    Seeking best option to add AiMesh to an existing RT-AC88U?

    I'm in a similar situation, big old historic house with thick surprise filled walls. I had to use 3 routers as well. It's my understanding that when you have 3 routers in an AIMesh setup, it is the main that does the bulk of the work and the processor of the 2 satellite nodes sits mostly idle...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    His response was poorly worded, but correct. At the same time as RC-10 was released, Asus published a 3.xx.386.xx release build for the RT-AC88U on their website, with an identical build number as the 9.xx.xx RC-10 build posted on this forum. So while I don't know for certain if RC-10 is...

    RT-AC88U ports 5-8 behaviour

    Fair enough I'll update my post ;)

    RT-AC88U ports 5-8 behaviour

    Just to document should anybody else have this problem, I added a new device to my network that unintentionally caused me to have to redo this experiment. There are 2 devices, that if I have them in ports 5-8 will cause ports 5-8 to lose functionality. Though it is not immediate, everything...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    I just ran this same exact test (thanks for the heads up, I didn't know about that website. That website has a lot of cool free security checks). In my case it "Failed" because my router responded to requests on 2 common ports. However, these ports correspond pefectly to services I have...

    RT-AC88U - 3.0.0.4.386 - Doubt

    OE, please understand I was not dinging you, and I know you were just trying to be helpful, as am I. My thought process when I made that comment was, RC-8 is still available for download, and this post showed up in my related topics/recommended reads feed, so I assumed it would for others with...

    RT-AC88U - 3.0.0.4.386 - Doubt

    A minor correction, and I know this because I was beta testing with the 88U. There was a bug specific to the 88U that was not fixed until RC-9. The bug would cause the 88U's to completely freeze under certain conditions, requiring the paperclip hole reset to resolve. So I'd advise to upgrade to...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    It's working on mine (GT-AC5300). Curiously enough though IPV6 was switched off (was enabled before upgrading without a factory reset) but once turned on it appears to be working. I don't know about RC2-8 and prior, as this is the first version I could test without my router freezing up.

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. Confirmed. My 88Us actually are working great now. With RC2-8 and earlier one or both of them would be completely frozen after installing RC firmware. Now with RC2-9 I can finally try AiMesh 2.0 and see how the other half lives ;)

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Can I just say, y'all complaining about LED's and I'm over here hoping when RC-9 releases I can get 30 seconds of use before the router freezes ;) First world problems. ;)

    RT-AC88U ports 5-8 behaviour

    Same here, I had 6 devices connected. Swapping them solved the problem for me. I already knew from reading the forums when I bought the thing that the latter 4 ports were controlled by a seperate processor, so I moved what I thought were the 4 most active devices to the first 4 ports. But the...

    RT-AC88U ports 5-8 behaviour

    It's not been a big enough of an issue for me to complain about it. I noticed there was one problematic device, and once I moved that device to LAN ports 1-4, my 88 has worked great ever since. I know that's probably not the answer you're looking for; in an ideal world ports 5-8 would work as...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Woot Woot! Can't wait to test the next build. Also, can you confirm the issue I'm seeing when adding an 88U as the 2nd node (1st node also 88U), regardless of backhaul, routers freeze?

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    What's your backhaul between main and node? Ethernet or Wireless? I know of people who have made this setup work with Wi-Fi backhaul, but if you' have it working with Ethernet, you'll be the first to my knowledge. Also, if Ethernet, is it a direct connection or is there a switch between the two...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    However he has an AC88U, not an 86U. I am 1000% convinced there is a bug specific to the AC88U in the 386 beta firmware. If you scroll through the archives there's 3-4-5 of us, myself included, that have been screaming they can't get the system working with the 88U for some time. To my knowledge...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Well another Saturday, another beta build of firmware. And another round of using paperclips to unfreeze frozen routers. I kinda like being a beta tester, but it's a little frustrating when I've reported the same bug for 3 firmware releases and that bug is not acknowledged as even existing...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    That's similar to what I saw, except you're having more luck than I am. In my case I have 2 AC88U's as nodes to connect to the main router. I could connect one AC88U as a node, and it would work fine as long as I did not enable "Ethernet Backhaul Mode". But as soon as I tried to connect the 2nd...

    Solved How to login to router when it is configured in repeater mode?

    Have you tried to arp it? I (i.e. type arp -a at a command prompt)? Also, it should show up in the list of assigned ip addresses on your main router, either the Network Map page or under DHCP leases on the LAN page.

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Any updates for the RT-AC88U? So far there's 4 (maybe 5) us who have tried this beta firmware with that model, and to my knowledge nobody has a working system when that model is involved.

    RT-AC88U ports 5-8 behaviour

    What is known is that with the 88U the first four ports are controlled by the main microprocessor, while ports 5-8 are controlled by a sub-processor. There have been a number of "wierd" cases where ports 5-8 stop working. Usually unplugging the router (not just rebooting, must be unplugged)...
