    AI Mesh node setup without cable?

    Google Nest, Private WAN IP the same as mine... you go open book, Pro.

    Release ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_34312 - 2024/05/09

    Are there any options for Guest Network Pro propagation to nodes or they work on the main router only in your Pro + non-Pro AiMesh? @OzarkEdge perhaps has more configuration options with Pro node on the same VLAN capable firmware? My question is in relation of eventual AiMesh evolution using...

    Mesh Nodes Orphaning

    I would explore wire options in this part of the building. Nothing wireless is better than Ethernet connections.

    ASUS RT-AC86U won't update Firmware?

    I found by accident Google Nest grows fancy popcorn style antennas instantly when fed 120V directly. Free Pro tip for your Nest.

    ASUS RT-AC86U won't update Firmware?

    Thanks for the tip, but they grow very slowly on 19V. I grow antennas on 48V and they extend like bamboo sprouts. Will write a guide soon.

    ASUS RT-AC86U won't update Firmware?

    Lucky you. Last time I tried to extend an Asus router the antennas broke off. Next time I'll try to soak it in water first.

    GT-AX6000 2.5GLan to WiFi speed

    Agree, 200MB/s can be reached when Wi-Fi around is quiet. I've seen it in my own tests. What is going on with your Asuswrt-Merlin configuration - I don't know.

    ASUS RT-AC86U won't update Firmware?

    This is what happens when your router is not Windows 11 Ready. 🤭

    GT-AX6000 2.5GLan to WiFi speed

    This is a link speed, not throughput. The throughput is up to about 1.7Gbps and only if nothing else (you or neighbors) is using the same Wi-Fi channels, the PC can do sustained R/W above this speed to its own internal storage, the Wi-Fi adapter involved can actually do this speed, your RPi-like...

    AI Mesh node setup without cable?

    As described in post #4 above you can now flash Asuswrt-Merlin on top of Asuswrt without reset on your main router and have both wireless AiMesh working plus Asuswrt-Merlin extra features. Unfortunately, if AiMesh fails for some reason you have to do this firmware juggling again and you can't...

    AI Mesh node setup without cable?

    This FAQ was updated in Jan 2024 and shows example pictures from Nov 2017 382 base firmware with early AiMesh 1.0 version. Asus has to hire some more people and update the Web, fix firmware Help tooltips, do better Customer Support in general. Their official FAQ pages are actually years behind...

    MAC Filter Options

    No. I'm more science oriented person and prefer Newton's "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".

    Release ASUS RT-AX86U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6_102_34312 - 2024/05/09

    What's the behavior of Guest Network Pro on the main Pro router when the node is a non-Pro router? Is there anything in Pro firmware explaining what to expect and how Guest Network propagation to nodes is going to work after 3.0.0.6 upgrade?
