    2.4 GHz wifi connected devices disconnect and..

    When you say that are not using the "smart network feature of the AX", do you mean that have disabled also the "802.11ax / WiFi 6 mode" in the wireless 2.4 settings? If not, try disabling it.

    XT8 Packet Loss Wired Mesh - Using as Access Points Only

    If you are using all the 4 XT8s as access points I suppose you have set 4 different SSIDs.... Or are using 1 of the XT8s as a main node and the other 3 as mesh nodes? Anyway try resetting the problematic XT8 to factory and set up it again.

    Desperate need for help, packet loss on Asus ax11000, no solution.

    One note: he posted: So apparently it's not (only) a Pingplotter problem.

    Adding XT8 to the mesh with ethernet connection - blinking blue led

    You probably can't daisy chain the nodes. I use a switch in between and for me this solution works perfectly.

    Single AX (88 or 86) vs Tri Band (xt8/9/ax11000) For Coverage?

    As wifi signal seems poor from basement to upstairs due to the building fabric (and this will probably apply to any wifi type connection, even AX), consider also a possible Powerline connection between basement (the main router) and upstairs (a mesh satellite).

    Asus AiMesh Node static IP assignement

    In my experience with 3 wired XT8 nodes with backhaul set to "2.5G WAN first" , even if the cable/switch is disconnected, anyway the nodes switch to the wireless backhaul. In this case the key is "Backhaul Connection Priority" and the word "first"...

    I'm running firmware v. 3.0.0.4.388.24198 on a European AX11000Pro and can select/deselect "Auto select channel including DFS channels". See:

    Zenwifi XT8 upgrade?

    Anyway, this method works perfectly in my 5 XT nodes mesh setup. My wifi 6 AX 160 MHz laptops and phones can connect up to 1200 Mbps to the nodes. And if a wifi 6 AX device is wirelessly connected to one of my nodes that can take advantage of the wired backhaul (in my case running at 2.5Gbps)...

    Zenwifi XT8 upgrade?

    If needed, the 5GHz-2 wifi actually can be used also to connect AX wifi devices while still being used for backhaul.

    Dual WAN not giving me double the bandwidth

    I use a non-Asus router/firewall as main router. In my router the load balance has 2 option that can be configured: - per session - per address If per session is used, no spreading of traffic between the 2 WANs can be done. If per address is used, speedtest.net using the Multi option actually...

    Did you performed the speed test selecting the option "Multi" (https://www.speedtest.net/)?

    Can anyone help with a couple of problems with an XT8 Mesh system? Issues with connectivity and client list and question about SSH command line.

    The wifi connection is showed as 1 to 4 bars in the network map -> list and in the device details available in the AiMesh screen. The full information about the device connections is available in the System Log - Wireless Log, which IMO is easier and more practical to use than checking one...

    Can anyone help with a couple of problems with an XT8 Mesh system? Issues with connectivity and client list and question about SSH command line.

    This usually happens for all wired devices that are always reported as connected to the main router. Did you look for RSSI in the System Log - Wireless Log ?

    New XT8 system. Suddenly unable to change device names. Any ideas?

    Many problems of identifying (and naming) devices might come from the wifi MAC address randomization option in the privacy settings of the device. Android devices apparently have this option enabled by default.

    4 pcs of XT8

    I believe that an XT8 used as main router has stability problems with wireless backhaul connected nodes. I tested all the available firmware versions since 2021 with not significant improvements in the wireless backhaul stability. So eventually I replaced tha main router. You could check if all...

    4 pcs of XT8

    The problems with wireless backhaul connected XT8s is the main router XT8. I had the same problem with 6 XT8s (3 on wireless backhaul) . I switched to a GT-AX11000 Pro as the main router and in the latest 3 months I had no further wireless XT8s disconnection.
