dose it work with the ZenWiFi XT9

[DJkitty2]

I own the ZenWiFi XT9 and I’m curious to know if there are any compatible versions or if there are any other options that work. Please let me know if I’ve overlooked something.

Same question here. +1

Same. Hope it gets supported

It actually looks like the XT8 and XT9 are identical except that the XT9 supports more channels. Somebody compared firmwares. See Source. Perhaps this would make it easier for @gnuton to also support the XT9 AKA XT8-PRO. 🤞🏻😅

Hey,
I checked the configs and it looks like they build against the same SDK and same hardware (BCM53134) but they have different target profiles (947622GW vs 96756GW). I am not sure although much much compatible are the prebuilds.

This is from the target.mak
you can see there that they are different BCM53134 vs
export HND-947622_BASE := HND_ROUTER=y HND_ROUTER_AX_675X=y PROFILE="947622GW" ...
export RT-AX95Q := $(HND-947622_BASE)
export RT-AX95Q += BUILD_NAME="RT-AX95Q" SWITCH2="BCM53134"

export HND-96756_BASE := HND_ROUTER=y HND_ROUTER_AX_6756=y PROFILE="96756GW" ...
export XT8PRO := $(HND-96756_BASE)
export XT8PRO += BUILD_NAME="XT8PRO" SWITCH2="BCM53134" NVSIZE="128"

Thanks for the quick reply! So I guess this means that they can't be easily supported? I was hoping it would be easily supported as they looked identical and thus we would get XT9 support on Merlin. 😁

I do not have access to XT9 GPL nor I do not have any hw, but I would guess it may be possible to hack something to get XT9 work with XT8 stuff we now have.

That would be great! Is there any way I can help? I'm no programmer but have 2 XT9's in mesh I could run things on to provide info or such maybe.

Hi all GPL available on ASUS website (but old version I believe, unsure how it works): https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wireless/ZenWiFi_XT9/GPL_ZENWIFI_XT9_300438821963.zip?model=ZenWiFi%20XT9 I'm also interested in XT9 support. willing to alpha/beta test. Best, HB

I was looking at how we integrated the XT8_V2 and noticed that there is extensive XT8PRO support already included as part of one of the previous merges: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Agnuton%2Fasuswrt-merlin.ng%20XT8PRO&type=code
