    Extending AX6600 (XT8) mesh

    Newbie here. I have the AX6600 (XT8 2-pack). It's great, but I want to extend the signal to our back patio. What is the best and most economical way to do this? Buying a single AX6600 is pretty expensive. Details: Our home is strangely configured with interior brick walls and big appliances...

    ZenWifi AX xt8 - egress port already in use error

    I'm not 100% confident on this, but I keep seeing this error near/around the time that my network just takes a huge dump. When my network collapses I am unable to connect to the router (192.168.1.1), nor any devices on network. I have to wait some 2-3 min before the router UI is accessible, and...

    XT8 - possible to use 5GHz-2 in Bridge mode?

    Hi, question is as per the subject - does anyone know if it's possible to use 5GHz-2 in Bridge mode? It seems to be limited to 5GHz-1 for the bridge. When I try manual settings for the bridge, and select 5GHz-2, it goes into a mode where the LED flashes blue, which appears to mean it's trying...

    ZenWifi XT8 custom DNS for Guest network

    Haven't found any answers to this out there, but is it possible to assign a custom DNS setting to a Guest network on the ZenWifi XT8 router? The only place I see where a custom DNS can be set is under the WAN setting, but this is global, meaning it affects all the networks. I don't see a...

    Baby ping spikes with XT8 router

    While investigating a packet loss issues (now resolved) it came to my attention that my XT8 quite frequently adds up to about 20ms to ping of the ISP gateway (using ethernet). This does not occur with another router, a Mikrotik Hap AC2. Originally I noticed this with the stock firmware, but I've...

    XT8 160MHz and 3 nodes

    New to the forum (and ASUS XT8), so apologies if this has been answered before. I have searched online but not found anything. I have an XT8 mesh, in AP mode, running the 46061 firmware and a dedicated wireless backhaul. If I configure the mesh with only two XT8 nodes, I see a 160MHz backhaul...

    Local devices on separate XT8 nodes cannot talk to each other?

    Setup is as so: Fiber internet-->primary XT8 uplink. Local IP 192.168.50.1 Ethernet port of primary XT8 -> secondary XT8 uplink. Local IP 192.168.50.111 Using the ethernet backhaul, so no wireless devices here. Server connected off of primary XT8: 192.168.50.11 Client connected off of secondary...

    [Sort of SOLVED] Slow Wifi Upload for XT8 on Verizon Fios

    Hello everyone, I thought I'd share my latest experiment which appears to have solved my biggest issues with my XT8 system. I originally started with a 4 unit XT8 mesh system on Verizon Fios with a 400/400 plan. Wired speeds were 500/500 (not a typo) but on wireless I could never get above...

    Is this setup overly complex? ASUS XT8's (AP) + XD4's

    Happy Lunar New Year to those celebrating in the forum! As I get closer to moving into my home I started to put more thought into my setup. Since it's a good idea to segregate my IoT devices (locks, Apple TV, Light Switches, etc), it caused a pickle since I plan to put my XT8's in AP mode since...

    Asus XT8s and powerline backhaul

    Hello all from a forum newbie I have four XT8s in a home mesh network and am looking at wiring the backhaul of some or all of them using TP-Link TL-PA8010P/30P (1-port and 3-port) powerline adapters. I know the general feeling is that this is risky, but if I set up the units to use ethernet...
