    Need info on bringing AC86U back to life as AIMesh unit

    Just so you know, running Merlin on a mesh node offers no advantages over stock firmware. It fact many believe the stock firmware is better for Mesh nodes.

    Long Term Support - Asuswrt-Merlin Router List

    I am curious why you feel you will need to buy a new router at the end of this year? It's not like the one you currently own will just stop working. Much too much is made out a router going EOF. If it has served you well then keep using it. On the other hand, if you feel the need for WiFi 6 or...

    Happy and sad for RT-AC86U

    If it still serves your needs, why replace it. It's not like it's going to suddenly stop working on December 24th. On the other hand if you need WiFi 6 support then it's time to upgrade and you can always use your Ac86u as a mesh node.

    Should I Change From Router Mode to Something Else?

    Your isp router is not in bridge mode or you are plugged int to wrong port if you have a double nat. Make sure you are using the proper port on the isp modem/router.

    Having two access points vs AiMesh?

    I have found AImesh setup to be flaky using WiFI. I alway set up using ethernet first.

    [ 3006.102 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    Maybe this is a dumb question, but I will ask anyway. I noticed there is only support for 2 specific routers right now. I know these aren't the only ones ASUS released 3006 firmware for. Is the reason only these 2 are available is because Merlin only received the GPL's for these 2 routers from...

    AI Mesh node setup without cable?

    I have had mixed results over the years setting up AIMesh wirelessly. I have found the setting it up using ethernet has alsway worked for me. Then you can switch to wireless. In your case you might not be able to set up because you your port is shot.

    ASUS RT-AC68U not working after Merlin firmware update, did I brick it?

    ASUS RT-AC68U routers are kind of old at this point. I would consider upgrading since it sounds like a hardware issue. I would guess you tried all the usual troubleshooting things (reboot, reset, etc.). Have you switched ports your computer is plugged into on the router. Try different cables...

    Solved known incompatibility between Merlin firmware and Stock in AIMESH network ?

    I have found in the past setting up AiMesh using Wifi doesn't always work. I have foundconnecting directly with ethernet always works. Then you can always switch to Wifi. I have also ran the node with both stock and merlin firmware. Contrary to what others have said, I find no difference running...
