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…

The two posts are not the same entry, they have been cut and pasted as was in the log. The router has not crashed (yet). It’s just the error log, I’ve never seen this before and was getting a little curious as to what and why?

So had a chat with ASUS because the log entries where a little obscure and I wanted to make sure regarding the firewall reference,  I also  have some background information which may help other ASUS ZenWifi XT8 owners.

ASUS ZenWifi XT8 Details

1. The ASUS ZenWifi XT8 AiMesh Router (Primary/Master) can support upto 9 wireless AiMesh Nodes
2. The ASUS ZenWifi XT8 can support upto a theoretical maximum number of wifi clients.
   1.  2.4G: 128 wifi clients
   2. 5G-1: 128 wifi clients
   3. 5G-2: 64 wifi clients

‘note: this is a theoretical maximum ‘

Regarding your log messages, ASUS believe  the “asd” daemon crashed and the “restart_firewall” is called by “asd” after it restarted.

The ASD is from a Linux perspective  stands for ‘anything-sync-daemon’ I believe and handles temp files and writing them to storage etc.

The ‘CPU: 1 PID: 19422 Comm: asd Tainted: P O 4.1.52 #2’ in theory should not happen to much, but I have seen the same reference on other logs from ASUS users in the past, I assume it happens more often for yourself as you have a a lots of Nodes and wifi clients etc.

It is nothing to worry about and it is LINUX doing its thing (I believe) and is now on ASUS radar for future consideration
