Asus seem to have upped their game with the new FW releases on the XT8. Refreshing to see after all the previous issues. Well done to you all that sent their logs with their Teams issues.

Can’t say I’ve noticed any issues with the latest update, and it seems that for a while now things have settled down. That isn’t to say I don’t still get the odd occasion where the mesh node drops to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and sticks there. No amount of optimising or even rebooting fixes – but usually a physical flick of the power switch solves it.
That’s, thankfully, rare. I have no idea why it does it – or if Asus could ever fix it, but I’ll live with it.
What does seem to be more of a problem is that when I’ve forced 160MHz, it can sometimes not connect at all. I’ve tried 160MHz only, which can cause it not to work. So I then do 20/40/80/160 which also seems to make it use just 80MHz.
Currently it’s on 80MHz but with the 160MHz box ticked, and I am not even sure that’s a valid setting – and in any case, it’s connected at 80MHz.
Basically, I’ve pretty much accepted that despite a near perfect signal, it doesn’t like using 160MHz on the backhaul. It’s not even showing as an issue with radar (I’m not a million miles away from an airport) and just decides to sync at 80MHz. I guess it will remain like the 2.4GHz problem – something that will always be there.
Perhaps doing another reset and restoring settings will fix it, but I can’t be bothered anymore as I think I just want stability. As I’m mostly near the main router, I still get the full speed and my wife/son who use the node (when she’s working from home, or my son is on his Xbox) aren’t so worried about max speed. My son’s Xbox rarely downloads any games at anywhere near my maximum Internet speed anyway – which seems a limitation of their servers.
The important thing is that my wife hasn’t had any issues relating to her work, my son can still play online games, and everything else ‘just works’. There are no ongoing monthly fees like other routers, so I’m sure when the time comes to upgrade (no obvious need anytime soon) I’d almost certainly buy another Asus product, most likely Wi-Fi 6E or more likely wait for Wi-Fi 7.
