    RT-AX92U new firmware - 3.0.0.4.386_40451-g30f1b6c

    I'm 80% sure that I've successfully added a node with WPS disabled -- it just turns WPS on for you. (I think there have been complaints elsewhere on the board, because it doesn't turn it back off when you're finished.)

    RT-AX92U new firmware - 3.0.0.4.386_40451-g30f1b6c

    I got one pair to connect! I don't know what caused the original problem (where previously-paired nodes showed as offline), but I think my hours of hair-pulling probably boil down to a classic SSL clock skew error, (very!) poorly handled by Asus. I was looking through the system logs on the...

    RT-AX92U new firmware - 3.0.0.4.386_40451-g30f1b6c

    Another update: I did the WPS-button factory reset on two units. I connected with a cable and set one to Node mode (using "choose operating mode" in the welcome page), then set it aside. I connected to the second one, set it to AP Mode (again, from the Advanced welcome page), provided only the...

    RT-AX92U new firmware - 3.0.0.4.386_40451-g30f1b6c

    I forgot to explicitly say this, but after the email said automatic updates wouldn't work, I did try the "check for updates" button anyway and got an error message. I just took this as further confirmation that the email was legit.

    RT-AX92U new firmware - 3.0.0.4.386_40451-g30f1b6c

    Also for what it's worth, I told myself when I got these that I'd only do automatic updates, and never rush to apply the cutting edge version, but the email said that a server change was breaking the automatic update. That's the only reason I did it manually. Maybe I should make a new thread to...

    RT-AX92U new firmware - 3.0.0.4.386_40451-g30f1b6c

    I was pretty skeptical too but I'm familiar with a lot of phishing techniques and the email looks legit. It contains that notice, with a link to asus.me/firmwareen, and a from address at asus.com, no reply-to address. I checked out the link: the cert is owned by AsusTek with credible contact...

    RT-AX92U new firmware - 3.0.0.4.386_40451-g30f1b6c

    Andrei, Asus sent an email saying that there was an important security update and it had to be applied manually: LD, I did the hard reset by holding the WPS button while powering up - does that format the JFFS partition? If I have time today, I'm going to try a hard reset on all three. What...

    RT-AX92U new firmware - 3.0.0.4.386_40451-g30f1b6c

    There's a sister thread for this same firmware version on the AC86U, but I thought it might make sense to start a separate thread for the AX92U. I have 3 AX92U units running as AiMesh, with the primary configured as an Access Point (my ISP gateway has been promising to support Bridge Mode "real...

    Release Asus AC86U New Firmware - 3.0.0.4.386_40451-g30f1b6c

    I just updated my 3x RT-AX92U to this version (I guess they must be pretty similar to the AC86U if the build ID is the same?) and I can't get the AIMesh nodes to talk to the router anymore. I've spent the last hour resetting nodes, resetting the router, adding over and over. It either gets to...

    Wired AP to add to existing AiMesh network

    I got a 2-pack of RT-AX92U a month or so ago, and used it to set up a wireless-backhaul mesh that covers about 2/3 of my house. (Wires are not an option for the bedroom where we most needed extra coverage.) It's been performing very well and I don't have any complaints. I'd like to add a node...

    AiMesh RT-AX92U: Disable LEDs on the second unit

    Update: I'm 90% sure that the `led_disable` property applies to Merlin firmware. I used the "feedback" tab to inform Asus that the "WPS button behavior" setting seems to apply to the base router but not the mesh node, I'll update this post if I hear back from them.

    AiMesh RT-AX92U: Disable LEDs on the second unit

    I know this thread is a few months old, but did you find a solution? I can ssh into the node but I don't know what command controls the LEDs. I found a reference to "led_disable", but my `nvram show` output doesn't show that property.

    ASUS AiMesh Reviewed

    Well the good news is that it was easy to set up, and speed is *much* better than the powerline AP it replaced. I can max out my (admittedly middling) ISP speeds from a bedroom that used to struggle to get to a quarter of that. Handoff seems good, though I'm sure it'll take days to really...

    ASUS AiMesh Reviewed

    One big factor is that we have super thick, plaster-covered walls and floors/ceilings that do terrible things to wireless signals, so if I want to get great speeds in the same room as the AP, but *any signal at all* in other rooms, I'm going to need the clients to swap between 2.4GHz and 5GHz...

    ASUS AiMesh Reviewed

    I know this post goes way back, but if anybody watching this has recent experience using AiMesh, I'm curious if the article's suggestion to keep the SSIDs separate for different bands still holds. They said that they did a bad job with band steering, but that was 2 years ago, and I know there...
