I didn’t take a screenshot but did submit feedback when 21099 was still on the router so hopefully asus have a copy.

I tried to update to this firmware but none of the nodes were creating a mesh network. Had to connect all xt8’s as router to downgrade FW individually to 49873 and get back up and running. No idea what I could have done wrong.
TBH – probable nothing of your making, it is a test firmware so probable best to revert back to Version 3.0.0.4.386.49873 and wait this one out.
I have just noticed Version 3.0.0.4.388.21099 has re-appeared on download servers, so no idea what is going on

beta version goes well ONLY on the main router… if you use it on the nodes the aimesh network won’t work anymore (the node function is broken on beta)…
I’m using, for now, 49873 on main router and 21099 on nodes…

ASUS did supply me with another (beta) ‘this time’ firmware this morning, but I am reluctant to share as I am sure this will have issues also.
ASUS Recovery / Rescue Mode:
I do not own an XT8 – but I would imagine the following should work.
To launch the rescue mode and use the Firmware Restoration utility for XT8:
1. Unplug the wireless router from the power source.
2. Hold the Reset button at the rear panel and simultaneously
replug the wireless router into the power source. Release the
Reset button when the Power LED at the front panel flashes
slowly, which indicates that the wireless router is in the rescue
mode.3. Set a static IP on your computer and use the following to set up your TCP/IP settings:
IP address: 192.168.1.x Subnet mask: 255.255.255.04. From your computer’s desktop, click Start > All Programs > ASUS Utility > Wireless Router >Firmware Restoration.
5. Specify a firmware file, then click Upload

As others will hopefully confirm, seems the firmware XT8 3.0.0.4.388.21099 release is far from ideal, did you have any issues when using the previous release 49873. If you did not then I would strongly advise you to downgrade firmware to Version 3.0.0.4.386.49873 and see if that helps.
I would definitely advise to go back to 49873.
@UK Sentinell, would you mind sending me the new beta to test via email? I can test over the weekend if I have time. I think Asus should give you a set of XT8’s for ‘testing’ purposes

So far, so good on 21268
So you are the one
– Running ethernet between the XT8’s will remove the issue with 21268 as you are not wifi meshed etc.Would be interesting if after a few more days you let us know if your set up with 21268 is still running well and stable etc ?

The new beta was already better for me. After updating the first node (furthest away from the router) it re-established the wireless mesh connection. I will not update the router until the weekend as I need to work from home.

Great news, will be interesting if the original Error log message reappears ‘/var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No space left on device (retry in 60s)’

I did not see this specific message in my Error logs. I think it was @Raven who had this error before the lock up. For me it was just ‘out of memory (1560)’ but could not see if there was anything prior to this log.
I have gone ahead and updated the router as well now
. Hopefully doesn’t mess up my working from home. Everything seems fine for now, but obviously there probably will be no Parental Controls as it is beta.You need to login in order to vote
