorrect for Ethernet backhaul? It guides user through wireless backhaul setup. I did that, moved the node farther away where I wanted to use wired backhaul but it didn't work for me either. I factory reset the node to start over but saw the Ethernet wiring diagram...

    ZenWifi XT8 AX Access Problem

    My Harmony hub in the living room kept disconnecting from my Orbi. I had a spare hub to try but same result. I had already moved my router and satellite from the Orbi RBK50 closer to the ring cameras to keep those connected. No happy placing had me looking for a better setup. Happier with the...

    ZenWifi XT8 AX Access Problem

    I don't use qos either. Smart Connect is enabled. AX is disabled; runs in mixed AC mode or WiFi 5 and below. 2.4G is set to channel 1 by WiFi analytics but @ 20 MHz bandwidth as many in this forum suggest (channel 1, 6 or 11 at 20 MHz. This is sufficient for my ring floodlight camera outside on...

    ZenWifi XT8 random crash of node

    I also had a situation where the IP portal on an Ethernet connected PC via MoCa 2.0 Ethernet adapter lost the router along with the node on Ethernet backhaul via another MoCa adapter. Though Ethernet connected devices to router continued to work. Mystery why the MoCa net and WiFi devices were...

    ZenWifi XT8 random crash of node

    I think we can agree the blinking blue light on node means it's syncing with router. However, there are times that multiple reboots on node won't sync it with the router. In that case, the router needs to be rebooted to find the node. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

    Mesh setup for a 3 floor concrete house and 1gig internet

    Yep. I've fished Ethernet through walls, attic and along walls in previous single story dwellings. It's no picnic. But my current dwelling is 2 story with low attic overhang. No one wants to get in the attic to run wires and exterior wires are unsightly and may not last unless ran through pipe...

    Mesh setup for a 3 floor concrete house and 1gig internet

    Ethernet not possible? Ever heard of MoCa- Ethernet over coax? Cable TV and Internet are likely compatible with it. If you've got coax in your home, it's possible you can have Ethernet on the same wall port as the coax, even extend to multiple devices with an Ethernet switch. And even a mesh...

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

    Does the factory reset require bringing the two nodes close together to pair again? I'm not even sure this was required or not but using the quick guide wasn't helpful when using wired backhaul. What I found myself doing was reset and bringing them close together but pair with the Ethernet...

    Zen WiFi XT8 AX

    Nothing like trying this yourself, right? I did. No impact on performance that I've yet to notice. I have ring cameras outside. Went back to each one and pulled up live view quick enough; the health reports are virtually the same as before, right now. Ran a speed test on my phone; I got ISP...

    Zen WiFi XT8 AX

    WiFi Eco mode? Any thoughts on this? I've read that reducing power may actually help older type routers but does the XT8 already reduce individual streams as needed? I ask because I thought maybe reducing power or even using this Eco setting may increase the life expectancy of this WiFi 6...
