    Node vs main router

    I have two RT-AX86U connected in mesh by cable. Main router is downstairs with node in second floor. I also have Xbox console upstairs connected wirelessly to 5Ghz band. I measured wifi signal from both Router and Node at console position with Router showing -66dBm and Node - 27dBm. I have to...

    amtm amtm step-by-step install guide - L&LD

    @L&LD hi, you mentioned as point 4 of the instructions: 4. Enable SSH to 'LAN Only' I run Asuswrt on my 2x RT-AX86U in cable mesh, no USB drives nor any PCs plugged to LAN. In Administration - System - Enable SSH is No. Do I need to enable SSH the way you recommended? I don't have much info...

    Wireless backhaul for two Asus RT-AX86U - good idea?

    Well, node installed. Cat7 LAN backhaul to LAN1 on router and WAN on node. WAN port on router works as LAN for IoT hub. Everything works fine. Thanks again for assistance.

    Asus Zenwifi XT8 lag spikes

    Then my issue was probably different than yours as I still had it even after disabling smart connect AND node with one router access. In any case, ZenWiFi AX is back to Amazon and I'm now happy owner of RT-AX86U with second RT-AX86U added as node with LAN backhaul :)

    Wireless backhaul for two Asus RT-AX86U - good idea?

    Neeh, connected one of IoT hubs to WAN which indeed works as LAN just fine! Will use LAN1 for backhaul. Thanks again.

    Wireless backhaul for two Asus RT-AX86U - good idea?

    Thanks, does it now make WAN port work as LAN or do I have to change any settings for that? If yes can I now use it for cable backhaul?

    Wireless backhaul for two Asus RT-AX86U - good idea?

    @L&LD I have all 4 LAN ports on my primary router occupied by IoT hubs. Need one extra for the node. Primary router is connected to ISP modem through LAN cable which is connected to WAN port. My ISP speed is 200/10. As far as I know I can use 2.5G port as WAN which will make WAN port of the...

    Asus RT-AX86U Gaming Configuration

    Not sure if it's the right forum to post some questions but I received very valuable replies to set my new RT-AX86U up and home there will be some gamers here to share some knowledge. I'm running Asuswrt and have general information about how Asus QoS works. Have Game on highest priority...

    Wireless backhaul for two Asus RT-AX86U - good idea?

    Nope. I'm extremely limited with space. My ISP modem is in the entrance wardrobe, I had to drill a hole in the wall to have my primary router be connected to it and placed on the wall close to ceiling. I also connected 4 IoT devices hubs on the same wall which are connected by cable. The rest of...

    Wireless backhaul for two Asus RT-AX86U - good idea?

    Exactly, didn't read it right, will do., will be using Cat6 for backhaul which I think should be plenty. My ISP speed is 200/10 which will probably never increase, do you think using 2.5g port will make any difference compared to WAN (switched to LAN)?

    Anyone can share best settings for AX-86U with latest factory firmware?

    I'm so sorry, I misspelled the thread as 2.5Hz backhaul. Will get through it now. Thanks again. Using Asuswrt 386. Was recommended to look at Merlin after stable release is available :)

    Wireless backhaul for two Asus RT-AX86U - good idea?

    I read it before posting, thanks. I wasn't looking for 2.4Hz backhaul as 2.4Hz airspace is insanely crowded in all rooms. Finally found a way for LAN backhaul which I will implement. Thanks.

    Anyone can share best settings for AX-86U with latest factory firmware?

    Makes sence of corse and that's what I did setting up the router. Apparently one is not enough for second floor, so I've just ordered another RT-AX86U. I also found a way to use LAN cable for backhaul. From your experience will node connected via LAN backhaul provide close/same theoretical wifi...

    Wireless backhaul for two Asus RT-AX86U - good idea?

    I wander if 2.5G LAN port can be used on router to connect with LAN cable to the node? Also if backhaul is wired will the node hav same theoretical wireless speed and latency as if wireless device would've been connected to primary router?

    Wireless backhaul for two Asus RT-AX86U - good idea?

    @Klueless thanks for the feedback. We'll it's because TV cables were put in the walls when apartment building was during construction, putting a new cable now means opening channels in the walls, closing them after, painting entire room(s) etc. Not an easy thing to do in my part of the world :)...

    Anyone can share best settings for AX-86U with latest factory firmware?

    Thanks! I've set my router up and even though I really hoped one will be enough, upstairs in farthest room 5Hz reception is almost none existant, only 2.4Hz provides some signal. Since I disabled Smart Connect devices will not roam through the frequencies. If I add both 5Hz and 2.4Hz networks...

    Wireless backhaul for two Asus RT-AX86U - good idea?

    I had bad luck with Asus ZenWiFi AX as I had lag spikes similar to few other users in this community. Sent it back and just setup a new Asus RT-AX86U. Also positioned it as close to the center of entrance floor as I could. I was really hoping one unit will be enough but with current tests two...
