    Any tips for maximizing 2.4 ghz range on an AX88U Pro to connect to outdoor surveillance camera?

    You might want to swap the camera rather than the router. If I recall correctly, the Ring Spotlight I used from the TMO modem/router traveled through 6 walls then out the bulilding. The distance from the exterior of the exterior of the building was well more than 40 feet.

    XT8 Drop outs

    I had drop outs with XT9s just set up. Turns out my Intel WIFI card (9000 series) was not compliant with AX. Turned off AX but left 160Mhz on and I am getting robust speeds (same as with AX on) but everything is stable. My card is the INTC 9560 and despite what ASUS claims it ain't compatible...

    Any tips for maximizing 2.4 ghz range on an AX88U Pro to connect to outdoor surveillance camera?

    How far is the cam from the router. I have used a the basic TMO Home Internet modem/ router in the middle of a decent sized rental unit to connect to a seperate garage and got no signal drop. Plaster walls everywhere and obstructions. I really think you need to to the mesh route. OR if you got...

    Ausus XT9 Question Regarding Firmware and Quirk

    The router can operate on non AX and still use 160Mhz. My WIFI card is AC but is also 160Mhz. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/99446/intel-wirelessac-9560/specifications.html Networking Specifications TX/RX Streams 2x2 Bands 2.4, 5 GHz (160 MHz) Max Speed 1.73 Gbps Wi-Fi...

    Ausus XT9 Question Regarding Firmware and Quirk

    Thank you very much for your insights. Much appeciated. I have that driver installed. With AX turned on, just had too many disconnects. The whole network ran very stably with it off. I later turned on 160Mhz (on the 1st 5Ghz band) given the 9560 does support that. The speed with it on was the...

    XT9s Firmware Version: 3.0.0.4.388.23285 (5/15/2023

    To add to my post, I did some serious Googling and came across a post in Taiwan where the user said the latest firmware had issues but was fixed by a server configuration issue (whatever that means) as claimed by ASUS. There was no further comment by the person. Had to Google Translate the whole...

    XT9s Firmware Version: 3.0.0.4.388.23285 (5/15/2023

    Thank you for sharing. I actually dont have any AX devices so had to turn that off. The system has been rock solid since then. Initially I think my Intel 9000 series WIFI card (non AX) was creating all kinds of problems. Am scared to update the firmware and upset stability. Its a shame. Am also...

    My XT9’s shipped with firmware v. 3.0.0.4.388.21429. Has anyone updated to the latest v. 3.0.0.4.388.23285 (5/15/2023) without issues????? Looks like this version is also used in the XT12s and XT8s. I have read success stories with those. Am wondering spefically if the XT9's when upgraded to...

    USB-AX56 WiFi Adapter - How to Use Both Bands Simultaneously?

    I have been looking at the adaptor. Initially considered NetGear but read on AMZN that is doesnt have 160MHz Channel Support, which my ASUS XT9 mesh does. Does the AX56 suppport 160Mhz? For background: 160MHz Channel Support: 60MHz is the highest bandwidth available on 5GHz routers. With double...

    Ausus XT9 Question Regarding Firmware and Quirk

    Thanks I discovered the issue is the Intel 9560 is the issue. Altough it was purported by Intel to be AX ready that was resprensented before standards were finalized. As it turns out Intel is currently stating it is not a compatible AX card. ASUS claims in an insert that upgrading the drivers...

    ASUS ZenWiFi AX6600 (XT8) loosing connection only on laptop

    In summary AX will work with the AC9560 and you will get fast throughput but at the expense of losing your Internet connection randomly. ASUS should not put that insert in the box. I dont have it in front of me but it was dated maybe mid-2022. Its disinginous for them to imply the Intel 9000...

    ASUS ZenWiFi AX6600 (XT8) loosing connection only on laptop

    Folks I ended up disabling the AX funtionality in the XT9's and no more drop outs. Ripshod is also right. The P43s WIFI card is soldered so whereas it would be an easy cheap upgrade, it ain't possible for me. For those looking into this, the P52s and T480 are upgradeable.

    ASUS ZenWiFi AX6600 (XT8) loosing connection only on laptop

    In a special insert in the packaging ASUS recommded a driver update, which I have exceeded. However, in line with what you said, on the Intel site, they lists cards compatible with WIFI 6 and 6E. They use the words currently compatible. Not sure if its forced obsolescence but my card was not...

    ASUS ZenWiFi AX6600 (XT8) loosing connection only on laptop

    I jsut installed some new XT9's and seein the same issue you are. My laptop is a ThinkPad P43s (2019) running W11 Pro. What is strange is I have a Thinkpad X201 (2010) W10 Pro that does not experience this issue. In fact making adjustments to the router from the X210, the P43s will go offlne but...

    XT9 mesh issues - strong wifi signal but no data transfer

    I'm no networking expert but they work better when they are at the same level. The antenna broadcast radiates in a donut or oval shape. If they are on differrent floors it wont perfom as well as on the same floor. Do you have coaxial cabling in your home? Coisider a wired backhaul using MoCA...
