First the TL;DR

  • 160mhz backhaul not possible in areas of UK due to weather radar on 5.625ghz.
Channel 124 is 5.620ghz *See map below*​
This removes one of the BIG features of this product.​
I think it could be fixed, but will it?​
  • Fronthaul 5G-1 limited to channels 36-64
Backhaul 5G-2 limited to channels 100-140​
I think this is a software limitation and would be great if it is fixed to allow all channels.​

  • A lot of apps show 160mhz as only 80mhz.

  • Amazon Firesticks don't work on all 5ghz channels. If your 2.4ghz & 5ghz SSID's are the same you could be forced onto 2.4ghz causing stuttering during playback of Blu-ray rips.

  • LG TV's struggling with streaming 4k 60fps UHD rips. (100mb LAN only, 866.7mb AC Wi-Fi. Tested 4k 60fps UHD rip peaked at 110mbps)

  • 2.5gb WAN on router cannot be set to 2.5gb LAN to node, or at least not in mesh mode.


So lets get started.


My BT Home Hub 5 running OpenWRT broke, I had to revert to Vodafone’s VOX3 router but I don't like the backdoors service providers leave in and the VOX3 can’t run OpenWRT yet..

I have an RT-N66U with merlin on it but it isn’t beefy enough to serve the whole house (2.4ghz 144mb, 5ghz 300mb)

I rip my Blu-rays to a QNAP NAS without re-encoding so the most demanding films ask for 60mbps. I wanted to future-proof myself and have been looking at the bandwidth required for UHD 4k 60fps which has been hitting 110mbps.

Couple this with a family of 5 all wanting to watch their own things on their own devices despite being sat within the one room I needed. Most are tablets/phones and I wanted to get rid of the Ethernet cables running around the house.

So mesh it is. With the XT8 promising up to 4804mbps for the backhaul and 1201mbps out the fronthaul it should really hit the spot. I have been a big fan of Asus due to the RT-N66U which weighed heavily on my decision to keep with the brand.


Purchased plugged in, lets get setup.

Being a previous user of Asus I was familiar with the setup but chose to try the easy setup via the app.

I went through all the steps in the app and even chose against my normal scepticism to allow remote access for monitoring. (Previously I used OpenVPN server on the BT home hub 5 and intend to set this up at a later date)

I got the units both talking to each other and noticed the the node had a white light but the main router still had a blue flashing light.

I note another user has had this issue. Not sure what caused it but after a factory reset, setting up via web interface and not picking remote access both units setup fine.

Time to test the setup to see if it is delivering the panacea of wireless connectivity in my house.

And then the trouble begins….

Where’s my 160mhz (4804mbps) backhaul?

I found the option to enable 160mhz, and even though it accepted the settings the app I was using (WifiAnalyzer for Android on S10+) kept reporting 80mhz.


I looked in the Wi-Fi logs and got the following.

What’s going on on channel 124?

No matter what channel I manually picked, it kept pinging channel 124 and setting out of service for 31 mins. Even a reboot I’d have to wait 31mins. And more frustratingly after the 31mins I’d still be stuck on 80mhz confirmed by the bits in yellow.

I tried other channels at 80mhz, 40mhz and 20mhz and anytime they overlapped with channel 124. BANG, 31min wait.

It is worth pointing out, when Channel 124 is in it’s 31min countdown the manual channel selection gets restricted to “Auto”


Picture2.jpg



Anyway, to cut a long story short on this segment. I am in the following scenario.


For those in the UK. (And other countries)
Channel 124 (5620mhz) is the same a the Met Office Weather Radar (5625mhz) and is smack bang in the wrong place to allow 8 contiguous channels required for 160mhz on this Mesh system (Limited to channels 100-140).

If you live near any of the Radars in the attached map you are not going to be getting 160mhz bandwidth.

Picture3.jpg



Here is what I think can be done to fix the issue.

Asus give us 80+80 allowing us to skip Channel 124.

Asus open the 36-64 channels allowing us more choice on where to stick our 160mhz and can stick front end on 4 contiguous channels in the 100-140 range.

(This would work for me fine as 36-64 are not blocked for me and frustrating as 36-64 and 100-140 are available for the single 5ghz interface on my RT-N66U).

I also managed to get the router working on 160mhz by placing some kitchen foil directly between the router and the local weather radar. Unfortunately as the node has to communicate wirelessly I couldn’t block the radar on that one too.

In short. The main selling point on this mesh system cannot be used because of where I live unless ASUS or Merlin can open up the other legally available channels.
I doubt the hardware is limited to these channels and fooling around with the router I had managed to push the router onto “other” channels.
 
Moving on...

Wireless scanners reporting 160mhz as 80mhz

So, forgoing the above, as part of testing to confirm I could/could not get 160mhz working I found a lot of apps can’t display 160mhz when detecting this system and shows both router and node as 80mhz.


Bad apps (May or may not be related to hardware tested on)
WifiAnalyzer (open source) Android 2.1.2 – 52GS (10-29)(S10+/S20 Ultra)Shows 80mhz

WifiAnalyzer (oglor) (S10+) Shows 80mhz
Linssid (AX200 laptop)Shows 80mhz
Inssider legacy(AX200 laptop)Shows 80mhz


The only good app I found

Inssider latest (Free subscription)(AX200 laptop)Shows 160mhz

Just something to consider when testing as it complicated the issue!!


