    I want to add an ASUS DSL-68U with Merlin firmware as node to my existing aimesh network with 2 other asus devices (RT-AX82U), but cant get it to find any nodes. The DSL-68U is factory reset on merlin firmware. I only set it up so that the first ethernet port is now a WAN port in order to add...

    I have a windows 11 PC with a wired connection to an AIMesh node (AC68). The main router is an AX86Pro. I have a windows 11 laptop and a Chromebook. Both have no issues making an RDP connection to the Windows 11PC when they are within a foot or so of the node (and so, I am assuming, connected...

    I have a GT-AX11000 with three GT-AX11000 nodes. When i am at the network map page (index.asp), under AiMesh, I see my three AiMesh nodes. Is there a reason the last two GT-AX11000 nodes don't have the icon? I see this in the system log Oct 30 17:21:48 lld2d[1826]: get_icon_image: reading...

    I have a fairly feeble AiMesh setup, AC86u as the main router, and AC68u as an AiMesh node. My main router is rebooted daily, but the node was just sitting there for weeks of uptime. Anyway, it would become somewhat flaky after a while - so then why not just reboot the AiMesh node nightly too...

    Hi, I'm using the AX86U dual-band router as the main mesh router and the older XT8 tri-band as a mesh node. As you may already know, the XT8's 5GHz-1 band does not support 160MHz. In my setup, I selected Ethernet Backhaul Mode so in theory both 5Ghz-1 and 5Ghz-2 should be available to use...

    I have a pair of RT-AX68U both running 386.7_2 configured as an AIMesh with a Wireless backhaul. Backhaul connection is Good. I have 3 SSIDs configured: gnmnet, gnmguest, gnmdevs. The latter 2 are guest SSIDs. However looking at the network with InSSIDer it appears that the mesh node is only...

    I am trying to add a second AiMesh node to my home network and I have been FRUSTRATINGLY unsuccessful. My existing network setup has worked flawlessly for me, but I've added Ring cameras to the network and need a stronger signal for some cameras. See below for current network configuration. So...

    Two RT-AX68U (fw 388.1) routers are in AiMesh mode. The "Main_WStatus_Content.asp" menu (System Log->Wireless Log->Wireless 2.4 GHz) displays only those Wi-Fi devices that are connected to the master/main AiMesh router. How to find "Rx/Tx & RSSI" parameters for devices connected to a AiMesh Node?

    I used to have an old AC68U and got a AX86U lately. I created an AiMesh system and added the AX86U as a node. Now the AC68U is showing it's age. Now I want to swap their role for AC86U to be the router and AC68U to be the node. Is there any easy way to do this other than factory resetting both...

    Hi all, I have a potential aimesh issue since upgrading to asus-merlin 388.1, and I would really appreciate if you have any suggestions on how to resolve it. In my house I have an aimesh network consisting of an RT-AX86U in my front room that acts as the primary router, and two RT-AX68Us in...

    Hello everybody, I'm a very curious guy. I've always read that using the same wifi channel used by another device is not the right thing. Now I see that my AiMesh uses the same channel! So using the same channel is now the right thing? I'm confused.

    Hey, There were a lot of known issues when trying to connect new Nodes to AiMesh using the wireless method. I just wanted to let everyone who struggled with it, that it seems to be fixed and working with 388.1. I've added a Node (DSL-AC68U) running regular Asus firmware with no issues. I hope...

    I have 2 Asus AQ-95 or commonly known as XT8's as nodes and running on 388.1-gnuton0_beta3 while the main router is a ZenWiFi Pro XT12, running on 388.1 Merlin. I sent both units that were V1 (Hardware) back to Asus after 1.5 years of fixing it to no avail. Asus also has technicians checked...

    Hi all, I have an AC86U running Asus Merlin latest firmware (386.9) and an AC68U which I want to set up as an AIMesh node. But I can't get it to work, at all. I've done this before - but had to factory reset the AC68U earlier this week for something else, and now can't restore it as an AIMesh...

    Hi Hi, Is there any way to access the web management page for the Aimesh Node ? I was hoping to see Wireless Log of the client connecting to the Node rather than to the Router.

    Why for paring a node with Asuswrt-Merlin i need ETH? With stock firmware there is not problem with Wi-Fi paring. Where is the problem? Thanks and Good work.

    RT-AC86U as router, multiple RT-AC68U as nodes all wired backhaul. If I upgrade any nodes or the router to anything above 386.5_2, the nodes show as offline. If I remove the existing nodes and try to re add the nodes fresh they are not discovered at all. I have tried many combinations on...

    Hello, I have a ASUS RT-AX82U as my main router, which I place Merlin firmware on today. I also have a RT-Ac67u which I flashed with DSL-AC68U_386.9_0-gnuton1_NO-DSL-FIRMWARE.trx firmware. However, after successfully flashing the RT-AC67u did not have any mention of Merlin in the top header so...

    While playing with AiMesh and guest network access, I've uncovered a security issue - I think this is kind of an edge case, but given the way many of us hoard and reuse our older hardware I wanted to bring it to attention. My AiMesh router is a GT-AXE11000, a tri-band router on...

    I just upgraded my primary router to a GT-AXE11000 (388.1), and will be using my old RT-AC5300 (386.9) as an AiMesh node. I did a temporary setup to test it out using ethernet backhaul (the permanent install has to wait until I can run ethernet & power to its new home), and everything worked...

    Hello, I Have a GT AXE16000 running 388.1 Asus WRT Merlin firmware and I try to add a ZenWifi XD6S as an AImesh node. The 16000 does not detect the XD6. Has anyone ever tried this ?

    Is it possible to run a script on the main router when a specific AiMesh node is up and running as a node? Alternately what I'm trying to do could also work if it's possible to run a script when an AiMesh node is initially setup/connected to the main router. Thanks, Harry

    I've read various opinions on which firmware to run on AiMesh nodes, from it doesn't matter too much, to run as close to the same version as your router. I also heard that running the Asus firmware instead of Merlin is suggested, which is what I'm doing now. I'm sure many others may be...

    Upon upgrading to Asuswrt Merlin 388.1, there seems to be a visual bug on the web interface showing Ethernet backhaul as lacking connection, when the link appears to function as normal. I'm using two RT-AX86U's, one as a node, both running 388.1, on "Ethernet Backhaul Mode." This appears to...

    It's just an aesthetic issue, but it is just happening with one of the nodes I just bought a few days ago. The main router (RT-AX88u) and some nodes (RT-AX88U, RT-AX68u and RT-AX58u v1) are updated to Asuswrt Merlin 388.1. The new node, a TUF-Gaming AX300 is in the stock firmware (as there is...

    Hi, I am sorry if this has been asked before but I have seen a few different posts about how it is best practice to run stock/factory Asus firmware on the AiMesh nodes vs Merlin. Can someone explain why that is? Is there any downfall in running Merlin on both? I have a 3 node setup, two AX86U's...
