Isp is sky, using a sky router! Can you feel my pain
Enjoy the lack of wifi with your SKY router – When/If XT9 arrive, hope you will appreciate the 5GHz band (5GHz-1) that supports the 160MHz channel and also runs on a slightly more powerful CPU<noscript>
</noscript>As I await a full fat fibre connection, even the xt8’s were over kill for my fttc line, but the slightly better spec Vs the slight cost difference was an easy decision to make,
altho at that might turn around & bite back yet,

I’m not able to test any fw at the moment, back on isp router🤬
for whatever reason Asus found my XT8’s at fault so directed me back to the supplying retailer for a resolution,
Long story short, I traded up to a pair of XT9’s over the Black Friday weekend at a sale price with another retailer,
My XT8’s returned via Royal Mail ( delayed with strike action or lost in transit) so no refund as yet)
No XT9’s as retailer screwed up & none in stock ( tho currently still shows stock available) for next day delivery!
I might get them in the new year! they think! (but I can’t get a straight answer from them)Post sale prices on both XT8’s & XT9’s have shot up everywhere,

I’ve been trying the beta 21493. My XT8 is now telling me to upgrade to 388_21617
Seems this version of firmware is only applicable to ZenWIFI XT8 of V1 version hardware ? News to myself thou ?
Depending on how long the dev’s take to run the correct routine, I would expect 21617 to go live on the web shortly :)

I would not worry about the 21099 offline beta, will cause more confusion
No worries & feedback sent,
altho with my typing skills being slower than slow, the 30 min auto logout did cause me to start afresh after it kicked me out,
While working twice as hard negates the real reason of having to provide feedback twice🙈
the former always sounds better 🤭

Understood, before you roll back, can you send a feedback and mention in comments box ‘UK Sentinel’ and describe issue, at least they will have a point of reference .
<noscript>
</noscript>Will do, I did fire the same few lines of the log back to Asus support against my open ticket, marked up for info only & outlined the issue along with the beta version.
Then I would open full communication once back on the general stable release 21099.

Interesting regarding ‘HTTPD: waiting ‘ are any USB drives in use ?
No usb connected, never had the need, With the general release fw, web history seems populate correctly, then no new data entries after 1 or 2 day’s of uptime, but trying to access web history on the beta’s lock the gui up inside a similar timeframe. TM systems don’t seem to be 100% in the recent beta’s for me, but don’t know if that’s by design or omission. Tom…
Might be worth testing the offline 21099 beta that UK Sentinel shared with me?
Can you confirm the fw dodgy, as 3.0.0.4.388.21099 is the last stable general release!

On beta fw 9.0.0.4.388_21493
I’m still having the same issue with the router gui locking up after trying to access it’s web history,
with an uptime of circa 36Hrs (1 to 2 days I normally see errors) but this time free ram is just over 100MB, definitely an improvement in ‘reported’ memory with 21493 fw
still seems to be a max data entry limit causing errors for me.
I had recently opened a ticket with Asus Re: my web history, but put that on hold while I took the recent beta’s for a test drive,
so for me, I’m gonna rollback to a clean install of the general release 3.0.0.4.388.21099 fw, before I continue with my open ticket with Asus.

Running 9.0.0.4.388.21493 beta
Had some free time time this morning, so did a factory reset (gui followed by a hard rest) & then manually re-applied any custom configuration settings, followed by a system reboot.
System up with 110 free ram, web history is now available & working, but the AI protection / malicious site blocking is not.
The jffs files repopulated the web history from yesterday’s usage & show web history failed just short of 4pm, roughly about 6Hrs up time, I didn’t save the log files from yesterday, but with a quick glance I didn’t notice anything obvious, but I didn’t have a narrow enough timeline to check in depth.
Currently free ram sitting at 104 MB with an uptime of 1Hr20,
Normally I would expect the free ram to fall over the next few day’s & my web history to fail in some sort of way before I reach 72Hrs of uptime.
However as not all of the the TM systems appear to be enabled, I’m not expecting the free ram to drop to low, but will see how that affects overall stability of the system & it’s sub systems over the next few day’s.

Cheers UK Sentinel.
Just installed the .21493 beta,
need a couple of days uptime to see how the TrendMicro performs,
but at least it’s working in this release, so defo a step up from the 21101 beta👍
free ram gained, up from 81 > 100, so not a big a jump as dodgydrains,
anything lower than 80% & router did seem to behave like a moody teenager😃
so fingers crossed there.

Well I test drove the beta 21101 fw for a few days, but it has it’s problems.
I use the TrendMicro systems, but as this didn’t function correctly with the 21101 beta fw, I rolled back to the 21099 fw.
Initially TrendMicro systems were still off-line on the 21099 fw,
but a factory reset brought all TrendMicro services back on-line, so at least I have web history back again, free ram is down to 94% already, but the 21099 fw is the lesser of 2 evils.
I had been undecided if to roll back away from this beta, or to see how the free ram plays out a little bit longer, but as some web pages were slow to load & a bit erratic this morning, a rollback it was.
my initial thought had been that the router had bombed-out on the beta fw,
I managed a whopping 2.3Mbs download out of my 80/20 line.
As the TrendMicro systems came back online the cause of my poor download speed appeared,
1 of my kids on her desktop was maxing out the bandwidth with a large download,
between a flaky beta causing issues & kids being awake enough to function at 8.30am on a Saturday morning I’d point the finger at the beta fw every time👍
Until now that is 👍

After a positive start running 21268,
I’m back to the general release fw 21099 on both my router & node.
Trying to access web history is still crashing the router after a a couple of days, so being no better off I’ve rolled the fw back.
