    AC68U fell off the AiMesh node from AC86U router..2nd time

    will an ac87u have a noticeable increase in range compared to 68u?

    Of course it has better coverage in term of the new product line, new chipset, news of everything :) . However, it is not an easy, simple answer to your question... I would answer: "it depends ... " :) like O.E said ,,,turn it on and find out :) Good luck!

    AC68U fell off the AiMesh node from AC86U router..2nd time

    This should be resolved. It's been almost 3 days, no re-occurrence! I think the DHCP might have caused the on/off of the AiMesh Node plus the signal integrity, strength checkup as well! The logs be low showed that times to times, the AiMesh node being checked if the signal strength strong...

    AC86U router temperature

    It's been using 5Ghz as backhaul but I do not use band steering ,,,by having each 2.4 & 5Ghz its own SSID, I am easily controlling. ...plus AC68U doesn't support Smart Connect! Maybe I get another AC86U and then follow you suggestion later :) So far, I created DHCP reservation for AC68U AiMesh...
