    AiMesh - adding new nodes - NEVER successful on first attempt but works if retrying

    This is my understanding on how to add new nodes to an AiMesh: 1. Set up new box, browse to default IP 192.168.1.1 - step through and select to add it as a new node. It reboots. 2. Unplug ethernet to new box and ensure it is close to master router on the AiMesh 3. On the master box, search for...

    RT-AC68U AiMesh - Keeps dropping all 4 nodes

    I have 5 RT-AC68U's in a mesh. They are all connected by ethernet backhaul - no wireless. Frequently (at least once a week) all nodes stop working and are shown as offline in the AiMesh node list. This is fixed by rebooting the main router but in the meantime brings down Wifi for all nodes. I...

    Trying to create AIMesh using RT-AC86Us - but won't mesh using wifi

    Thanks OE - some useful ideas there. I'll try that out. The 4G router is because my internet is via a 4G SIM card. If i turn it off I won't have any internet. I have the Wifi analyser app. I will do some testing over the weekend. Thanks again for your tips!

    Trying to create AIMesh using RT-AC86Us - but won't mesh using wifi

    Is AIMesh dependent on 5G? The house has concrete floors so 1 box doesn't work unfortunately

    Trying to create AIMesh using RT-AC86Us - but won't mesh using wifi

    Hi All I am attempting to set up a mesh in a 3 storey house. On the top floor is the main Asus router (a 4G enabled RT-AC86U). On each of the lower floors I have a RT-AC86U. I have set up all boxes on the top floor and they have joined the mesh. The problem is, when I deploy them to lower...

    Asus AIMesh - how to 'push' network changes to nodes

    I recently set up an Aimesh - main router is a 4G-AC68U, the 3 nodes are RT-AC68U's - all connected by ethernet cable. The mesh appears to be working for the most part. All boxes are visible from the main router and the app. However, I set up a 'Guest Wifi' on the main box but its not showing...

    Help!!! Asus 4G-AC68U keeps dropping connection

    Hi Burnsy - no luck whatsoever. I have ordered a couple of 4G external antennas from AliExpress and will see if installing them helps. Oddly, I don't get the issue with the SIM card in a mobile phone. I'm on box no 5 now and still the same issues. Any ideas from your end?

    Help!!! Asus 4G-AC68U keeps dropping connection

    Hi Smokindog Why do I need a 4G Hotspot? I could borrow one from work but how does that leave me better off? Isn't that the function of the Asus router? Sorry if I'm missing the point.

    Help!!! Asus 4G-AC68U keeps dropping connection

    Thank you Smokindog - this is REALLY helpful and appreciate the full response. I'm guessing you are in the US, which I am not, so don't think my carrier being CSL will be of much help! I'm using a Samsung Galaxy 8+ handset. I did try 2 external aerials but I susquently learnt that their cable...

    Help!!! Asus 4G-AC68U keeps dropping connection

    Yes, I've tried multiple sims with Jo improvement. And tried the sims in my phune and they work without issue. Hence the question, what could cause the WiFi box to "choke" from time to time?

    Help!!! Asus 4G-AC68U keeps dropping connection

    Thanks. My router auto configured after I put in the SIM. No further configuration is required. It is running off an APC UPS so the power should be stable. The only issue is that the WAN status comes up as 'disconnected'. Switching off / on WAN or rebooting the device reconnects it...

    Help!!! Asus 4G-AC68U keeps dropping connection

    Sorry, forgot to answer that. 3 ways... 1. There is a factory default option in the router administration interface 2. There is a small button on the back that needs a paper clip to reset the box. 3. The vendor gave me a new box to try. Didn't help unfortunately.

    No. The boxes have a sim slot integrated into the devices.

    Help!!! Asus 4G-AC68U keeps dropping connection

    All routers have a sim slot. I've tried multiple SIMS. I don't think it's a hardware fault per say, but external factor could cause a router to 'hang' repeatedly and need a reboot?

    Help!!! Asus 4G-AC68U keeps dropping connection

    Yes. Many times across 4 boxes. Trying to figure out what would make a router 'choke' and need a reset so often.

    Help!!! Asus 4G-AC68U keeps dropping connection

    Yes, many times and reconfiged from scratch. As it's the forth box with the same issue I'm thinking something on the network is causing this or an issue with the tower but how to diagnose? Any advise appreciated.

    Help!!! Asus 4G-AC68U keeps dropping connection

    I have a new Asus 4G-AC68U. The problem I have is it intermittently keeps disconnecting the 4G Wan link. I had no issues for around 2 years. About a year ago the 4G box would drop the 4G connection and just show as disconnected. If I check the WAN status it will show 'connecting' and then work...
