RBK 8 Series Only - Unofficial v4.6.6.11 Firmware Experiences
So since NG is giving out some unofficial FW to those who have called in to NG support and users have posted links to this version of FW, I figured I'd try it myself.

I have a friend whos on his 4th ASUS GT-AX1100 due to the 2.5Gb port failing when he connected his xbox to it. No idea if ASUS ever fixed it. Mines working ok however I haven't connected a xbox to this port. Saw slow wireless speed issues on mine which seems to be fixed for Bridge mode now. Router mfrs are not perfect.
Very strange. The XBox specs I find on-line say it has a 10/100/1000 ethernet port. The Asus 2.5G port is 2.5/1. Hard to see how connecting a gigabit device to a 2.5G ethernet port could cause the port to fail. So odd.
Ya, I believe something in there FW or the HW causes it to fail. I thought about connecting my xbox up however didn't want to take the risk. It's been working with a 2.5Gb ethernet PCI adapter connected to it since I installed it. I told same thing to my friend and mentioned to avoid connecting the console to it unless he can find a 2.5Gb device to connect to it. He's still working with ASUS support on it I think. They've just announced another new router with same 2.5Gb port. Were wondering if this has same problem...or not.
