    Wireless and powerline adapters?

    I would recommending using moca adapters as powerline adapters are good for single devices but for a better more stable connection moca works better. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013J7O3X0/?tag=snbforums-20

    AC87U 2.4GHz and LAN 2,3 ports not working

    I am sorry to hear, sounds like hardware failure, you could try whatever CFE modifications that were suggested to see if that fixes the issue, but tread cautiously.

    Merlin, AiMesh & AP Mode

    this is merlin's current feature listing on the web site Features With a few rare exceptions, Asuswrt-Merlin retains the features from the original stock Asus firmware. In addition, the following features have been added or enhanced: System: Various bugfixes Performance optimizations to some...

    Philips Hue Bridge & Sonos connected to AiMesh node randomly not discoverable on LAN

    is the apps on wireless devices? if it is, you can go to your wireless settings within the router and access the professional tab and enable IGMP snooping which is usually disabled by default, from my experience, this improves how the communication on the network is routed to wireless devices on...

    Merlin, AiMesh & AP Mode

    I would say the main advantage comes when running merlin on your aimesh router vs node, but you would want to take your primary router out of AP mode and run it as your main router and bridge any other routers in front of it to prevent double nat. you could then benefit from all the enhanced...

    AC87U 2.4GHz and LAN 2,3 ports not working

    firstly if the 2.4 ghz works on stock asus try flashing back to a slightly older version of stock firmware, then complete a factory reset,then flash to most current stock asus firmware then factory reset, then flash over to most recent version of merlin firmware, and perform another reset. one...

    Lost internet (Comcast was down) all Wifi disconnected

    it may help only way to know is to test it. Some isp function better with these types of adjustments.

    Lost internet (Comcast was down) all Wifi disconnected

    This sounds like dhcp failure due to wan going down. I've seen this happen, usually requires a reboot(even though internet will still be down).

    any plan to update ip(6)tables

    The lovely asus setup, while it allows for ipv6 functionality, it is behind the times in some aspects for allowing special user configurations. I figure they just assume everyone only supplements their connections with ipv6 vs having a dedicated connection via ipv6 or special handles with ipv6.

    Network Map and Client List missing on my Asus RT-AC68U after firmware upgrade

    You could try converting to stock rt68u most current and factory resetting and then converting back to merlin most recent. Just a quick question... Is this a converted TM1900 router?

    AIMesh with ethernet backhaul VS AP Mode with ethernet

    The only advantage is for those wanting to skip the extra steps it takes to configure a repeater, because mesh is suppose to function seamlessly with little configuration other than pairing with aimesh router. With ap mode, you may or may not have an advantage, you have to configure channels and...

    It is probably acsd.

    [Feature Discussion] The Fabled Roaming Block List

    That would be awesome to be able to control which node gets connected to. The only one benefit I have noticed is with my devices that stay connected 24/7 and stay in the same spot wind up staying connected to the node they originally connected to. I noticed that when aimesh tries to roam them it...

    [Feature Discussion] The Fabled Roaming Block List

    Okay, So I have added all my "stationary" devices to this list. When I mean stationary, I mean devices that never move or change location. I feel as though there is no real need or added benefit to allowing these devices to be roamed between nodes. I am starting this thread to see if any one...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13 is now available

    Truth be told there are a lot of features that are linked to model specific and would not be compatible with the TM1900, it would be highly recommended you run stock TM1900 on your router and not asuswrt-merlin for legal, and compatibility reasons. Compatibility-wise--- there is no guarantee...

    RT-AC86U and RT-AC68U in Aimesh setup. ethernet backhaul not working

    Yes that is correct, I have paired mine more than three rooms away with the ethernet cable connected without an issue. My suggestion would only eliminate surface interferences because there is a point of no return even with ethernet cable.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13 is now available

    yea so many changes to the dhcp setup -- if you want to experience the best quality with the latest version you would probably have to factory reset to get all of your connections to show up cleanly with network map and also to have your static list to function nicely as well if you have one.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13 is now available

    Yea the only Bloatware I can see, would be features that asus added that couldn't be supported by Asuswrt-Merlin - that you said would have to be continuously fought against with every GPL- and were otherwise taking up space because they were not getting used. If you notice, all features...

    RT-AC86U and RT-AC68U in Aimesh setup. ethernet backhaul not working

    you need to make sure ethernet cable is connected to the lan port of parent router and then the wan port of the node, try that if it is not, lan to lan will cause it to keep bouncing from ethernet to wireless, also make sure you have an up to date (unmanaged as well) switch if there is one being...

    Cannot compile 384.13 for rt-ac86u...

    The problem is the difference in changes of the original .git you had and the ones made to the most recent version on github I suppose. No way to really know at this point since you started fresh. It is this reason I usually always start fresh when I am self building, also I only build if there...
