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...

Did you only make a reboot (by software) or turn off power for short time on ALL physically connected devices? First might not reset HW completely to remove failure. Do you use some kind of switch or PLC (PowerLine)?

I did the reset via software, which went back to the setup wizard (and then uploaded the config file to restore all my settings). I also turned off the power for a while. I have no Powerline devices in use either.

I doubt I’ll ever know what went wrong. I just hope it doesn’t happen again!

Handy Tip;

If Anyone is having issues where the signal of the wireless backhaul node randomly drops from 5GHz to 2.4GHz frequency and displays “weak” signal then try disabling universal beamforming on the 5Ghz-2 network band

Worth  a try from a stability perspective

That is a real shame, I will let ASUS know your particular set-up and ask them to have a look at stability for future releases ?

Hi all,

Unfortunately I see others still having problems.

Since I sent mine back and reverted back to.my old Orbi RBK52 I’ve had no issues at all.

Think I’ll stick with that for the time being.

Good luck to the beta testing

This beta has been really good for me with Teams.  I updated around 3/4 days ago.  No issues with Microsoft Teams

I have read on a couple of Forums that using firmware 3.0.0.4.386_46061 owners are having Gaming issues, shame they have not tried ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 9.0.0.4.386.46980

My son uses Game Pass and the Xbox cloud gaming every day, this is on PC and the Xbox Series X.  He hasn’t complained about any issues with gaming at all.  We used Cloudflare IPv6 without any issues and yesterday changed to Google IPv6 for testing purposes.  Teams was fine for me today with Google dns.

Great news, did your Son have any issues with gaming whilst you where using firmware 3.0.0.4.386_46061 ?

Is he on Ethernet to Node for gaming connection ?

No issues at all with gaming even on 46061.

He uses both ethernet and wifi for gaming

Good to know, hopefully just a config/QoS issue for their side.

The beta 46980 has been rock solid for me the whole week even with multiple Teams calls.  Hopefully it stays like this.
