@kev2021- been over year since you had your new Haier I-Pro Series 5 washing machine installed.
Hows the washing machine lasting, has it still been faultless ?

Working flawlessly for over a year. Other than the initial hiccup, which was the installers fault, I have had no issues. Hope it serves us as well as and as long as the last Hotpoint one did.

@Dodgydrains: So I had a chat with ASUS and seems that for certain ASUS models, they have removed all previous firmware releases, i.e. the XT8 which we know about.
ASUS say previous firmware’s have been removed due to Issues.
At least we now know the firmware removal was intentional

I had a feeling it was deliberate as they removed all previous FW at the same time as they released the November FW.
No worries for me as I have kept all previous FW for the XT8 V1 on my PC.

FYI: ZenWiFi AX XT8 v1 / v2 End-of-Life is (until 31st December 2026) so a few more firmware releases to arrive yet
In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom (J.G.Ballard).
Great news if both V1 and V2 will receive support for another 2 years. Hopefully by then, the ZenWifi BT10 will be more affordable. I have my eyes on four of those to replace the 4x XT8’s.

I have been testing FW 24668 for more than a day now without issues. For my use case all recent FW have been rock solid even on 160MHz backhaul without any drops.

Terrible news. It means roughly 5 years of FW support and still a lot of people facing issues with the latest FW releases.

They’re not actually connected by Ethernet, so I’ll, take your advice and keep them aligned, thank you.
As a complete newcomer to this, are there any specific advantages to moving to the custom firmware? Apologies if this question has been answered a thousand times.
I have 4 x XT8’s currently running 3004.388.8_2-gnuton1. I just find it better layout looking at the router stats.
There are a lot more advanced features on GNUton.
If you are not going to use these additional features, best to stay on stock.
With GNUton, FW update is done manually.
Both have been equally stable on latest stock FW and GNUton for me.
If you use the XT8’s on Access Point mode on GNUton, there is a known bug with the Asus GPL:

The middle hob on my Beko 5 burner Gas Hob broke, and is well outside the warranty period (12 years now, I think).
Purchased this new one directly from Samsung for £209 via perksatwork (the company I work for partners with them to give staff discounts with major online retailers).
Samsung 5 Burner Gas Hob NA75J3030AS | Samsung UK
I used the £50 voucher I received from Samsung when buying the S24 Ultra during launch.
Delivery was delayed by 2/3 days, I contacted Samsung CEO office who expedited delivery and then gave me another £30 voucher. Now just need to find a gas safe installer.
Ended up paying £159 and got another £30 voucher

@dodgydrains – how’s the new Haier I-Pro Series 5 washing machine, it’s been a few months since you purchased the Haier I-Pro Series 5, is it still working well ?
In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom (J.G.Ballard).
It’s been working flawlessly for me.
The washing machine is extremely quiet, even during the spin cycles.
If I had to come up with a negative (this would be a nit pick) the touch screen can be very sensitive. Couple of times washing machine turned off with just a brush of clothes on the screen whilst walking past it to grab something nearby.
I am well pleased with it, plus it was not very expensive. The £50 cashback came through after a slight hitch with providing an invoice. The cashback seems to be run by a third party, not Haier directly. Buying directly from Haier meant there was no PDF invoice, just the email confirmations. Eventually worked after contacting Haier for assistance.

Octopus whom supply my Gas and Electric will be interesting if I receive my credit in a timely fashion
In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom (J.G.Ballard).
I have done this before with Octopus, and it worked without any issues for me.

A few more firmware releases for the XT8 yet, not EoL
In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom (J.G.Ballard).
I definitely hope this is not EoL yet. ASUS have finally sorted out the FW on the XT8.
Shame about the bad press ASUS are getting with the repairs and customer services shenanigans on YouTube.
