    I have installed ZenWiFi XT8s on Merlin firmware. The AiMesh pages indicate that the wireless backhaul has a PHY rate of 1441 Mbps. However, when I run iperf3 between these two routers, it achieves only 350 Mbps. On the wireless log page, the utilization jumps to 80% during the iperf3 session...

    Hello, This is my first post here. I had a ASUS GT-AX6000 wifi router for a few years which worked excellent. I recently moved to a new place in which the single access point cannot cover the premises. So I figured that I needed one more ASUS GT-AX6000 to extend the wifi coverage and that...

Or...

    I’ve got a strange but persistent/repeatable issue in my AiMesh setup. Setup: GT-AXE16000 primary hub, hard-wired through 10G port to 10G broadband (firmware: 3.0.0.4.388_23012), and a 1G port to the nodes Two RT-AC68U nodes, hard-wired through 1G connections (3.0.0.4.386_51665) Repeatable...

    No wifi expert here. Just read a bit of RFC and explanations. Considering node uses the same channels as router, adding this feature sounds like a good idea. Unlikely to mean anything for AC clients, but AX clients should show some benefits. wl0_bsscolor=0 is default, wl1 and wl2 and wl no...

    I currently have a rt-ac86u as an aimesh node. Main router gt-ax6000. Is it worth to upgrade the aimesh node to an rt-ax53u (50€ in Portugal, 2nd hand) to replace the ac-86u? I've compared the specs and, despite the AX, the ax53u is inferior. I'm testing the ac86u as an aimesh node and I...

    Tldr - AiMesh with AX11000+AC68U or AX11000+AC88U with Ethernet backhaul causes main router to drop Internet connectivity. Router page shows WAN connected, but Networking Tools ping function unable to ping 8.8.8.8. Unable to connect to Wi-Fi, LAN devices no Internet. SSH into main router...

    Hi, I have two GT-AXE16000 routers. One primary, and one that I was trying to use as an AiMesh node. The problem I'm getting is that the node constantly resyncs and restarts wireless (as seen in its log), with only a few seconds of actual uptime in between each resync. This results in an...

    I have spent some time to find a working solution and the right settings is pretty surprising to me. My clients were ignoring the AiMesh node even with RSSI -80 dBm on 2.4 GHz band. Long story short. Once I set up 80 MHz channel bandwidth on 5 GHz radio, it started working as requires. It means...

    I have a AX88U Pro with 2 AX86U‘s that are Ethernet backhaul connected at 2.5G. The backhaul appears to be all stable but WiFi is another issue. If I do a reboot then the wifi is good for several days and then it started to degrade at the nodes. When connected to the primary (88U) there is no...

    Hi All, I had been running an XD4 3pc AiMesh setup for a couple of months without a single issue, with the only hiccup being that day last week where apparently Asus pushed a bad update causing the router to crash. I took this opportunity to redo my setup with a single XD6 as my router and...

    Just picked up the AX11000 PRO to pair with my original AX82U. Decided to go with this route instead of going with an Orbi, eero etc. I have it set up with wireless backhaul 5 GH-2. The only concern is the wifi speeds. When connected to the AX11000 PRO (Main), right next to it, I get about...

    Hi all, I have a odd issue that I've not been able to resolve over the past few days. I've had an RT-AX86U for some time, running Merlin 388.2. I've recently purchased a TUF-AX6000 which I'm using as a AiMesh node, connected on the WAN 2.5Gbps port, via a switch, to the RT-AX86U, which is...

    Long story short, we have a lot of smart home and wireless devices (~165) and I’ve been struggling with wireless clients (usually lights or speakers) dropping out and becoming unresponsive for long periods (45min-2hrs), only to reconnect on their own if I haven’t physically intervened by...

The other two routers are then setup as AIMesh nodes in the home with one on the main floor and the other in the basement. The home is a...

    With stock 388 firmware, is it possible to login to an AIMesh router and issue a command to do an AIMesh system reboot? In other words, reboot both the Router and nodes. The "reboot" command reboots only the router. I know one can ssh into each node and reboot them, but since the GUI has...

    Already using one RP-AX56 for an AiMesh node and while I wouldn't call it rock solid, it can hum along for several months without any issues. And when issues do arise, most of the time I can pull it from the wall, wait a minute, plug it back in & 9 out of 10 times, it comes back on ready to...

    So I have an AiMesh system with an AX86U main router and one node. My node was an AC66U B1, which I recently replaced with an XT8. After I started using the XT8, I noticed that a lot more clients were connecting to it vs. the main router. Pretty much only the devices that are in the same room...

    Sort of a follow-up to my other thread where I was trying to figure out if there's a way to use the 5GHz-2 (4x4 160MHz) band on the XT8 as both backhaul and fronthaul with AiMesh. Spoiler alert - you can't. You can only use it as backhaul. Okay, so I'm using the other band for devices. However...
