    Asus WiFi capped at 100mb?

    Hey all, My cable service got bumped to 400mb today. I'm able to get ~300-450 on a wired connection but not via Wi-Fi. I'm testing on a Samsung S10+ and capping at around ~97mb. I have a gt-ac5300, rt-ac5300 and ac66bu1 on hardwired mesh setup, using Smart Connect. My device is on 5ghz via...

    IoT issues: AiMesh vs. AP's, to use Smart Connect or not?

    I thought this too. I asked the same question here quite some ago and was told I need not worry. At one point during my frustration with this system, I did keep the AC66u unplugged for awhile, and it didn't seem to help. Will put this back into the mix if the previous recommendation doesn't...

    IoT issues: AiMesh vs. AP's, to use Smart Connect or not?

    Back before I factory reset to troubleshoot (which helped a lot), I did disable Airtime, not the others. Just set them all, will see how this goes, thanks for the suggestion! Now that 5ghz-2 is reserved for backhaul (why with Ethernet enabled, who knows!?) - should I apply these changes there...

    IoT issues: AiMesh vs. AP's, to use Smart Connect or not?

    Hey all, Have a GT-AC5300, RT-AC5300 and AC66u B1. I've had them in AiMesh for quite some time now. Generally speaking, they work great as of the last several firmware updates. What I keep fighting with, is crappy IoT devices that only support 2.4 (like WeMo). I'm using Smart Connect so...

    Any worthwhile ax mesh platforms yet?

    Thanks f for the replies. If I setup my Asus routers as AP's instead of Mesh, I can't transfer between nodes right? I work from home in my basement and regurally move between floors. Basement to second floor is a weak signal. In theory the AiMesh with SmartConnect seemed ideal to auto...

    Any worthwhile ax mesh platforms yet?

    Hey all, I am ... at wits end with my AiMesh environment (GT-AC5300, RT-AC5300 and AC66BU1). I've had a lot of help and support here in previous threads, but I still fight dropped connections and lack of connectivity. I simply can't figure it out and I'm ... done. I have my whole house wired...

    AiMesh - 5ghz-2 is now dedicated backhaul after recent firmware? (wired backhaul)

    Thanks again @OzarkEdge I factory reset everything after updating to latest firmware. So far .. Everything is very stable. I think I'd still like to explore options with UniFi once AX is finalized but for now, fingers crossed. I still don't understand why Asus took away the third band when...

    AiMesh - 5ghz-2 is now dedicated backhaul after recent firmware? (wired backhaul)

    Thanks @OzarkEdge I have about 90 devices on my network. Was a pain to get them all identified. Before I reset everything, what's the easiest way to preserve all my custom names? Shut off router 2 and 3, let everything migrate to primary router and then do a backup? I've never actually used the...

    AiMesh - 5ghz-2 is now dedicated backhaul after recent firmware? (wired backhaul)

    Ever since I downgraded, I'm having a lot of disconnects and unavailable devices. Really debating a switch to a UniFi setup but feel now is a bad time to invest with AX coming out. Just checked firmware and no new updates. So is recommended course of action to factory reset all three routers...

    AiMesh - 5ghz-2 is now dedicated backhaul after recent firmware? (wired backhaul)

    I downgraded earlier this evening. So far, way more stable! I feel like some of my devices were reliant on that third channel? Not sure, but everything seems to be way better now.

    AiMesh - 5ghz-2 is now dedicated backhaul after recent firmware? (wired backhaul)

    @drabisan - I don't understand why I should do a factory default? I don't want to lose configurations, more specifically assigning names to devices (this was a massive PITA, I have ~80 devices on my network). Not to mention recreating the AiMesh in itself can be a challenge. I was thinking...

    AiMesh - 5ghz-2 is now dedicated backhaul after recent firmware? (wired backhaul)

    @drabisan - thank you! Good to know. I'm having all kinds of funky issues since going to this firmware - primarily disconnects. I'm sitting here watching my phone and a Google home disconnect/reconnect. Should I revert to the previous firmware or is this something I should open a new thread on...

    AiMesh - 5ghz-2 is now dedicated backhaul after recent firmware? (wired backhaul)

    Debating just tearing down and rebuilding the AiMesh, but I'd prefer not to. Hoping someone has an idea!

    Under AiMesh they both show a wired connection. See screenshot. Also under connection type, it says wired

    AiMesh - 5ghz-2 is now dedicated backhaul after recent firmware? (wired backhaul)

    Hey all, I've been using a 3 router AiMesh (AC66u B1, AC5300, GT5300) setup for awhile. They are all connected via Ethernet. I did a firmware (3.0.0.4.384_45149) update today, and now under network map, it says "5 GHz-2 is now used as dedicated WiFi backhaul under AiMesh mode." I tried to...

    Advice on rebuilding home network

    Hey all, I'm currently using 3 Asus routers (GT-AC5300, RT-AC5300, AC66BU1) in an AiMesh setup and I just continue to fight random issues. In the past 6 months or so, I've played with Orbi, Eero, Velop and Lyro. One way or another, I just don't seem to be overly happy with any of these new mesh...

    AiMesh vs Lyra Trio?

    So I picked up a Lyra Trio for S&G's. Honestly, I'm not overly happy with it. I've used an Eero, Velop, and Orbi so far. Of the four, I'd rank this at #3 only behind Orbi (which was a nightmare). Duration of Ethernet backhaul kicking in, can't manage the nodes from a web browser, limited web...

    AiMesh vs Lyra Trio?

    Thanks art. Also ... I don't understand if it's the router, of the ISP, but just now I had the same issue happen twice. I lose ALL connectivity (wired and wireless) and I can't connect to my router. I wait it out ~3-5 minutes, and it all comes back. I'll re-send the log, but for you and others...
