It now looks like FW 42095 has been removed from the ASUS servers. There also seems to be a chipset or design change on the XT8 on routers with production year 2022? This is what it says on FW prior to 46061, Any ideas what it could be:
Ok, so have had feedback form ASUS (after much chasing) regarding the change to the ZENWifi XT8 and removal of legacy firmwares. —— Currently we are facing a shortage of chips. So we made another hardware version with an upgrade wifi chip set solution (43684C0). We don’t want users use newer HW to load previous FW, so we will remove old version gradually. —– Note: Older XT8 models can use the newer firmwares
Thanks for chasing them on this. Hopefully it is true and not fixing an issue with V1.

First time my connection has gone 10 days without issues. From what I can tell it remained on 5GHZ mesh, channel 100 and bandwidth 160, throughout the 10 days.

The £350 is not as great as one might think.
You only get the £150 as council tax rebate (discount).
£200 is given as a ‘credit’ to your energy bill which is then recouped over the next 5 years at £40 per year.
This is recouped regardless of whether you benefitted from the £200 in the first place. For example from young people who become new homeowners or renters for the first time will pay the extra £40 per year from April 2023.
I deal with energy in a commercial property company I work for. This is essentially like a levy that you have to pay whether you benefitted or not. It is a scam by the UK government.

I stopped using the Asus QoS, it is completely disabled for me. Only things I manually set up are as follows:
- Set WAN DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
- Turn on IPV6 to Passthrough and Cloudflare – Server 1 = 2606:4700:4700::1111 & Server 2 = 2606:4700:4700::1001
My Surface Pro from work looks like comes built with Zscaler installed (I think it is a VPN). Not had any major Teams issue on 46061. Last time I could say that after 42095 was a beta from Asus.

Another whole day of problem free Teams calls today. Looks like that side of it has vastly improved.
If only ASUS got back to me on the ‘protocol 0000 is buggy, dev archer’ error logs I sent.

The only way to try and ‘avoid’ scalper prices currently is pre-built. GPU’s are extortionately priced and will take time to come down again. Stick with what you have if possible otherwise look at RTX3050 at msrp.

It has been 5 days since I had the ‘protocol 0000 is buggy, dev archer’ issue. Connection has been stable for me, hopefully rest of the week will be fine too. Another session of Teams meetings tomorrow to come.

3770k still working quite well for any office tasks even with Win11.
I had upgraded a while ago to Win11 on the 3770k system. It is still receiving patches and updates. If it stops receiving updates I will revert to Win10.

This is upgrade upgrade after 10 years. The last build was intel i7-3770k where I only upgraded GPU to RTX 2070.
The system has now been given to my son, still plenty fast enough for him coming from an AMD FX8370 and a GTX 1060.

I got this Dell monitor a while ago directly from Dell with the updated panel for £275

Got next day delivery and it got delivered in the morning.
There are actually 2 case fans. 1 x 120mm (I think that is the size) in the front and 1 x 80mm at the back.
On first start-up all the the fans are quite audible. After entering windows they are whisper quiet on idle.
Nearly damaged the front hot-swappable SSD trays. I never knew there are different sized SSD’s?
I had 2 SSD’s and the first one would not fit. Tried to jam it in and nearly damaged the SSD and the hot-swappable tray. It was near impossible to get the SSD back out. Had to use a pliers to remove.
I then tried the other SSD and it just fitted in perfectly. Lesson learnt……

I finally got a reply from the ASUS UK customer services person who helped with Beta FW.
He just told me if problems persist to raise RMA with the seller!!! Looks like a stock response from him.
Totally ignored my question about the 2022 production units and what, if any, changes there were.

Just bought this system from Very. As I suspected the price went up substantially after coming back in stock. It is now £1,800 at John Lewis and for £1600 from Very.
Bonus was that I had £500 Very vouchers applied to the account so ended up paying £1,100.

Another day of Microsoft Teams calls without any noticeable issues
.Hopefully the ‘protocol 0000 is buggy, dev archer’ error was a one off and doesn’t happen again.
