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…

Took the plunge again into the 160 bandwidth. This time i manually set the control to 100. Hoping it would stick, and backhaul won’t revert to 2.4ghz (yellow led).

thanks again guys!

Hope it works for you.  People have had similar issues to you.

For me, it was horrendous with the early FW version updates.  I helped Asus with a lot of beta FW testing on the XT8 and since then they fixed my issues, and most FW updates after that have mostly worked flawlessly for my use case.

I always try to factory reset after I have issues to eliminate any settings problems that remained from previous setup.

First I set up the router with all my settings that worked, including IPV6 settings.  And then I add the node/s.  Then under ‘AiMesh’ – ‘Management’ – I manually set ‘Backhaul Connection Priority’ to ‘5GHz-2 WiFi first’ and also set ‘Preferred WiFi Uplink AP’ to the nearest XT8 to the node.