Talking about complications…


Amazon firestick

So I run Kodi on some Firesticks.

Normally I segment my SSID’s but to test the functionality and make this more family friendly I decided to leave 2.4ghz and 5ghz on the same SSID.

Blu-ray playback… buffer… buffer.. buffer.

Turns out although Amazon Firesticks work on 5ghz, they won’t if you have set your channel to anything but 36-48. All my neighbours were on 36-48 so I picked 52-64. Because of this they were falling back to 2.4ghz and not keeping up with the 60mbps required for some of my sons action films. (initially I had thought it was the 1950s partition wall, built just after WWII it must have been built with lead!

Anyway, I stuck the RT-N66U in that room wired back to the XT8 router giving 5ghz @ 300mbs.

LG TV

So testing my nice new 55” 4k TV, I wanted to really push it. Despite it only being 4ft from the router, I didn’t want to have a LAN cable running to it.

Turns out the LAN port is restricted to 100mb anyway (Really LG, why?) so fell short when trying to stream a UHD 4k 60fps film. Other 4K 24fps films I have tested work fine wirelessly streaming from my NAS via wireless backhaul using the inbuilt LG app.

Using Plex 4k 60fps and 24fps crash after a few mins.

Streaming these films to a laptop with an AX200 they stream and playback fine.


2.5GB WAN

One last thing, as the 160mhz wasn’t working, I really wanted to get 2.5gb working as a backhaul between the two nodes.

At one point it did show me a 2.5gb connection but I could not access the internet, so not sure if this is a bug? Sure would be nice to make the most of that 2.5gb connection for the backhaul. Especially without the 160mhz.

Picture5.png


Other little things


I had heard about 160mhz being freed up for consumers on the front haul. I’m hesitant to accept this as a promise as I have been burned before “Waiting for promised features” and it looks like chipset doesn’t support it anyway. Can connect to 160mhz backhaul for now anyway.

I seem to be having an issue where if I’m streaming a video on one device. Switching connection on another device causes the steaming video to stop or stutter briefly.

Have issues where moving from room with router in to room with node in and device sticking to other.

You can’t turn the USB 3.0 port into another LAN port. Or use it with the Dual WAN for anything other than 4g SIM/Android tethered internet. I wanted to use it as another WAN to free up the 2.5GB wan for the backhaul.

The following 2 issues have occurred on Beta FW and not checked on standard FW Everything else has happened on the standard firmware.

Turning off a Wi-Fi radio i.e. 2.4ghz doesn’t disconnect the clients and allows other clients to reconnect. (Might be a beta firmware bug)

Slow internet on wireless client devices down to 1-2mbps yet can still stream 80mbps UHD wirelessly. Inbuilt speed tester on XT8 shows full U/L D/L, wired gets full speed too.

So what do I think?

Great bit of kit, a bit expensive, a few missed opportunities with 160mhz and 2.5GB WAN port which all look like they could be fixed in software or at least improved flexibility wise. i.e. 2.5GB backhaul with 160mhz for clients.

I have connected to the wireless backhaul with AX200 and got 2.4gbps


I’m new to this forum and hope you find this useful.
 
Lastly i'll just add a channel guide I found on the internet but have modified it to show the channels ASUS force us to use for front and backhaul.

It would really help if they let us have 80+80 or swap front and backhaul around.

160mhz problem.png
 
After 4 weeks of testing, I had to return both units, as good as it is, I could not justify this kind of money for a high speed mesh system with no high speed mesh.
In the beta thread Asus seems to have written of 5ghz backhaul as too troublesome, so I will wait for wifi6e on these units.
Such a shame as these were fantastic units.

Feedback for ASUS.

  • Allow me to select all channels on 5ghz (I could on my RT-N66U).
  • Allow 80+80 on DFS channel.
  • Let me use the 2.5gb port as an Ethernet backhaul.
  • 4 gigabit ports please, 3 isn't enough. (Plus 2.5gb making 5 total Ethernet ports).
  • Consider dual 2.5gb ports to allow daisy chain backhaul/one for WAN one for backhaul.
  • Allow link aggregation for NAS (On Node too as it would be the node near my NAS as I don't keep NAS near router).

If you can release a Wifi 6e version of this mesh system with the above addressed then i'd be all for it. The units looked fantastic and I really really didn't want to send them back.
 
It's actually amazing there were no replies. I'm having similar issues as I live near the airport. There is no way to disable DFS channels for backhaul which means every time router detects the weather radar it changes channel and as I understand connection is interrupted. I'm also having lag instances on my Xbox console which is connected to the node. Most of the time it's fine but every once in a while game lags. Cable backhaul would probably be best solution but it's kind of difficult for my home. Also few times connection was dropped for no reason and once one of my older MacBooks couldn't get an IP.

Nome of the above ever happened on my AmplifyHD mesh with router and node.
 
