    XT8 6600 DEAD ☠️

    It's quite a common issue on these. They can be repaired though, I have fixed a few of them already.

    XT8 Packet Loss Wired Mesh - Using as Access Points Only

    Interesting fault, sounds like you had a faulty ethernet 2.5ghz ethernet chip (assuming you were using the 2 5Ghz port). Would have been interesting if you tried one of the Lan ports on that XT8 as the backhaul instead.... The other 4 ports don't use that chip I believe. I've seen a very...

    ASUS RT-AX89X QoS issue with self hosted nginx instance

    Can you connect to your webserver on it's IP ? I know the cert will fail but do you have a connection ? Ideally when you DNS resolve it internally you need to resolve to the local IP address not the internet IP... As a test can you add an entry to a host file on the connecting PC and see if...

    XT9 Power Supply

    Yes deffo worth it. Let's hope you get lucky and it works out. Anyway seems you already have the right power supply for these with your existing ones so you can try it.

    XT9 Power Supply

    If you look at the second router some one has swapped the insides as the case is for an XT9 but you can see a gap....

    XT9 Power Supply

    So am I now... Wouldn't make sense for them to mix different voltage power supplies and use the same plug. Post pics of your v1 XT8 please...

    XT9 Power Supply

    Something a bit odd maybe someone swapped the bottom label. I know for fact asus don't make 12v supply with that 4.0mm plug.

    XT9 Power Supply

    The ones that have the metal around them are the 19v sockets, like the XT8 v1. The XT9 does not have the metal around the socket, and those are 12v. That's the reason I questioned it. I happen to have these torn down see attached... Top one XT9 bottom XT8v1 Something a bit odd maybe someone...

    XT9 Power Supply

    Connector size on these is 4.0mm 1.35mm pin. 19v 1.75amps. Pin size is a bit annoying as the standard ones for a 4.0mm barel are. 1.7mm. Any asus charger that fits the above spec will do. Are you sure that's a XT 9? And not an XT8 v1? XT9 and XT8 v2 use 12v adapters with a standard 5.5mm plug.

    Ever wondered what's inside a wifi antenna? Here's some pics.

    As the hinges are all broken. I'll be doing an experiment and fitting the dipoles inside the router so there are no protrusions. Will compare wifi performance between external and internal mounted dipoles. I suspect there will be no difference on this particular router and this antenna design.

    Ever wondered what's inside a wifi antenna? Here's some pics.

    Yes, that's exactly it. I think this is why I like the ASUS ZENWIFI devices, no BS external antennas. Internally their antennas are constructed much better, two tubes that forma dipole. They only use a tube on the ground plane on the antenna in the pics above and the centre conductor forms the...

    Ever wondered what's inside a wifi antenna? Here's some pics.

    Dosen't work like that, the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength of the dipole. I know you're joking though ;) I'm just very surprised they don't mount the antenna at the top of the tube as that would have a clear advantage.

    Ever wondered what's inside a wifi antenna? Here's some pics.

    I've always wondered about these big antennas on routers. Wondered if it was a gimmick having big antennas, anyway I had the opportunity to teardown some antennas on some Asus AX routers I happened to be fixing. Was surprised that they don't even put the actual antenna at the top of the...

    ASUS XT8 - V1 (RT-AX95) NAND DUMP needed

    [rt-ac86u] very easy to brick

    The board ID should be two characters shoudn;t it ? The two characters represent your selection against the list of boards available... this is what I saw when I did the AX6600....
