    Hello all. Looking for advice for boosting my existing wifi. I have fibre to my home, currently on 360mbps down and 75mbps up. My modem is a fibre modem that runs direct to my Asus RT-AC68U.

    RT AX88U and AX58U Aimesh wired backhaul, no 5ghz network on node (AX58U)

    Hey Folks, I have been reading the forum and seen that some of you had similar problems, but not exactly this: I have an AX88U as my main router and an AX58U as a node, with an exclusively wired backhaul setting (backhaul connection priority set to 1G WAN only). Nevertheless, I cannot enable...

    Asus AC86u & AC66u AiMesh Slow Speeds

    Hi, first time poster here. I currently have an AC86u as a main router, and an AC68u as a AiMesh node (wireless backhaul as wired is not possible). The AC86u is unfortunately in probably the worst place it could be, being downstairs in the extreme corner of a 1000 sq ft house, but there is...

    No Aimesh menu after flash latest firmware

    This might be a dumb question but I did search the forum and found no luck. I have a TM-AC1900 and flashed with latest firmware rt_ac68u 386.3_2, running at router mode. I suppose can find the aimesh menu under the network map but there is none. Is there some setting I need to turn on first?

    Solved Can I use AIMesh with a managed switch handling the DHCP and other main network management?

    Currently, I have a number of AC68U's running my network. All run the latest version of Merlin. Router 1 handles the incoming fiber line and does the heavy lifting for the firewall, DHCP, and AiMesh master node. The other 3 act as nodes and do their thing. I would like to replace Router 1...

    AiMesh or not to AiMesh

    I am rebuilding wifi setup, so currently I have rt-ax86U as router, and can use my old router as AP (rt-ac68u). Unfortunately alone rt-ax86u is not enough - it does not cover whole house and I am limited with moving it to more central place. I have long good quality ethernet cable between...

    I have an ZenWifi XT8 router and am connecting two RT-AC68U routers as Aimesh nodes. Both routers are connected through LAN to have a wired backhaul. After moving the RT-AC68Us to their intended locations, one works just fine, but the other does not show up in the Aimesh map. The WAN port shows...

    The connection to my AiMesh node gets worse within a few days. Clients connected to the node, via WiFi or Ethernet, have much slower and inconsistent SpeedTest results (down from 250Mbit/s to 30Mbit/s), pauses in VoIP applications such as WiFi calling or Google Voice every second, and sluggish...

    Hey all! How does the Dedicated Wireless Backhaul work when combining a dual band and tri-band router? Does the dual band router stop providing 5GHz wifi connection to devices OR does the dual band router not provide a 5GHz wifi backhaul to the other AiMesh nodes? I have an AiMesh setup with...

    My solution to AIMesh not adding a node with RT-AC68u & AXE11000

    For anyone having AIMesh node add issues, here is my simple (but annoying) fix. I just troubleshot my first AIMesh setup attempt an hour ago. It seems like it doesn't setup unless you have a wired (ethernet) connection between each router. Both are on their latest firmwares, and both had...

One IPTV is plugged directly in to the AX88U, the second IPTV is plugged in to a RT-AX56U (running as AiMesh Node which uses a wired backhaul). The third...