Thanks for the positive reply. Just wanted to keep people informed :)
 
Just to confirm same issue, in Madrid Spain, due to a weather radar. Channel 124 blocks, no way to enable 160Mhz. Zero solutions from Asus at the time, i've to send info on my lan topology, etc.... keep updated if we reach some kind of progress.

Thanks Jago for the post, i was getting totally confused by this, not understanding whats happening, because i dont only have zen system, i have it mesh up :) with ans asus main router also 160Mhz and triband capable.

Review from a "regular WiFi user" in a 3 story house 4200 sq ft with several clients throughout:
- initial set-up with Asus App vs GUI, 3 minutes tops...done! (no issues)
- Wireless backhaul perfect! (no option for wired backhaul for me)
- Update FW (both main n node) a few minutes one click done!
- 300Mb/s download package, getting 245-305 Mb/s (5 Ghz) and 70-90 Mb/s (2.4 Ghz) anywhere in my house....within 25 ft of router or node pegs to 320 Mb/s
- No drop outs and seamless transition from Router to node.
- Streaming 4K on a number of Smart TV's in my home...perfect.
- Outdoor patios (x2) with Smart TV's (5Ghz) works great!
- Extremely non obtrusive and sleek, doesnt look like a toaster from an episode of Star Wars or Star Trek

As for 160 Mhz, already knew it wouldnt be available in Canada, do I care? ....not at this point, would I get improvements, not sure its already working great ;)

Did I mention no drop outs, no re-boots ....2 months in....no need to visit GUI after initial set-up.

Highly recommend for a "set it and forget it" user.....if you must tweak everything in GUI , lots to tweak, but some of us are "set it an forget it" folks :) Seems some that have "problems" are some that insist on tweaking settings in GUI they perhaps should think twice prior to tweaking!

Decent price for great coverage of a large house and recommended!

I do not use Mesh, as I live in a flat, and have only one XT8 as a sigle router, but my experience is the same: set it and forget it. All perfect.

Well my case is I've bought this system, pair of zen xt8 and a GT ax11k, in order to prepare myself for the 1 Gb upgrade of my telco company in mid january. Right now i have 600 MB symmetric.

As a intelligent buyer, not an expert one, before doing the investment, in order to decide, i read reviews, consider me guilty of trying to obtain best option for me, and for my money.


Decided for that instead of gt ac5300 and a pair of ct8, that cost all the set half of what I've bought, for wifi 6 backhaul speed and wifi6 capability. No info about this 160Mhz issue, or warning, anyway at that point.

I'm not a tweaker, wireless overclocker fanatic or whatever, big house also, lots of children, and value a lot plug and play in order to devote my time to whatever i want instead of reading wifi or network forums, or worst, impact of radars in the wifi spectrum :-X. The configuration wizard of asus when tells you to enable wifi 6, tell you to go to the wireless options to enable also 160, that's what i did, more when i'm not getting speeds i'm supposed to after install.

First time asus user, so, to tell about the good, i agree i like a lot the web interface, the app, the equipments itself, both zen xt8 and the rog gt ax110000. Easy to set up and running decent at wifi 6 with 80 Mhz.

The point is that i understand im getting the same speeds, as with gt ac5300 and Zen CT8. That seems to me be good to know before buying this setup.

My own ISP has wifi solutions that run wifi6 with this 160Mhz channels i'm becoming and expert in, that seems to work in spain, no matter where you live, lot cheaper. I've decided to asus in order not to depend on my ISP, not knowing this is going to be a problem.

What annoys me the most is that i've to invest time in this, and seems unfixable, with no workaround or configuration in that many options equipments... so after readings Jago post seems to me interesting to share with others, as i understand are this forums for...

Thanx anyway to all of you that participate in this forums to bring real and detailed info & advice, for people like me, that suscribes days ago, just for this issue...

Hi, I also live in Spain., Which ISP offers wifi6 160 mhz routers? Mine gave me a infamous AC router.
 
Got to admit, I could care less about 160MHz. channels, 80MHz. works fine for me. I'm happy staying with the upper and lower 5GHz. channels, away from the DFS ones. Love the ZenWifi here, installation was a breeze with the Asus app. And using that as my base configuration, have added a few tweaks here and there, like picking channels instead of auto, turning off UPnP, using NextDNS instead of AT&T DNS, the usual. 100% uptime. We have gigabit internet, and I see up to about 750Mbps on internet speed tests on wifi-6 at the remote XT8 node across my house. About 550Mbps at the remote node on wifi-5. Very happy with the wifi speeds that I'm seeing with wireless backhaul. On the AiMesh router node connected to my fiber gateway, up to about 920/920Mbps on wifi-6 on my mac desktop.

Anyways, the best wifi that I've ever had here, full house coverage, no problems yet. Set and forget is close to accurate, but I'm not a set and forget type. Do look at what's going on with per-client traffic, and glance at the system log for problems. Couple of firmware upgrades, again, no problems.

Yes, I'm very happy with it too. I have had some dns problems with latest firm (from Feb 1st), but I think solved now.

As for apps, WiFi Analyser is correctly displaying the network as 160MHz. Haven't seen it on my laptop, as OS X cannot show hidden SSIDs (unless connected to them).
