Reply To: ASUS ZenWiFi AX Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System Not sure if this is the right place to ask…. I am thinking of upgrading my Google Mesh wifi to the above. Has anyone used this and does it…

2 Part response I think,

R1 – when you set up your XT8, do you use app or browser ?

There was reports a while back that using app to configure ASUS XT8 and other kit caused the blue blinking light problem with disconnects etc.

R2 – DFS is a more interesting subject, unless you live near an airport or MoD facility etc, should not be a concern, but your logs do suggest otherwise.

FYI – When a router is started, for DFS it chooses a default Channel Bandwidth and Control Channel, then after a certain time (15 – 60 minuites) , if no DFS interference used by Military etc. is detected, then the ASUS router will increase Channel Bandwidth to a higher frequency which increases bandwidth etc. good for backhaul etc.

(it could be the other way around – I cannot recall)

Unless you experience regular wifi disconnects (wireless backhaul) I would not worry
