I’ll tell you an absurd story that happened to me in my parents’ house where I use 4 XT8.
It is not something that has to do directly with the asus router, but it is really “special” and shows how networks are really subject to the strangest unexpected events.
Long story short, a few days ago I see that all the IoT devices I have at home (mostly wifi sockets and cameras) are offline.
I check and I see that the 2.4Ghz band doesn’t work anymore! I try to reset, reconfigure, change firmware, but nothing … the 2.4 network is gone (the router tells me that it is active instead)
Then I take one of the other 3 nodes and reconfigure it as a router … and nothing, even the 2.4Ghz does not work at that! Yet as a node I detected it, until a few hours before.
Then I understand that it does not depend on the router, and I get the idea that there may be an interference. I check the wifi sockets near the router and I discover that one (classic amazon china) is broken, in the sense that it is very hot and the LED is off. As soon as I unplugged it, the 2.4Ghz line started working again without any problem!
Absurd how a wifi socket manages to completely haywire a router!
