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

    Anyone here using a tri-band Aimesh network with a wireless backhaul actually get it to dedicate one of the 5Ghz bands to the backhaul? I get devices connecting to the node on both 5Ghz bands so it isn't dedicated.

    If I had to guess this decision was in part made to not add to the wireless congestion that is typical in most homes. Take a typical subdivision in the US, most of the wireless channels are pretty heavily utilized by homes being in close proximity. Now imagine, every home starts having 2 or 3...

    Except that it does mean that. Especially if you are using Ethernet backhaul you could just setup an AP on the same SSID, band, and channel and you would have what you have by turning RA off. Now with the Aimesh realm of functions you also get some additional things like centralized management...

    No that is not what that means. Aimesh will not work properly without RA.

    Smart Connect is a device specific function meaning it will only affect the device that you set it on. So, if you want band steering on your main device enable Smart Connect, if you don't want band steering on your main device don't enable Smart Connect. If you have Smart Connect on your main...

    Just trying to help out the people who come on here and complain that their routers aren’t working right but are too lazy to do a factory reset like they should. It’s not meant for everyone but it would work for a lot of people. It’s also not a cobbled together script, it’s from @RMerlin.

    This. https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/NVRAM-Save-Restore-Utility Although honestly you’re talking about 20 minutes to just screen shot the pages in the router you customized and reapply those settings.

    I think a factory reset would fix a lot of issues for some people. If you want to save your settings and factory reset you could try this utility. https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/NVRAM-Save-Restore-Utility

    I think we all are! That's the only way we can learn and make things better. I'll try to do more testing tonight on streaming things and walking around the house to see if I experience the drops like others have. I have a lot of wireless devices but really only walk around the house with...

    Yeah that is good information from Arthur about when RA will be on or off by. However, he did say that no matter what if you reset to factory defaults after flashing an Aimesh firmware that RA should be on. This would mean that you didn't do a factory reset after flashing the Aimesh firmware is...

    Default settings for me were for RA to be enabled so that is odd that we had different defaults. Could it be the AC3100s were used or refurbished and maybe the nvram wasn't fully cleared? To me Aimesh is a couple of things. 1. An easy economical way to extend your wireless coverage in your home...

    Correct, if Aimesh is setup and functioning correctly you will never know when you switch nodes unless you are looking at the UI to see which node you are on. If you turn RA off and you are using an ethernet backhaul it is essentially the same thing as just having an Access point setup. You...

    There is a slight difference here though. With Roaming Assistant turned off it is your device that is doing the switching between the nodes. Some devices handle it better than others. I would suspect if you had an iOS device you wouldn't see the switch happening as they tend to stick to their...

    If you're not using Roaming Assist then you aren't using Aimesh properly and you won't experience seamless roaming of your devices.

    Happens on the RT-AC5300 as well. The lists are always different between the UI and the iOS app too. I have found the iOS app to be slightly more accurate and it gives you the option of seeing the client list broken up by Aimesh which I wish the UI had a similar view. In addition, one thing that...

    On the asus.com/aimesh page it says this about Aimesh. A rock-solid data 'backbone' connects all the AiMesh-enabled routers, with AiMesh intelligently choosing either a wired connection or the optimal frequency band — 5GHz or 2.4GHz. With tri-band routers, it will dedicate one of the two 5GHz...

    I would think the requirement is that they function just like the main Wi-Fi network so yes to the seamless roaming. Most smart devices are stationary but visitors in your home will have phones, tablets, etc. I would like to see the ability for two isolation options. One option where your...
