    AC86U with XT8s AIMesh Nodes

    Hi. I currently have an XT8 router, an XT8 node and an AC86U node. Both nodes are using ethernet backhaul and the setup has been rock solid for a couple of months. I like the look of several Merlin features and given the XT8's aren't supported devices, I'm thinking using my AC86U with Merlin...

    AiMesh with Mixed official and Merlin's firmware

    I have an RT-AX88u running as my router and was successfully using Merlin's firmware, however when I tried to add some XT8's as an AiMesh (one using ethernet backhaul) if just wouldn't add the wireless node. So flashed the AX88u back to stock and successfully configured the AiMesh. However I...

    How to access an always-on torrent Pi machine that is connected to a VPN?

    Hey guys! I run 2x Asus AX88U in a wired backhaul mesh, Merlin 384.19. I have a Pi4 that I was used in the past as a Torrent machine, using Deluge, a torrent programme. Deluge is great because it runs on the Pi as a daemon, and my wife can use her Windows machine, for which there is a Deluge...

    Upgrade Aimesh node firmware remotely?

    Hi I'm managing remotely my parents home network (which I've built for them). It consists of 4 RT-AC68Us. I have remote webGUI and SSH access to the router, but I don't have remote access to any local computers there. I've updated firmware to the main AC68U via GUI without any problems, but I...

    Reboot issue on AX88U 3.0.0.4.386_41700

    I faced a reboot issue on AX88U 3.0.0.4.386_41700. Every time I applied some settings in the AX88U, it needs a reboot. However, all WAN connections are shown as disconnected after the reboot. I need to manually reboot all modems after my AX88U rebooted. Unplugging the cable does not help This...

    AiMesh sleep nodes

    Question: would it be possible to create a cron job on the AiMesh node to either shutdown the node or put in into some sort of sleep / low-power mode at 1AM daily. Then sent a wake-on-lan package (via scheduled cron job on the main router) at around 7AM to fire up the specific AiMesh node again...

    RT-AX86U AiMesh setup

    Hi everyone. I'm about to set up 2 AX86U for the first time. I will be setting them up in AiMesh. Any advice on how to do this? If you have a link to a topic or steps posted elsewhere I'd appreciate it. Also, should I immediately upgrade the firmware on each to Merlin's beta? Or should I first...

    ASUS AiMesh setup success! RT-AX88U & 8 RT-AX92U AiMesh nodes with 120 IoT devices in house

    I want to thank posters here on SNB for their information. I have a big house in Los Angeles -- with a 1000Mbps AT&T fiber connection -- where I've built upon an Asus AX88U as main router and have added on more AX92U nodes as I attempted to cover all parts of my property, indoors and out. I...

    Will AiMesh solve this problem

    I have two routers RT-AC86U as a primary router and an RT-AC68U as an AP. The 86U is in the front of the house, the 68U in the back. Admittedly, there is some overlap in signal. Roaming assist is disabled on the 86U and set to -65dbm on the 68U. The two routers are interconnected via Cat 5...

    Devices connecting to wrong AiMesh-enabled router/node

    Hello, I am running two RT-AC5300s (both updated as of Dec 13/2020) in an AiMesh network, with the main router connected to my modem in my room, and another node in the living room (about 25-35 feet away). I notice almost all my devices (even the devices 2-5 feet away from my main router)...

    RT-AX88U or RT-AX86U as main Router using AiMesh 2.0 with Merlin firmware.

    Looking for some thoughts regarding what appliance is preferred when deploying a two-node AiMesh configuration. I will test and compare, but am curious as to what others may have experienced. As of today, both Nodes would be running Merlin 386.1_beta. Diversion, Skynet & Unbound. Available...

    AiMesh trouble

    Hi there, I have some trouble to get the AiMesh feature to work. I google, watched youtube-vids, but couldn't find any answer - hope that someone in here has an idea. I bought a ROG GT AX11000 as main router - and a 4G-AC68U as a node (and backup for ISP failures). I installed the latest...

    AX88U main router with AX92U AiMesh nodes cannot use Wifi 6

    I can use Wifi6 on AX88U connected clients fine, but when I switch to AX92U, it always uses only AC. AX92U uses the 2nd 5GHz channel as backhaul link. This is also the one which supports AX. And there is a FAQ page explaining how to get the network to work with AX for clients, instead for...

    AiMesh nodes always use DHCP?

    I have three RT-AX92Us configured as mesh in AP mode. The primary is set to a static LAN IP, but as far as I can tell there's no way to assign static IPs to the nodes. It's been mostly stable, but I've had a few weird outages lately where devices will be able to connect to one node but not...
