That sounds promising. Are you getting any 2.4 GHz disconnect issues?
I’m mostly using 2.4 for a half dozen TP-Link switches and they all show 104+ hours of access time on the network map.
Backhaul currently at 108+ hours.

November 13, 2022 at 4:42 am #21686November 13, 2022 at 8:44 pm #21688Uptime now 178ish hours for the longest connected devices. Lotโs of otherโs come and go, but thatโs pretty typical. 2 XT8 system with Wi-Fi 5g-2 backhaul, 400/20 internet speed maxed out on 5g devices. Still no traffic stats.

November 14, 2022 at 3:19 pm #21690My wireless backhaul up-time is now 205+ hours on 9.0.0.4.388_21493
Free RAM is 166MB with 18 active devices
2.4G TP-Link switches and plugs are rock solid at 204+ hours
5G Google/Nest devices seem to roam more than I’d expect, mostly sitting around 24+ hours

November 21, 2022 at 7:22 am #21755@dodgydrains – ASUS have asked me if you would like to try another offline beta for the XT8 (not for sharing) ?

November 21, 2022 at 12:59 pm #21756I’m always willing to try a beta since I know I can rollback if serious issues.

November 21, 2022 at 5:48 pm #21764Weird that the latest update isn’t shown when you check via the router interface, but is via the Asus app!
