    ZEN WIFI Pro ET12 AIMesh (weird MAC address)

    Know you can't place much confidence in the icons used, but the one in your picture reminds me of a fitness tracker (like a FitBit or Apple watch or something similar). Just a thought . . .

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.24609

    @Dodgydrains - thanks for the heads up. Will monitor this thread and see if there are any surprises before jumping in on the update. Yep, not on the bleeding edge this time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.24609

    We're also running stock ASUS ver 3.0.0.4.388_23285 with one node. We are using 5GHz-2 backhaul and have SAMBA running with a SSD. Had to reboot the system once after 65 days. That was after I had tweaked device icons and devices in the network map. It was around then that the devices in the...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.24609

    Understand this update is for V1 units only. Even though I’m on HW V2, the system still shows there is an update available with the little flashing bell indicator on the webGUI. Checked the ASUS site (just in case) and did not find an update for V2 units. Is there any way to turn off/stop the...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285

    Had the same thing after about 60 days. Everything was working but I just wanted the Clients, View List, and Aimesh to update correctly. BTW - for me the device list updating stopped in both the webGUI and the Android app. Reboot cleared the problem in both :)

    I have had my fill of the XT8 ignoring the 5GHz-2 backhaul as an AiMesh node...

    Does GNUTONS fork run on XT8 Ver2 routers? We're running stock ASUS ver 3.0.0.4.388_23285 with one node. Had to reboot the system once after 65 days. That was after I had tweaked device icons and devices in the the network map stopped updating. Except for that, system has been pretty stable...

    RT-AX88U Pro v.s. RT-AX86U Pro

    Thanks bbunge for confirming this. Assume this works the same way on XT-8 system. Don't setup AiMesh often, but good to know. Due wonder -- The ASUS router Hard Factory Reset - Method 6 for the XT-8 (Ver 2) uses the WPS button. Hate to assume (we all know what that does) but must think the...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285

    Glad things are settling for you. Our systems have been running great for over 30 days now! We have each of our units on their own UPS Backup Battery Power Supply. Our old router and modem was on one and it really paid off. Most of our power lines are buried, but a vehicle did manage to...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.23285

    Replaced our old RT-AC68U with a set of these. We have been running on this version of firmware for over 30 days with no issues. No WAN or device drop outs, no intermittent re-boots, cell phones transfer as we walk through the property and, best of all, no dead zones. We have 500 MBs service...

    ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.7378

    Upgraded our RT-AC68U to .7378 today with no problems. Thought it was prudent considering the security fixes. Simply unmounted USB, updated firmware, rebooted router using GUI, remounted USB and everything looks good. Even the WPS setting stayed OFF, so not sure about WPS defaulting to ON...

    Random Phone's and Devices showing up on Network

    As AndreiV suggested. Turning WPS off on our RT-AC68U did the trick for us. Thought it was disabled but found it turned on after recent firmware upgrade. Could have been a cockpit error on our part....it's off now and no more mystery devices :-)

    ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.7266

    Our RT-AC68U seems to be stable after flashing to 3.0.0.4.380.7266….EXCEPT On three separate occasions there has been a strange device listed temporarily in the Windows 10 network. There is a brief description and MAC address listed for each device when it happens. BLU R1 HD phone – there has...

    ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.7266

    Flashed today without a hard-reset (just a reboot) and everything is looking good so far. The network tools are now working and the list of clients looks fine.

    having a problem with my RT-AC68U

    Hey pokee – are you still having the same problem? We are so decided to do the following troubleshooting steps – 1. Flashed our backup RT-AC68U from 3.0.0.4.380.4118 to 3.0.0.4.380.4164 2. Did a Factory Reset after firmware update. 3. Manually entered the minimum specific network...

    having a problem with my RT-AC68U

    Interesting. After reading your post I decided to run three test scenarios on our RT-AC68U – 1. Copied a 32MB file (via WiFi) to a USB3.0 drive plugged into our router. Router status page shows CPU Core 2 maxed out and virtually nothing on CPU Core 1. Re-ran the file transfers a few times...

    Recommended method for firmware update AC68U

    Our RT-AC68U was already running stock ASUS firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.4118 when we bought it. Looks like ASUS never officially released this version on their firmware site. At least I could not find it on their firmware pages and other posts here seem to support this. We upgraded to...

    Client Icon Questions

    See that there have been several lookers but few answers to some of the client icon questions. Yes, I know the client icons are little more than “eye candy” and don’t really impact router administration, but I did some limited testing just to satisfy my curiosity anyway. Here are the results –...

    Is 3.0.0.4.380.4164 Ready for Primetime on RT-AC68U?

    Thanks for advice. Now running .4164 with no problems. Agree that Network Tools are not critical for router use. Will just wait for next version and hope ASUS fixes them :-)
