    Unrepairable Loss of AX Mesh Router WiFi

    For the record, I removed and reassigned the mesh router at the time that I posted the above message. Today it reverted to red light and no access to the mesh node unless wired. Computers connected through the mesh node with an Ethernet wire work fine…

    Unrepairable Loss of AX Mesh Router WiFi

    What I mean by unrepairable is that no sequence of unplugging or rebooting fixes it. The only thing to fix it is to remove the mesh router and then re-install it via the web interface. Mesh system is an AX-58U as the main, and an AX56U as the mesh router. Wired backhaul. Every so often...

    300 feet in my neighborhood, near line of sight

    I run an ASUS AX58U router. Don’t think I can connect an antenna like that. Options?

    300 feet in my neighborhood, near line of sight

    I have a second piece of property on my neighborhood, about 300 feet away more or less. It is not attached, and I can’t run wires between the two. I’d like to have some amount of WiFi. It’s an established suburban neighborhood, so there are a few houses but open backyards, through which I can...

    AiMesh Router Throughout Stats Not Showing?

    I have an AIMesh setup using an AX56U as the mesh node, and AX58U as the primary. I’ve recently upgraded them from a 384 variant of MerlinWRT (.19 iirc) to 386.2.6 for both units. It’s working great, very stable, good throughout for our connection speed, connectivity everywhere that we need...

    Review New In the Charts: ASUS RT-AX58U

    Is there a basic explanation of what these charts mean physicallly?

    no wpa3-enterprise support for ax models?

    When I first bought the ax56, it offered WPA3. Upon firmware update it was gone. AX58 offers WPA3 but not enterprise. Seems these things are arbitrary.

    Updated to 384.19 and cannot login

    yes I did. that is how I typically reboot these when they get stuck. I do schedule them to auto-reboot every day as well. This must be the case with mine. But it must also be new with the .19 firmware (for the AX58U at least). I could immediately boot in with the .18 firmware.

    Updated to 384.19 and cannot login

    I was messing with router settings on my mesh setup (AX58U main, AX56U node), and updated to 384.19 on the AX58U (left the AX56 with 384.18, as a newer version isn’t available). I’m not able to login through router.asus.com anymore. Usually it hangs and never loads the login, but occasionally...

    Is a dedicated wireless backhaul better for a wireless bridge?

    I asked a similar question sometime back. I made a mesh system of an AX-58U and an AX-56U. My concern was if a WiFi backhaul would perform, and how important 160Mhz was relative to the backhaul. what I found in the end was that the wireless backhaul wasn’t very reliable, but I was able to...

    Allocation of users in AIMesh System

    That was a thought. I know what’s what, so the items that won’t move can be allocated. Thing is, it’s mesh. I’m not savvy enough to know if I can force allocate an item to the router or node. I’ll try to look into that. Thanks!

    Allocation of users in AIMesh System

    I built an AIMesh system composed of an AX58U main router, and an AX56U mesh router. The location has service that is 80Mbps down/10Mbps up. The backhaul is wireless. With a good wired or wireless connection to the mesh router, I get about 78 down /8 up, and in the worst locations where we...

    AX58U Duplicate and Unknown Connections?

    I have an AX58U running the latest Merlin WRT. Ive noticed on there, that when I look at the client list, some connections are shown as duplicate. It says there are 2 clients for that IP and MAC address. For example, see the attached image. In that picture, one of the instances is my (wired)...

    AX58U + AX56U Mesh System Downside?

    Thanks. Is the matched pair recommendation for hardware functionality or bandwidth? Is it a function of the ax58’s 160Mhz capability, or just general best practice? I thought I had seen elsewhere that “lower rated” routers could be used for the mesh capability. Reason I ask is that it seems...

    AX58U + AX56U Mesh System Downside?

    Looking to build a mesh router system in a relatively large single story concrete block home. It’s an island home so some block has rebar, and this reception from a single router isn’t great, but there is a reasonable distance and path from the modem/entry, to the wired main router, then mesh to...

    RT-AX56U vs RT-AX58U vs RT-AX3000

    So, is there any good way to objectively assess the differences between these? Not knowing any better, I’d say that the two systems on a chip are from the same family, intended for the same class of hardware, and if anything, the processor in the AX-58 is weaker than the processor in the AX-56...

    Loss of WPA3 Capability in Firmware

    It was default as capable. Even set to required WPA3 doesn’t show.

    Loss of WPA3 Capability in Firmware

    Mine did. Almost wish I had grabbed a screen shot. Maybe it had the wrong firmware originally? Strangely the website doesn’t list it. There are remnants of linkages though. It’s still linked in the faq. https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1042478 Regardless it’s OBE at this point. But...

    Loss of WPA3 Capability in Firmware

    Honestly Im not that advanced. I downloaded the Asus firmware from Asus, and manually uploaded it. After rebooting, I factory reset it and re-entered my parameters. Ditto when I got the Merlin version. Im not savvy enough to know if the factory reset I did was the same as the full reset...

    Wifi Disconnects on MacBook Air

    I was having terrible issues on my AX56U after updating firmware... With just one computer - a 2010 MBA running 10.12.6. Would not connect, regardless of what I did. System log shows a bunch of failed attempts like this: May 5 22:04:59 wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(464): eth5: Deauth_ind...
