Wow ... thanks for the heads up

Is it all the Asus router that come with 3 years Asus Malaysia warranty, the warranty cover by Advancenet Technology nationwide ?

Plan to get Asus RT-AX88U next month. Any shop in Lowyat Plaza to recommend ?

Thanks !

Can RT-AX88U easily cover 2000sqft double storey house ? Especially the 5Ghz wifi ?

Means ZenWifi XT8 is a better choice ?

My expectation is to have smooth 4K streaming throughout the house with 3 to 5 devices at the same time.

Budget below 2k.

Currently subscribed to 100mbps, but potentially upgrade to 300mbps in near future.

Thanks for the recommendation. XT8 can perform higher than 400 mbps ? Mesh node can achieve these speed with wireless backhaul ? Wireless backhaul mean connect the mesh node to main unit through wifi, so mesh node only need power socket n nothing else right ?

Do u have the link to Blacktubi review ?

Anyone know when is the tentative launching date in MY for ZenWifi Pro XT12 or ET12 ?

Thanks for the update.
I thought it going to take months to arrived here so bought myself XT8 last Saturday
Should have wait a little bit longer

I predict will be RM2k++

Definitely will give it a pass if cost more than RM2000+
But if u look at Asus AX6000 router (RT-AX88U), it cost almost the same with XT8 2pack.

Hope Asus won't charge RM1000 for the upgrade

Btw, anyone have upgrade ur XT8 to latest firmware version 46061? Any comment or face any issue?

Thanks ... glad to hear that, will upgrade mine soon

Then, it's shouldn't be a surprise if the price here in the range of RM3000+ to RM4000+
Selling price in US for ET12 is US$899.

Anybody has suggestion for extension cord for Asus Zenwifi XT8's power adapter ?

Plan to mount the router near the ceiling but the cord from the power adapter is not long enough, and don't want to use power socket extension if possible.

What's the downside if I connect TUF-AX4200 (dual band) to my ZenWifi XT8 using wireless backhaul ?

TUF-AX4200 have speed of 3603Mbps on 5Ghz band, so half of that would be 1800Mbps, even faster than XT8 node which is 1200Mbps. So, theoretically can support Unifi 1Gbps plan with this setup.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the explanation, currently I'm using 500Mbps, so I need to add another XT8 then. Planning to add another Aimesh node next to my computer in another room using wireless backhaul, then connect the node to computer using ethernet cable, should get me full n stable 500Mbps internet.

But will consider XT12 for future proof.

Or downgrade to 100Mbps, save all the headache n money

Hi, hope someone can help me on this.

I'm using Asus Zenwifi XT8 Aimesh with wireless backhaul and the connection between main and node show "Great".

1) My computer with shared folder is connected to the main router, when my Apple TV is connecting to the main router too, it can access the shared folder through SMB, but once I connect it to the node, it couldn't access the shared folder anymore unless I disable the AIprotection. How do I allow the shared folder access in this case without disabling the AIprotection ?

2) The shared folder transfer speed is very slow at 20 to 30 Mbps only with SMB 2.0, even though I can get more than 300Mbps when I do internet speed test. My computer is connected to wifi and Apple TV is connected to node through wired.

If I connect the Apple TV to the main router through wired, it can achieve above 200Mbps speed.

Anyway I can improve this.

Thanks !
