    AX88U As Router, But AC86U or AX58U for Nodes?

    I'm going to call this a tie! Darn! That means that I have to make this momentous decision!

    AX88U As Router, But AC86U or AX58U for Nodes?

    I decided to purchase an AX88U to use as the main router in a very large house. I had previously purchased a couple of refurbished AC86U's to use as nodes in a new AiMesh network. However, I'm concerned about them being refurbished and am returning them before I open the boxes. It was my...

    Why thank you, sir! I enjoy a bit of humor from time to time. That makes me very happy to hear. I will learn from your experience and try the same approach. Or trying to get an appointment for a Covid-19 test on a state, county or CVS website when none of them are working due to overload...

    A Fine Mesh I'd Like To Be In (RT-AC86U)

    Yes sir, my four TM-AC1900's have been set up as one router and three access points with OEM firmware. I have a total of (8) SSID's set up: Each router/AP has an SSID for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. They work great other than the client switching. I have made sure that the clients are on...

    Thank you my older brother - I appreciate that info. I have 90 days to make up my mind, so I can play around with one of them for a bit.

    A Fine Mesh I'd Like To Be In (RT-AC86U)

    Since these are refurbs, there was a new SN label over the bottom of the original label on each unit. I used a flat razor blade to peel one of them back without damage. It said "Year of Manufacture 2019". Even though that's good news, I think I've gotten cold feet about them. As for the...

    I'm not sure when they were made and I'm concerned. I will likely send them back. It's only a few dollars more for new ones. Since the main router needs to be the most powerful, I am strongly considering buying one AX88U as the main router since it has the 1.8Ghz quad CPU and 1Gb RAM. Then I'll...

    Thank you, sir, for the detailed answer. I hope that most of the portable wifi devices in my house will handle the automatic node-switching without any trouble. Unfortunately, I've read posts from people who say that, even with AIMesh, some clients try to hang onto a weaker node for WAY too...

    A Fine Mesh I'd Like To Be In (RT-AC86U)

    I currently have (4) T-Mobile TM-AC1900 routers all connected by ethernet Cat6. I've had these old routers for years and love them. They give me the coverage and speed I want and have not given me any trouble. I have given each router it's own SSID so that I can tell which one to use in various...
