    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    Can you please explain what AP PIN Code is? I searched and can't find a direct explanation. The GUI doesn't explain it, the FAQs don't either.

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    So I'm still reading on WPS. Everyone here says a button must be pressed to initiate a pairing. However, Asus' own FAQ (https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1010683/) clearly states ASUSWRT must support PIN to be compliant with the WPS standard. Further, it acknowledges "WPS(Wi-Fi Protected...

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    Dude. I did the searches here and elsewhere. That's where the confusion came from. Calm down. It's not as clear as you might think. There were some worthwhile discussions about a possible security vulnerability in the service, because it doesn't appear to work the way one would expect. I'll...

    Can confirm, Android app shows to which band client is connected.

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    Fair enough. I'll shut up about it.
  6. Q

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    Is it, though? Because it's a matter of possible security within the firmware. It sounds like we may have established that the WPS is not vulnerable to a brute force attack, even if advertised on the nodes, but it's still unclear how it functions and thus what security issues may remain within...

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    I think that's what gives me the most "fear" here. That Asus may be taking some short cuts in the name of simplicity and creating a "mesh" network of their own in a consumer market consumed by this current buzz word. Hell, that's all WPS ever was. It was a shortcut to make it easier for people...

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    Yes, this would make sense. But, if that were indeed the case, couldn't @arthurlien have just said it's a requirement for Aimesh to function? So as far as I know, he has not confirmed this. In fact, it would seem others on this forum have had it disabled in nvram and have seen no ill effects, so...

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    I've never used it either. The notes in the UI don't really answer all my questions, unfortunately. The issue here is that my limited knowledge is such that it makes it hard to understand the exact issue and whether or not Asus is addressing it. The wiki entry for WPS does not necessarily say...

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    But, to be perfectly clear, you needed to push the WPS button. This seems to be the key I was missing. Whereas @RandomName23 has just informed me that WPS used to be always on and always in discovery mode, later/current implementations (and those on Asus) require the button to be pressed and it...

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    Knowing this could have saved a ton of time and typing :) To be fair, I've clearly stated I have no idea what I'm talking about and am trying to learn. I just learned something else! Apparently I was going off old info. If WPS has been changed over the years to prevent the original...

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    First, thank you for testing and for all your info. I was just looking into telnet options, because I was getting a bit frustrated at the process. You may have just saved me some time here. Second, then what is @dabears seeing? It is entirely possible I am misunderstanding what he is saying...

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    And I'm trying to understand if this is being fixed. You've not been clear on this and seem to think that the WPS on the node only means that it is capable of using WPS, which is very much not the case. What we're seeing is that WPS is active on the node, which makes no sense if it is off on the...

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    I think you're missing the point. @dabears seems to indicate he was able to connect a WPS client to the node, despite the feature being disabled at the router. That sounds pretty active to me. The WiFi app I use to scan area WiFis shows what security is actively being used on a given...

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    @dabears seems to indicate otherwise: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/official-release-aimesh-firmware-v3-0-0-4-384-10007-for-all-supported-products.43125/page-43#post-381889 I have never seen WPS be broadcast without it being on. If it were only broadcasting the fact that the router supports...

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    I don't think it does, but it's unclear. WPS has to be enabled to pair a node, that much we know. However, I and a few others here have successfully turned it off at the router and have maintained connectivity with router and node. However, if you do a scan of wifi signals, you'll see that even...

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    Look like the latest firmware (20379) is still corrupt on the download page. @arthurlien any ideas when it will be corrected? https://www.snbforums.com/threads/official-release-aimesh-firmware-v3-0-0-4-384-20308-for-all-supported-products.44375/page-15#post-381700 EDIT: Looks like there may...

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.20308 for All Supported Products

    I don't. Please explain. Because one thing I haven't really learned in all these threads is what "magic" a mesh system actually does to help coax a client to transfer. That goes for all mesh systems. If the linked article is correct, the client always decides when to switch, so what does the...

    Pretty sure @dabears has already said he confirmed it still works.

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.10007 for All Supported Products

    Well, I never would trust that IFTTT/Alexa feature regardless, because I don't trust Alexa and the like. How hard is it for me to really turn on my own lights or, in this case, to manually reboot my router? Frankly, I don't trust these systems to get this crap right, let alone taking into...
