    Access guest network printers from primary network?

    I can allow guest access to the Intranet (thereby defeating the hope of additional security) and toggle the "Set AP Isolated" which will prevent devices from communicating with each other on the guest network, moving myself further away from guests having printer access. I'm moving the printers...

    Access guest network printers from primary network?

    The GTax6000 has the ability to create multiple guest networks, and offers greater configuration than on my XT8. It is using VLAN. I had assumed that I would be able to manage devices on the guest network without having to manually join the guest network. But it isn’t obvious how to enable...

    Access guest network printers from primary network?

    I have two HP printers (2.4GHz only) that I'd like to put on the guest network so that guests have access but are still accessible from the primary network. The biggest problem is that I can't access the guest network printers from the main network. Is that a feature such that I simply need to...

    GT-AX6000 Refuses to authorize station

    Ok, you're diligent--I'd not made that connection with my own post!! Thanks for digging! @ColinTaylor and @drinkingbird you nailed it. This was the critical piece of information that I was missing. It turns out there is a Cisco RV340 VPN in the network switch box left behind by the previous...

    GT-AX6000 Refuses to authorize station

    When I first placed them both in service I upgraded the firmware on both and did a hard reset post upgrade. I’ve done so enough while trying to stabilize my XT8s that I’m no stranger to the process. And I can do it again if necessary. I’m surprised that it was very stable for the last ~45...

    GT-AX6000 Refuses to authorize station

    Yes absolutely. I even factory reset the node and reconnected it because it appeared to have fallen off the network. Probably a separate issue.

    GT-AX6000 Refuses to authorize station

    My Macbook Pro and iPhone stopped connecting to my GT-AX6000 AIMesh. It repeatedly self-assigns a 192.168.1.XXX address, no matter how many times I release and renew the DHCP lease. I can connect to the Guest network just fine, oddly enough. These devices are within 20 feet from the primary...

    GT-AX6000 Refuses to connect via AIMesh

    Yes, absolutely, about 40 times. This one just simply failed. Like I edited at the top of the OP, I returned to amazon and the replacement worked every. single. time through all the resets involved in upgrading to new versions. It was nearly 2 days of non-stop effort for what turned out to be an...

    Need 6/6e mesh recommendations for 2400sqft 3 level + garage

    Got it. Perfectly clear! Thank you

    Need 6/6e mesh recommendations for 2400sqft 3 level + garage

    when you say serial not parallel, what do you mean? I understand what those terms mean, and I understand the potential implications of info/data/objects streaming serial vs. parallel, but I'm not sure what you mean when you're applying it to a wifi router.

    Need 6/6e mesh recommendations for 2400sqft 3 level + garage

    Folks, I'd love your recommendations for a wireless backhaul mesh system for a 2400 sqft home, three levels, with cable/network drop in a detached garage. We run two businesses out of the house, one on the upstairs floor and one in the garage, and a home office in the basement, with tons of...

    GT-AX6000 Node - 2.5Gbps LAN issue

    Could you tell me more about your recommendations for mesh networks? I'm feeling pretty burned by ASUS with the AX6600/XT8 and now the GT-AX6000. Considering jumping ship for another brand that actually connects to the meshes. Unfortunately, I'm unable to hardwire an AP in the house from the...

    GT-AX6000 Refuses to connect via AIMesh

    UPDATE: YES, YES IT DOES. Sent the node back to Amazon, the replacement connected first time and every time after updating firmware and resets as necessary. What a difference! So, the network is up and we're testing placements and antennae orientation for maximum coverage within the house...

    XT8: dropping devices, can't connect AI Mesh nodes

    I'm working my way through the plethora of advice you've given. In this thread: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ax88-packet-loss.62891/#post-563326 you mentioned that I should be able to: Use the following URL to bypass the setup wizard and go straight to the factory reset part of the GUI...

    XT8: dropping devices, can't connect AI Mesh nodes

    would it be more useful for me to reflash the gnuton firmware first, before downgrading? At this point the mesh network is all but useless and all the reviews for the XT8 (and even the newer models) are all describing the same issues--this XT line sure looks a lot like Windows Vista... At...

    XT8: dropping devices, can't connect AI Mesh nodes

    I've seen that recommendation repeatedly, and I must say, I don't understand it. 25 years ago I got a MS in CS, and best practices dictated that you cleared all previous settings/nvram. during install/flashing. Is that not a thing with ASUS? And some people are recommending flashing two times...

    XT8: dropping devices, can't connect AI Mesh nodes

    I had read that the merlin/gnuton builds were supposed to ensure the absolute stability of these devices, but it doesn't appear to be the case. Can you recommend where to download the older build?

    XT8: dropping devices, can't connect AI Mesh nodes

    I need some help diagnosing some crippling problems. My XT8 router is regularly dropping devices, devices will connect with default IP address (xxx.xxx.1.xxx, should be *.50.xxx), and despite at least 40 tries, will not connect an ethernet-connected node despite multiple factory resets...
