    Need advice on Very Slow Wireless G & N Speed on ASUS RT-AX89X Routers

    Hmm. Don't see the option for auto wireless backhaul selection. This is what shows on a node for AiMesh Management: Ran the Ookla speednet Test and I got 55.66Mbps Download and 19.62Mbps Upload which correlates with our 50/20 internet plan so no problems there. Regards, fbagnato

    Need advice on Very Slow Wireless G & N Speed on ASUS RT-AX89X Routers

    Hello oldguy, Thanks for your reply. The mesh nodes are connected to the primary router wirelessly (I just added Mesh Nodes through the configuration utility. > If they are using wireless connections the RT-AX-89X is only a dual band device which means that the backhaul will share the 5GHz...
