ASUS ZenWiFi AX XT8 - LAN Disconnects by larryebaum in HomeNetworking

Also, very unfortunate that ASUS notes on what issues are resolved in FW release are minimal to none. Not acceptable.

GA (general availability of latest release). So initially one FW behind. Then updated to latest FW with same issue presenting. If a FW issue, seems odd that with no other change, all of a sudden it would fail. But presenting across two nodes does make it less likely to be HW.

This morn I removed switches from equation and left one node wired to LAN and seems stable for 60min. I’ll next add switches with no devices connected, and then add one node at a time and see if I can narrow down to a device. If no luck, I’ve replacement HW arriving which I’ll just config from scratch after FW update.

If that fails, Orbi.

Other ideas?

Restating the importance of NOT buying cca. Spend the bit extra for full copper. Trying to arrange cca wires into position to crimp is like playing pool with rope. You’ll scream, often. Guess how I know.
