    Asus XT8 - Wireless Backhaul - Capping at 350Mbps on 160MHz/5GHz

    Anyway, channel 116 apparently is not the best channel (see image) as it might be affected by weather surveillance doppler radars. If there are no other wifi networks using the 5 GHz band, you could try setting 100 as the 5 GHz-2 channel.

    Asus XT8 - Wireless Backhaul - Capping at 350Mbps on 160MHz/5GHz

    XT8 LAN ethernet ports are 1 Gbps, so even if the 2000 Mbps backhaul link should be fully effective (but it's actually impossible for a wireless connection), the limiting factor would be the ports. As you can place the 2 XT8s near to each other, try connecting them with an ethernet cable and...

    Dual WAN & bridging modem

    I'm using 3 WANs, 2 with provider supplied modems that are required to create the PPPoE connections so to get the assigned Internet static IPs, and 1 failover 4G WAN using a 4G modem which as known doesn't support a PPPoE connection and even gets only private IP addresses from the carrier. So...

    Dual WAN & bridging modem

    From here it's not easy to understand how the ISP modem manages the 4G backup connection and how it could be possibly externally controlled by your Asus. If the ISP modem has internally all the logic for establishing a backup connection in case of main line dropout, maybe you could simply set...

    ZenWiFi XT8 5GHz-1 as backhaul

    You can disable 5GHz-1 and use 5GHz-2 as backhaul while at the same time letting also devices use this band for normal operation, like I do.

    AX86U Dual Wan / Load Balancing Concern

    I'm using my Asus router in AP mode and have a professional multiwan firewall/router, so I can only suggest some general settings. First, assign a static IP (outside the DHCP range) to your PC and set the preferred WAN for this IP (of course if your router has this type of dual wan options)...

    Why is 160Mhz WiFi 2100Mbps link is half the throughput of my gigabit 1000Mbps ethernet on LAN???

    How many external antennas have your desktop network card? If only one or two maybe its available MIMO configuration is not on par of your laptop antennas that are usually optimized for MIMO inside the latest notebooks with wifi 6E
