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...

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.

Uptime now 178ish hours for the longest connected devices. Lot’s of other’s come and go, but that’s pretty typical. 2 XT8 system with Wi-Fi 5g-2 backhaul, 400/20 internet speed maxed out on 5g devices. Still no traffic stats.

My 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

@dodgydrains – ASUS have asked me if you would like to try another offline beta for the XT8 (not for sharing) ?

I’m always willing to try a beta since I know I can rollback if serious issues.

I’ve been trying the beta 21493.  My XT8 is now telling me to upgrade to 388_21617.  I don’t see this version mentioned anywhere so I’m holding off for the moment.

Seems this version of firmware is only applicable to ZenWIFI XT8 of V1 version hardware ?

I’m on V1 and was offered the updated BIOS via the Asus app on my phone. What the heck – Installing now… You only live once…

‘Brave die young’ – Glad you’re taking the leap and I will check with ASUS also

Depending on how long the dev’s take to run the correct routine, I would expect  21617 to go live on the web shortly :)

Weird that the latest update isn’t shown when you check via the router interface, but is via the Asus app!

Is your XT8 hardware version 1 ?
