    Announcement: 3006 progress report - it's a go

    They may have very well been the case several years ago, but I think with auto updating, it’s probably less the case now. Just keeping security vulnerabilities patched is a big driver for vendors like Asus.

    AIMesh node vs Access Point mode / AIMesh Router in AP mode

    That's a good suggestion and may give that a try when I get a few hours.

    AIMesh node vs Access Point mode / AIMesh Router in AP mode

    Maybe I’m just overthinking this. The mesh nodes are wired. Ethernet Backhaul Mode is already enabled as posted. Not trying to do wireless between the mesh nodes and router. For some reason there is a setting for AIMesh Node and also a setting for AIMesh Router in AP Mode. If the only...

    AIMesh node vs Access Point mode / AIMesh Router in AP mode

    I hear you. As I told you, I want simple off the shelf consumer solutions that my wife can simply reboot if there are issues. I don’t want to manage a complicated network at home long term. Just want to understand more about all the AIMesh options. It’s proprietary and not documented very well...

    AIMesh node vs Access Point mode / AIMesh Router in AP mode

    Yup get that, but want to understand what the difference is between just using APs and using APs in AIMesh mode.

    AIMesh node vs Access Point mode / AIMesh Router in AP mode

    Can someone provide a link to an article or post (I’ve looked) or give an explanation of the technical difference between these settings? I have 3 routers connected in a mesh with Ethernet Backhaul Mode set. Having some possible issues and thought about setting up as AIMesh in AP mode but...

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    The ping is 4ms. The others are higher during data transfer. Jitter is also low. This is a test I just took on my phone. What do you believe the ping times should be?

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    And then this happens. There are 16 devices connected to the network, a mix of IOT, phones, laptops, and A/V. Most aren't doing anything and not using much (if any) bandwidth. So why are downloads seemingly hitting a wall at 500Mbps?

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    Meaning what? That's the entire problem. Clients that say they're connecting with 160MHz bandwidth (I'm in a semi rural area without DFS interference) and with 2Gb+ port speeds are barely getting 500Mbps to the Internet.

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    RT-AX88U Pro not the older model. Has two 2.5Gb ports, one for WAN and one for LAN, and when using AIMesh, the WAN port is the backhaul port.

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    The first test is a client using wifi connected to one of the mesh nodes connected via the 2.5Gb WAN port, through a 2.5Gb capable switch. The wiring in the house was run by an electrician and some of the jacks were punched down by the fiber install tech. No crossover cables used, and all...

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    Weird, so now I'm getting more upload than download. At the main router, the testing still shows full provisioned speed both up and down.

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    Walkout basement on partial concrete foundation on slab. Standard stick framing. There’s no way the router in the basement which connects to the ONT could service the 2nd floor. I have the 2nd floor mesh node connected in my media room, via wired back haul to the basement router, and my TV, A/V...

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    Not to be rude, but did you read any of my posts in the thread?

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    The Comcast scenario was at my old house. We just closed on a new home with 3 stories and 5600 sq ft. Doing what you said is an option but I wanted to keep 2.4 for IOT and other devices that don’t need high speed. I also like the Smart Connect roaming. My iPhone now is maxing out the 80 MHz...
