Question about ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 WiFi 6 AX6600 (2 Pack)

Has anyone else had problems with this router and the Salt router when connecting the 2.5 gbe to the 10 gbe? As soon as you use the 2.5 gbe connection it permanently cuts the connection and in the syslog you can see how eth0 is permanently reactivated. Something is wrong with this part!

I can confirm this. Salt Fiber Box only runs reliably if you use one (or two) of the 1GB/s connections.

The firmware 3.0.0.4.386_46061 solves the problem. It is only difficult to update because the device constantly loses the connection (30% package drop).

Workarounds:

1. connect a GBit switch between the ASUS ZenWiFi and the DMS-106XT.
2. connect a laptop to the 3 LAN ports of the ASUS ZenWiFi (i.e. from "inside"), start the Web UI, enable SSH (Administration -> System -> Enable SSH: LAN&WAN), log in via SSH as root, and then switch to GBit Ethernet with the following command:

ethctl eth0 media-type 1000FD

Control:

ethctl eth0 media-type

Important: The command displays the status from before. So if you change from 2500FD to GBit Ethernet, you will see "Link is Up at Speed: 2.5G, Duplex: FD".

This is temporary until the next reboot.
