I know Raven.  I should know better.

Problem is, what’s the answer now?…send all the Asus kit back (3 XT8’s and 2 ET8’s) and stick with the Ubiquiti kit i’ve been using for 5 years which works flawlessly allbeit slowly or take a further punt and return the 3 XT8’s only and get another 2 ET8’s and hope they fix the issues i’m seeing with those too? (client disconnects the same as XT8 firmware greater than 42095 and poor speeds on 5 ghz even to the main node without any backhaul)

Common sense says send it all back but i expect i’ll do the latter

You’re right Raven – i just looked at the lowest and highest channels and didnt notice the chunk missing in the middle.

Id agree that that if each of the 5ghz radios in the XT8 each only support a subset of the channels available in the 5ghz spectrum and if 5ghz-2 only uses the channels missing from the ET8 then it wont work in the current state.

Shame none of this is mentioned on the Asus site. Certainly looks like expanding the existing XT8’s i had with ET8’s to try and increase the backhaul available to an area of the house with a lot of devices was a mistake. In fact, the whole Asus Zenwifi thing is beginning to look like a mistake.

I dont know where you got the information regarding the ET8 not supporting all 5ghz channels as i couldnt fint it on the Asus site but a look on the ET8 wireless log shows that not to be the case.  It looks like all channels, 36-165, are supported.

No, i didnt – i logged the ticket with Asus with my main email address as opposed to the general one i used to sign up here.

I cant see if there’s a way to pm or contact you but if you drop me a mail i’ll reply to you with the Asus ticket ID and email address used.
