    Resetting the XT8s and setting up from scratch is probably the best solution.

    Factory Resetting usually removes most of the quirks

    I thought I remembered someone posting that they were going to release an update in December for some type of security flaw?

    Back in September when I spoke with ASUS regarding the next Firmware release for the XT8, they did say QTR 4 is when the next firmware SHOULD be released ?

    I can chase if you wish

    Decided to test out the new GNUton’s 3004.388.5_0-gnuton0_beta1

    https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/releases/download/3004.388.5_0-gnuton0_beta1/RT-AX95Q_3004_388.5_0-gnuton0_beta1_puresqubi.w

    Dirty flashed over official 23285 FW, and seems stable so far.

    i hope not…

    but to their credit, the last update has been great for me.ย  i think the last 3 months or so, i’ve never had any issues at all.ย  only thing i do every week is to make sure to reset (by schedule) both nodes, the main and the 2nd one.ย  No drop offs in speed, never had that problem anymore where the 2nd node’s wifi backhaul reverts to the slow 2.4Ghz – yellow led light.

    been a happy customer here.

    2 week update on switching XT8s to AP mesh mode.

    No issues to report, WiFi is rock solid and no connection/compatibility issues with Mikrotik router. Asus GUI available via local IP and mobile app.

    I suspect you are getting bored now that your XT8 with @GNUton build is proving to be stable

    So I have chased ASUS for the progress for the next firmware release for the ASUS ZenWifi XT8, ASUS’s reply below which is positive.

    ————–

    The procedure of new firmware verification is almost finished.

    It should be released soon.
