I had to manually set 160MHz on the backhaul on 22525.  Once set, it was perfectly stable.  When set to Auto, it always defaulted to 80MHz and stayed there.

I have also updated as soon as I saw it.  If it’s as good as 22525 then it’s a winner for me.  Only had one small bug with that.

Reset may resolve your issues, but your setup may be very different to mine.

I do this on each XT8’s. Always find that this way it clears everything in terms of settings. Also, try plugging the XT8 to a different power socket. I had a situation where my extension lead was faulty and caused the XT8 to reboot.

may i ask, so you haven’t had any downtimes or wireless backhaul switching to 2.4ghz ever since updating to this latest update (and doin the factory reset)?

I have had no occasion where my backhaul went to 2.4GHz on FW 22525.

I am with Ovo, but will stay on the price cap until July 23.

The forecast is apparently for average prices to fall below £2k.  Finally, it looks like some light at the end of the tunnel.

Energy bills predicted to drop below £2,000 in July

Also, predictions are inflation will fall into single figures soon.

Try checking in the app for the RSSI on each node.  All 4 of my XT8’s are under 55dBm.

Also all the connection quality show as ‘Great’.

Have you tried fixing the 5GHz-2 to 80MHz?

Mine is normally around 118MB, It maybe because I have around 72 devices connected, most of which are just IoT devices?

That is probably why your free RAM is lower than mine from the start.  Hopefully UK Sentinel can help explain the logs when he is back.

Theatre with my good wife for Moulin Rouge ;)

Is that at the Piccadilly Theatre?  I work nearby in Victoria Street.

Hope you enjoyed the theatre.  There are some lovely eateries in Denman Street.  Very expensive though.

Your free ram seems very low compared to mine.  Mine has never gone below 150MB free
