    RT-AX92U or RT-AX58U as main router

    You can share the 5ghz-2 channel with clients in either dual band or tri band mode. I've not used the AX58u personally but from what I can tell, all of Asus's routers seem to use the same firmware so the settings should be there.

    Help deciding on which node/satellite should i buy for wireless backhaul

    A few people here have AX92u's connected to AX86u's. As it will be running in dual band mode, remember to setup the AX92u to share the backhaul so you can get the full 1gbps for your clients.

    Release Asus RT-AX92U - New Firmware: 3.0.0.4.386_45898

    Your numbers are the same as mine, it should work. Did you click optimise? That fixed the issue of dropped nodes for me. Try changing the wireless channels for the backhaul. We use the DFS channels. If you are already using DFS channels, try non DFS channels. Maybe it's something that's...

    Release Asus RT-AX92U - New Firmware: 3.0.0.4.386_45898

    The PHY rates should be close to 2gbps. Is the channel clear?

    Release Asus RT-AX92U - New Firmware: 3.0.0.4.386_45898

    It sounds to me like you have a node placement issue. I have 8 nodes running and believe me, at the start it was an absolute nightmare to get it working. The way we did it was to build the network one by one, ensuring that each node has a "great" connection to the prior node before adding the...

    Release Asus RT-AX92U - New Firmware: 3.0.0.4.386_45898

    I'm on 695 as well. Once you have it all setup, click optimisation in AI mesh. This will stop nodes from dropping off the network.

    RT-AX92U or RT-AX58U as main router

    AiMesh was recently updated to allow the 5ghz-2 wireless backhaul to be shared with clients. There's 2 ways to do it. Tri band smart connect. Simply unplug the ethernet backhaul, it will then fallback to wireless backhaul but stay in tri band mode. This is how we operate our AX92u's. Dual Band...

    RT-AX92U or RT-AX58U as main router

    The 5ghz 2 band (AX band) is actually the strongest wifi radio on the AX92u. However, to enable client access you'll need to enable triband mode. This means the AX92u will have to be the main router. Might be an idea to sell the 58u and buy a used AX92u off ebay. They should be cheaper now as...

    Sold two RT-AX92Us and both buyers have complained they can't get it to work in a mesh

    RogerSC is correct. You need to reset the routers or they won't connect. Sometimes it may occasionally fail and you'll have to do it again. The routers aren't faulty, it's just the initial connection phase is a bit temperamental. Hopefully asus will rectify this with future firmware updates...

    Simple tip to improve AiMesh performance (RT-AX68U + RT-AC86U)

    If you use 160Mhz channels you will get 950 mb/s (117 MB/s)

    Simple tip to improve AiMesh performance (RT-AX68U + RT-AC86U)

    I will concur that disconnection issues are caused by poor internode connectivity. Check the RSSI levels of each node. The RSSI level should be -60 or better (-50 is better than -60).

    RT-AX92U AiMesh connection slows over time

    If your backhaul is slowing over time, you need to experiment with placement of the node so you get a better connection. WiFi signals bounce around so it's not always obvious where to place the node. If you enable client access on the backhaul, your AX devices should also receive the full...

    RT-AX92U Freezes

    There has been firmware issues with these routers in the past. You need to upgrade the firmware on all units and then perform a hard reset on all units using the WPS button. If that doesn't fix it, go into the AImesh tab and click the optimization button.

    Asus RT-AX92U 160Mhz bandwith ignored

    I'd like to come back to this thread and update my procedure. It turns out you can have tri band smart connect with a wireless backhaul. The way you do it is to setup your mesh with wired backhauls in tri band mode. You need to plug in the ethernet cables. Once you are happy, simply un plug...

    Beamforming / Mu-MIMO / Airtime Fairness

    You can adjust the power levels with Asus. You can't put nodes on different channels with AI Mesh. Maybe Merlin firmware might allow this.

    Beamforming / Mu-MIMO / Airtime Fairness

    This is one of the reasons I wanted a mesh. If one node is getting hammered, it won't bring things to a halt for others. I've posted up screen shots and settings many times. Take a look at my historic posts.

    I need a wall switch to control my wifi light bulbs.

    I use zigbee compatible smart switches with dumb bulbs. They were just cheap ones from our local supermarket. I got a local sprayer to spray mine chrome. At the time, I couldn't find any chrome ones online either. You can control the smart switches with Alexa

    STA-to-STA OFDMA issue?

    Can I suggest you try and test again but this time load your network with 60 AX STA's all doing different things. Obviously there's going to be some variability but you should still see much lower latency with OFDMA DL enabled.

    Beamforming / Mu-MIMO / Airtime Fairness

    I did start out only allowing clients on the AC channels, this essentially gave them a 450mb/s speed limit. However, after some tweaking we got rid of the bufferbloat and decided to open up the AX channel to clients. That test was ran very early in the morning. The only other bandwidth use was...

    Beamforming / Mu-MIMO / Airtime Fairness

    I'd recommend you try an Asus mesh that has an AX backhaul for yourself. You will be surprised at how much bandwidth they can push out. As long as you have a decent RSSI between nodes, it will be at least 2gbps. It's this fast backhaul that enables the mesh to handle high traffic with ease. If...
