    Release ASUS ZenWIFI XT12 Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_35186 (2024/07/12)

    I would suggest to go back to the previous firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24177. I think was a good version. It seems like firmware breaks and then goes back to normal. Back in the day, the Internet Would just work on routers and modems but now maybe there’s too many options and getting good...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT12 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22127

    Hi L&LD, I have much appreciation for your comments since I have seen you here for a a few years now. I am not sure if your statement about Asus not having infinite resources came out as pure analysis or if you were bothered. However, from the Asus router that I owned before, they would get...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT12 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22127

    It’s August 2023 and Asus has not provided an update of the firmware for the XT12’s. This is quite unusual as the product was released last year. Anyone know if there is an update coming?

    Asus Zenwifi ET12 Pro with GT-AX6000 wireless aimesh combo?

    Hi, What is the best way to aimesh wirelessly, or make the ET 12 work well wirelessly with the GT-Ax6000? I just came into a free ET 12 unit and Rog Gt-ax6000 at a bargain price. I understand it may be a better match with an Asus tri-band unit but I really like the GT-Ax6000. Since my house...

    Issues with latest Blue Cave firmware?

    The release online says this version is a Beta. Would it be taking a risk on the router? Thanks

    How many cable runs per room for new construction?

    Interesting views on cable runs. I hope I can run just one cable for my home but wireless performs about the same for my use cases. If I build a home, I would definitely consider the two cable approach as suggested. However, I wouldn’t see a use for four, but hey, never say never.

    News Samsung Announces Wi-Fi 6E 5G phone

    Omg, phones are the one thing that devalue so much. Long haul, I’ll stick with Apple, even if it’s 3 plus years old like someone here they own a iphoje. Android is like the Windows of phone operating systems, IMO. wifi 6E on a phone is overkill unless your needs are so demanding but for that...

    Where do you go for router reviews?

    For router recommendations, I come here and look at reviews online, SNB being the most legitimate from what I can as there are actual measurements, results, comparison and the whole jazz, instead of "This router is a definite go, pound for pound, its a must get" and "if you are a gamer and want...

    Will you be doing new reviews?

    Hi Thiggins, now that a year has passed, will you be doing any reviews on AX routers from the current new releases to see if anything has changed?

    Issues with latest Blue Cave firmware?

    When is support for this router expected to stop? This thing does heat up. I bought a fan and put it behind it as some people on antoher snb forum have suggested. I am not sure if performance is better, it feels slightly better, but the bottom line, is that now I am not worried it will over...

    Issues with latest Blue Cave firmware?

    Honestly, I haven’t contacted ASUS for any of the issues with this router. SNB forums has more help, lol. Or I should say, I prefer reading for 45 minutes and seeing the jokes that people crack from time to time as opposed to me being on the phone with a representative, whom for whatever reason...

    Issues with latest Blue Cave firmware?

    I am not sure what Asus did but they upgraded in the firmware and then broke something along the way. Since, I don’t have auto restarts, once I get it going I leave the router as is. However, it is a troublesome when I have restart both of my router & modem, and troubleshoot them to get them in...

    Asus Blue Cave - FW 3.0.0.4_384_46417

    Just made the update and the modem won’t like to the router for whatever reason. Did you find a solution to your issue?

    Asus Blue Cave - FW 3.0.0.4_384_46417

    I just saw the new update for the firmware version xxx.46468. Should I update the firmware or wait? I resolved the modem issue where I got a red light on the router and the router wasn’t connecting to the internet. This appears to be what you mean about the about the WAN issues. At this point...

    Asus Blue Cave - FW 3.0.0.4_384_46417

    I read this solution on another thread but I can’t tell whether you have the same issue. Some of the description of the issue has typos/missing words. Here it is, try this? DHCP query frequency" -> "Normal Extend the TTL value -> Yes Spoof LAN TTL value-> "Yes I believe those are in the wan...

    Asus Blue Cave - FW 3.0.0.4_384_46417

    Hi OE and Grisu, apologies on not being clear. The witless download speeds are usually between 400 to 450 mbps on Speedtest.net. The wireless upload speed is between 16 and 17 mbps. These speeds are without running the VPN on my PC. The PC has i5- 8th gen intel, 8350 or 8650 I believe and 16...

    Asus Blue Cave - FW 3.0.0.4_384_46417

    Hi OzarkEdge and Grisu, The VPN is on my computer. I did more research after I posted this. From what I saw the router has VPN capabilities but they must be activated, and I haven’t messed with any VPN settings. So do I need a better modem/wireless card in my computer to make it go faster? So...

    Your ISP's DHCP does not function correctly

    I just solved this issue by unplugging the modem for about 30 seconds, and then waiting a few minutes so it's fully up and running. I then plugged in my router and it came up connected. I believe someone in the thread that the router boots up quicker than the modem, and even though the modem...
