Thanks for the ‘good’ news, ASUS seem to be very tardy with their support for their top WiFi 6E router. I will bear this in mind when it comes time to upgrade to a WiFi 7 router (maybe buy a volume seller which gets more support!!).

Just another question, I have 3 x ET12s and 7 x XD4s, so if the ET12s gets upgraded to ASUSWRT 5.0 will the XD4s still function OK with ASUSWRT 4.0?

Hi @UKSentinel,

Thanks for the info. Strangely, when I looked at:

https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/whole-home-mesh-wifi-system/zenwifi-wifi-systems/asus-zenwifi-pro-et12/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=ASUS-ZenWiFi-Pro-ET12

I couldn’t see this, but it appeared later. How do you get to https://www.asus.com/supportonly/ ?

I have updated my ET12s, but I am rightly expecting 3.0.0.6.102 not another version of 3.0.0.4.388

Your thoughts?

Thanks for your support.

Hi @UKSentinel, I just saw the ASUS RT-AX88U has had a fifth update of Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102. My ET12s are still on version 3.0.0.4.388_24542. Do you have any idea when they will be updated to 3.0.0.6.102? The ET12 was the most advanced and expensive router, but ASUS seems to have abandoned it.

Thanks for any guidance.

Thanks a lot, @UKSentinel. Disappointed with ASUS, but they don’t care as they have my money.

 

Have a good day.

Thanks, @UKSentinel. Are there any Social Media platforms or Forums that ASUS pay attention to, in order to prompt some action, or is that counterproductive?

Hi @UKSentinel, I know you do this voluntarily on behalf of everyone and we all appreciate your efforts and knowledge. I just wanted other people to be aware of the lack of ASUS support.

Have a good day

Hi @UKSentinel, still no new firmware release from ASUS. I am really, really disappointed with the support (or lack of it) from ASUS regarding the ET12. It was their most expensive mesh router and they obviously rushed it to market. However, they have not supported it properly and have still not delivered the expected and promised features. I have invested heavily in ASUS (3 x ET12 and 7 x XD4 purchased in July 2022) and have used many of their products previously. Is there anything we can do to speed up the new firmware release?

Thanks in advance for any support or advice.

Hi, any idea when release 3.0.0.6.102 will be available for ET12?

Thanks

Just a quick update, the ET12’s wired nodes have started dropping connections again (the ET12 as the router is OK) showing a solid red LED, so I re-downgraded the firmware on all three ET12s to release 386.48823. Therefore Version 388.23013 did not fix this issue permanently.

So it seems I will have to wait for release 3.0.0.6.102 and keep my fingers crossed!

Thanks for the info and I appreciate your support for the small ET12 community. I am surprised by the comprehensive coverage of your expertise

I have installed Version 388.23013 and it seems to have fixed the ET12 wired nodes dropping connections showing a solid red LED.

However, they did not include Guest Network Pro (which I want to use for all my IOT devices) and VLAN. Do you know when this is planned, as these features were mentioned in both of the Beta Versions?

Thanks again for your help. Seems I will have to be extremely patient and wait for the production version.

Disappointed the new production firmware has not been released yet for the ET12 to replace version 388. I am still running version 386 for ethernet stability reasons, but want to get all the features this system can deliver.

Has anyone installed the latest beta ASUS ZenWiFi Pro ET12 Firmware version 9.0.0.6.102.4856 and if yes, is it worth installing or is it too buggy? Any idea when the production version will be released?
