    Solved GT-AXE11000 Replacement Ant

    I ordered a standard ipex MFH4 wire and when they both arrive in a week or so I will post an update. At this point the plan is to attempt a DIY repair and use the hawking ant I had attached to a pc that wasn’t in use.

    Solved Need Asus travel router...

    I believe support comes from stock firmware. ASUS list BTW 1) isn’t 3g being phased out. 2) I saw other solutions / suggestions on the forum , get a cellular access point with built in WiFi or if you need more range a lan connection to link to your router. 3) I have a WiFi ranger on my RV...

    Solved GT-AXE11000 Replacement Ant

    Thanks. Yes, I understand. That is why I wanted to fix it. Is the only difference between the ipex mfh4 and ipex mfh4L the locking mechanism on the L version? I am trying to figure out if the apex mfh4 connector will fit on the mfh4L spot on the board? I can find apex mfh4 pre-made connectors...

    Solved GT-AXE11000 Replacement Ant

    I didn’t break the antenna. The person who sold it to me (eBay) didn’t provide the antenna or explain what happened. I figure at this point it easier to get the coupler and use a third party antenna than to source an OEM replacement. Yes, I agree if it happened in house and wire was not broken...

    AiMesh nodes using ethernet backhaul

    Thanks for the tip. Planning out changes to my network. I currently have three Merlin flashed ac routers in aimesh using wireless backhaul. Soon I will add at least a GT-AXE11000 as main in aimesh and add repurpose another Netgear as an access point in the basement (not mesh). Before reading...

    Mixed aimesh 1.0 and 2.0 (68 vs 3100)

    Ok, thanks I tried the steps. I attempted the instructions as presented on the forum multiple times. I Executed the instructions with multiple older firmwares. I also tried the steps with the current Merlin firmware (not stock ASUS) multiple times. I also attempted to trouble shoot and...

    Solved GT-AXE11000 Replacement Ant

    Solved GT-AXE11000 Replacement Ant

    I was wondering if anyone could point me towards a replacement ant for the GT-AXE11000? I know the design has changed, but have a damaged ant and want to see if I can repair it myself, I don’t know if it matters if it’s one of the 6ghz or the combined 2.4/5ghz ant? If it matters the one that is...

    Mixed aimesh 1.0 and 2.0 (68 vs 3100)

    Ok thanks, basically the new faster model can’t be the master it will not bind the older 68u units as nodes. I reverted it all back to 68 as master with the other 2 as nodes. I also upgraded the Netgear (which is about ~4.5x faster than the 68u as an hardwired access point. Getting 2-3x the...

    Mixed aimesh 1.0 and 2.0 (68 vs 3100)

    So far I can get the 68u units to connect to the 3100 as a node when I downgrade but have not been successful in getting the 3100 to be the main . Since the 3100 is faster would be nice to get it to be the main aimesh unit

    Mixed aimesh 1.0 and 2.0 (68 vs 3100)

    Thanks, downgrading, building a mesh then upgrading resolved the issue for me. Sorry for the duplicate post, I did search but didn't see anything similar to my issue at the time. I had been using the Asus units in AP mode with a Netgear Nighthawk X6S as main main unit but it completely flaked...

    AiMesh not working anymore on 2 latest Merlin firmwares

    I also confirm this works, downgraded routers to 384_14, created aimed, upgraded main router to current then upgraded the nodes from the main router and the aimesh is working as it should. Seems like downgrading setup mesh then upgrade is the key.

    Mixed aimesh 1.0 and 2.0 (68 vs 3100)

    Yesterday my main NightHawk router flaked out. I actually had multiple other routers in my house (3 stories plus basement and outbuildings) repeating / extending this router, but I had hoped to replace it with Merlin. As such I acquired 2 68u routers and a 3100. I had these on 384.17 working in...
