    Can anyone help with a couple of problems with an XT8 Mesh system? Issues with connectivity and client list and question about SSH command line.

    The wifi connection is showed as 1 to 4 bars in the network map -> list and in the device details available in the AiMesh screen. The full information about the device connections is available in the System Log - Wireless Log, which IMO is easier and more practical to use than checking one...

    Can anyone help with a couple of problems with an XT8 Mesh system? Issues with connectivity and client list and question about SSH command line.

    This usually happens for all wired devices that are always reported as connected to the main router. Did you look for RSSI in the System Log - Wireless Log ?

    New XT8 system. Suddenly unable to change device names. Any ideas?

    Many problems of identifying (and naming) devices might come from the wifi MAC address randomization option in the privacy settings of the device. Android devices apparently have this option enabled by default.

    4 pcs of XT8

    I believe that an XT8 used as main router has stability problems with wireless backhaul connected nodes. I tested all the available firmware versions since 2021 with not significant improvements in the wireless backhaul stability. So eventually I replaced tha main router. You could check if all...

    4 pcs of XT8

    The problems with wireless backhaul connected XT8s is the main router XT8. I had the same problem with 6 XT8s (3 on wireless backhaul) . I switched to a GT-AX11000 Pro as the main router and in the latest 3 months I had no further wireless XT8s disconnection.

    Strange Mesh behavier on 2.4GHz wifi?

    I have some experience with changing this setting and using various 2.4 GHz devices (ex. small IoT devices). In my case I discovered that if one device is not able to get a connection better than that DB value, it sometimes might eventually become offline and need to be rebooted.

    Adding RT-AX86U pro or AX11000 pro to existing setup

    Seamless Roaming is only supported under the use of Omada Controllers, and requires that clients need to support 802.11k/v and may require additional set up. Performance may vary depending on the client device. https://www.tp-link.com/us/business-networking/ceiling-mount-access-point/eap245/...

    XT8 - Best firmware for V2 Hardware? Is this the source of all my issues?

    Unfortunately in my case any gnuton release made no difference in backhaul stability (AP mode).

    Asus ZenWIFI XT8 AX6600, Wired Backhaul and Unmanaged Switch question

    If you are using the main XT8 in AP mode, you can use any 2.5 Gbps unmanaged/managed switch to interconnect all your XT8 nodes (even the main XT8 can use its 2.5 Gbps port in AP mode). I connect my AiMesh network in this way. Otherwise, if your main XT8 is in router mode, you can use any 1 Gbps...

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

    As I'm using the AiMesh in AP mode, no VPN settings are available on the main node. To connect to Internet I use a business grade VPN multiwan firewall/router.

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

    I originally had a 6 nodes AiMesh network (AP mode, 1 main XT8 and 5 XT8 nodes, mixed wired and wireless backhaul). Tired of backhaul instability regardless of any firmware version, about 6 months ago I replaced the XT8 main node with a GT-AX11000 Pro. Since then all backhauls are stable and...

    ZenWiFi XT8 as AiMesh node - how to select 5GHz-1 channel?

    In my XT8 Mesh with wireless backhaul, on laptops with 160 MHz AX wifi card I have set their wifi cards to connect directly to the backhaul network, with no problems using this connection for these clients.:)
