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...

I have been on FW 3.0.0.4.388_24609 for nearly 7 days now.

For my use case it has been stable so far.

The main feature I use is ‘Parental Controls – Time Scheduling’.

I don’t do any regular reboot, just set it up as I want it and then leave it to do it’s thing.

@stevenroberts – If you wish to understand what function eth4 is performing, enable Telnet / ssh access to your XT8 and type after connecting to your XT8  nvram get sta_phy_ifnames in the CMD prompt and show us below the output.

Thanks for this. I have rolled back the firmware as the wifi has disconnected a few times due to radar the latest version appears a lot more aggressive for radar. I have never had a total disconnect but its happened 4 times so far whilst working from home so not ideal. its affected both the 5ghz bands

I have gone 20 days without a hitch, for my use case FW 24609 has been flawless.

Will now test the new GNUton’s 3004.388.6 beta2 FW which was released yesterday.

Great news, your V1 hardware XT8’s does seem to be running AiMesh very stable.

If you have the opportunity, can you provide a couple of screenshots of you XT8 AiMesh settings, so that others can reference if they are having issues

These are my settings for 5GHz-2, nothing special at all.

Many thanks and hopefully a good reference for other ASUS XT8 owners looking to configure an XT8 AiMesh environment

I get envious when i am the only one who couldn’t use the 160 bandwidth. Everytime i tick it on, my wifi backhaul reverts to yellow led means slow speed. So ever since i’ve turned off that particular bandwidth, everything’s smooth sailing.

Is the 160 bandwidth dependent on country’s policy on radar or capabilty?

160Mhz in your region (Philippines) is allowed (I believe) and the fact you can select the 160Mhz option indicates it is usable.

White light indicates good signal strength on 5GHz, Yellow can mean backhaul is dropping to 2.4GHz ?

That’s somewhat good to know. But unfortunately, I couldn’t get it to wirk properly whenever 160 is enabled. It always breaks the wifi backhaul whenever it’s ON.

There are some settings in the above posts, copy those for your XT8 5GHz-2 settings
