    Solved Wireguard Server not allowing access to Intranet even though selected

    Thanks for coming back. Much appreciated. 1. ZenWiFi AX XT8 2. No - just the single Wireguard VPN tunnel 3. Cable Modem on 192.168.100.1 (modem mode - no firewall), then into Asus Router on 192.168.50.1 which is in router mode. 4. I can't seem to access anything in my local network when VPN'ed...

    Solved Wireguard Server not allowing access to Intranet even though selected

    Could someone ELI5 on this issue? I am also still having VPN Intranet access issues when using Wireguard. My router is 192.168.100.1, and my ZEN Wifi is on a 192.168.50.X LAN. I have a few devices I want to be able to access when out and about, namely things like Homebridge. I would also like...

    ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21617 (2022/11/21)

    To be fair to ASUS, there are a lot of things that us consumers miss. Firstly it is worth remembering that in Europe, many of us have much thicker walls rendering wireless backhaul problematic at best. Physics can’t overcome this without breaching regulatory signal level maximums, especially in...

    ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21617 (2022/11/21)

    My experience with this firmware has been very good, especially compared to the last version which had the red flashing node issue and overall drop outs. Despite a dirty upgrade, I’ve not had any issues however a few months back I did manage to run Ethernet cabling around house around the joists...

    XT8 in Access Point mode with Red LED

    On the other thread discussing the October 2022 firmware, quite a few of us have reported the red flashing on the access points as well as general hanging after a few days on the router. Clearly the latest firmware series is not particularly stable, and the lights are not indicating correctly...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.21099 (2022/10/03 )

    21099 also problematic for me, despite hard wired backhaul. The deeded flashing red nodes and sometimes dropped internet but with no flashing LEDs. Trying to decide whether to roll back or wait for the potential upcoming release.

    Old antenna coax for MoCA

    I did a whole lot of continuity testing today and sadly the three runs of cable I have don’t meet. I also can’t see where two terminate. I now understand why the previous owners ran some new cable to a dish to support Freesat rather than deal with what must have been a bad coax situation. Added...

    Old antenna coax for MoCA

    Excactly the info I was looking for. will ensure the caps are placed on.

    Old antenna coax for MoCA

    Autocorrect issue - Wi-Fi. Cost not an issue and definitely not for consideration in this situation. It’s more about providing a reliable way to make things work in a dead zone serviceable by coax.

    Old antenna coax for MoCA

    Actually whilst it might be rare, the parts are all available on Amazon UK and various other suppliers, so it is definitely here. I’d never use it on Virgin Media cable, but normal antenna coax I would not hesitate.

    Old antenna coax for MoCA

    We have just moved into an old house in the UK which has old antenna coax going around the house and want to use that to feed MoCA signals to save running Ethernet around the place. My current wife backhaul is not really fit for purpose and it only takes a moment for a device to lose...

    Merlin Firmware For XT8 ZenWifi?

    I should also add that I do regularly come to this forum so I am hardly a novice user @Tech9 . :)

    Merlin Firmware For XT8 ZenWifi?

    I have tested it and I am reporting very good results. If you look at this thread, I actually asked people about this above several times but heard nothing. With that in mind, I am reporting good results.

    Merlin Firmware For XT8 ZenWifi?

    To be fair to me, I did do a full factory reset and put on the usual Asuswrt firmware first, but after a day of disconnections and other strange issues, I decided to take the full plunge into Merlin. I should also state that with each version I do a full hardware reset, so I am very used to...

    Merlin Firmware For XT8 ZenWifi?

    OK. After a lot of problems particularly with my IoT devices as well as a few sync issues between my collection of 3 x XT8 devices, I have taken the plunge and installed Merlin. IMHO, it is definitely a step up and I don't think I will ever go back to the main releases. Merlin definitely seems...

    Any updates? Anyone bothered to try this out yet?

    Merlin Firmware For XT8 ZenWifi?

    Now that Merlin exists for the XT8, what are people's experiences? Looking potentially at switching over, but want to hear from others first.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.46061 (2022/01/14)

    Are there specific devices falling off? I know in my case my IoT network (2.4) needs to be very basic with everything on very basic vanilla settings or many of those devices lose connectivity. Non l-IoT devices stick to the 5.1 and 5.2 networks depending on whether they are ac or ax devices. I...

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.46061 (2022/01/14)

    Have you tried a WPS method reset and a new manual setup?

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386.46061 (2022/01/14)

    I personally initially did a dirty update so the file that was downloaded was via the updater tool. That said, I reverted to WPS reset method when mDNS issues continued to appear. Reverting solved those issues which for IoT is important in our house. I can only see one firmware file listed on...
