    Asus ZenWifi XT8 - All on 1 node

    Try this: Power off all three routers. Go to the primary and power it back up. Let it come completely back up, then go to the next node and power it up. Let it come completely up. Go to the last node and power up. Once it is up (steady white light), go back to your app and see if they now...

    4th Time Resetting XT8 and ET8 combo to factory settings

    Because it sees a stronger signal from that node. To work around this, you can "force" that node to connect to the primary by rebooting the node it is currently connected to. While that node is rebooting, your wayward node will seek another backhaul connection and should connect to the...

    4th Time Resetting XT8 and ET8 combo to factory settings

    The only reliable way to mix the ET8 and XT8 devices is via wired backhaul to ALL nodes. The wireless backhaul is incompatible due to the ET8 using WIFI 6 while the XT8 uses the 5Ghz band. Wiring all your nodes will improve your stability. And yes, as a few others have noticed, you have...

    AiMesh Node Uplink Selection

    I'm baffled as well as to why you would downgrade from Ubiquiti to AiMesh. What problems were you having with your prior network that prompted the switch to Asus?

    ASUS xt mesh system questions

    If you want a sanity check on the Wi-Fi status of the XT-8 Node that your PC refuses to connect to, try binding your PC to that node and then check your up/down speeds. As Tech9 previously said, you likely do have too many nodes, but I understand your logic of adding more nodes to serve those...

    features missing when in ap mode

    Wow dude, that kind of attitude on this site almost guarantees that no one is going to want to help you. In the future, may I suggest you type your replies, and don't click "post reply". Instead, take a break for 10 minutes or so, then come back, read your reply and then see if you really want...

    Help debricking XT8 node

    I had the exact same problem with a 3 node XT8 set purchased off of e-Bay. Two good ones, one with the same symptoms as yours. That node is in a Mississippi landfill somewhere around here. There is no fix.

    Plex Pass though to IOT Network

    What I meant by adding a layer 3 device is to add either another router, or (preferably) a Layer 3 switch (which will route) and put all of the other private network on it. This will allow the two networks to talk to each other while still allowing the security you are looking for. Honestly...

    Plex Pass though to IOT Network

    My recommendation is to scratch one of the private networks and separate your IoT from your regular network using VLANs and then use VLAN tagging to enable Plex to talk to the TV. If you absolutely insist on the need for a second address space, then you will have to add a Layer 3 device to the...

    What is the cost of 1gb plans in your country

    Here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, I have C-Spire 1Gb up/down fiber for US dollars 60 per month for the first 12 months, then $85 per month thereafter. Just curious, but who is your provider in Saudi Arabia?

    ZenWiFi AX (XT8) LAN ports disconnection

    Yes, you can swap your nodes without any issues other than changing the name of the node (if you named them - some don't). Once their positions are swapped, the "new" node should automatically recognize the ethernet backhaul and prioritize accordingly.

    Issues with RT-AX92U running 388.2_2_0-gnuton1

    Yeah, I had upgraded to 388.2 as well, and same thing. Lots of crashes, nodes losing backhaul link and flashing blue, etc, etc... Reverted back to 386.7 and back to normal (well, MY normal - high memory and cpu utilization due to too many devices, and devices being dropped to free up...

    Just curious - which router are you using in your network?

    ZEN Wi-Fi XT8 Mesh is overwhelmed...Looking for advice

    😆! This reminds me of the fun I used to have creating broadcast shutdown alerts when emergency work was needed on the network. Fortunately, my State Department customers had a good sense of humor and would actually look forward to what would be in the next alert message! I'm actually looking...

    Ok bud, I'll quit bothering you 😁. I think I have enough info to go forward with. Once again, many thanks. I'll let you know how this turns out.

    ZEN Wi-Fi XT8 Mesh is overwhelmed...Looking for advice

    Thanks Tech9. Both posts with good info. I'll look into the units and their reviews. So no reservations about an all in one device? Thanks again! Almost forgot - any trade-offs by using the free software controller? Seems there would be, but this is a bit new to me.
