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

    You could try ssh into the node and setting it off in nvram. nvram set wps_enable=0 nvram commit Haven’t tried this yet myself so no idea if it works

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

    RA is used for client handoff between access points. Disabling it wouldn't give you a more stable operation, if it does you are only masking the symptoms. At any rate, Aimesh for me has been extremely stable so far. About the only major issue I have is that if I restart the main router I will...

    Thanks. Found this thread, looks like trend micro functionality interrogates the entire URL. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/dns-based-filtering-is-it-really-working.32425/

    Anyone using the trend micro malicious site filtering? Good? Bad?

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

    Just curious why the decision to use OpenDNS vs the built in trend micro? I have been using software at the client level but have been thinking about doing it at the router level.

    Is there a way to reboot the aimesh nodes from any UI, either web or iOS? Also, does anyone else have this problem where when they reboot only the main aimesh router they get slow speeds on the aimesh node until the aimesh node has been rebooted at which point full speeds are reestablished?

    Has anyone been able to get email notifications to work from the Aiprotection section? I have hits in the 2 way intrusion detection but never receive any emails.

    It is absolutely okay to use the same SSID for both bands, in fact some mesh systems like Orbi won't even let you specify a different SSID. Aimesh does let you, one of the reasons I much prefer it over other systems. If you're router supports Smart Connect I recommend giving it a try. I've been...

    After you update the firmware on the router and nodes you should factory reset all of them. This was a major firmware upgrade so if you don't want issues resetting is your best bet.

    Where did you find this information? I don’t believe this is true, at least not for an RT-Ac5300.

    While I agree this can be an issue for some, good signal doesn’t necessarily equal good speed. Wireless is very environmental. With a 9000 sqft house you probably don’t have neighbors very close either so less interference there. I think most people have some dead spots which are not uncommon...

    Did you do a complete factory reset and nvram clear after your flashed the 3.0.0.4.384.20308 firmware?

    I think being able to wirelessly daisy chain nodes is a plus for home environments but aside from that you are correct. Most mesh systems for the home are a product of great marketing and hype that make them appear more magical than they are. The one thing the mesh systems do is make it really...

    Don't worry about where the clients are connecting for the moment as the self-healing is about how the nodes connect to each other. In a mesh network you can connect devices to the main device but you can also connect nodes to other nodes. So if you had router -> node1 -> node2 -> node3 If...

    I think this applies if you daisy chaining the nodes in the mesh. Pictures are always better for me so look at this page https://www.asus.com/aimesh/ and look at the picture where it talks about self-healing. Does that make sense? If not I can try. Say you have the following router -> node1 ->...

    One thing to add is that Asus has mentioned that with Aimesh there is some communication between the nodes that occurs that you wouldn't have if you were using regular APs (I suspect this is typical of most mesh networks). So if you only have one mesh node probably not a big deal, but if you...

    Yup, I currently have one router and one mesh node and found that I get better speeds if I decrease the Tx power on all radios on the main router. You can't decrease the Tx power on the node but you can on the main router. I'm actually debating on getting rid of the mesh node because I think if...

    I would encourage everyone here to take a minute to read this article and the discussion forum that it is linked to at the bottom. Some good information here that answers a lot of questions here that have been asked over and over. I think an important takeaway is that a lot of times in...

    There is only one firmware stream. You don’t have to use the mesh features if you don’t want to.
