    XT8 using 2.4ghz as backhaul even though worse than 5ghz

    I've just picked up a pair of XT8s and have updated them to the latest firmware (3.0.0.4.386_25790). I was surprised to find that my devices were using the 2.4GHz band as the backhaul - with a 1/3 bar connection. I rebooted and they were once again connected with a 3/3 bar connection on the...

    Asus Wireless Extender (RP-AC55): Stock Firmware Work With Merlin Router...??

    Hi All, ASUS makes a wireless extender (Model: RP-AC55) that supports AiMesh. Understood that Merlin's firmware does NOT support this model. Question: If I use this extender with its latest stock Asus firmware, will it work with my AC86U router running Merlin Firmware 384.19? I couldn't...

    Need help with choosing an AiMesh router

    Hey everyone! I am currently using the RT-AC5300 for 4 years now but I have an issue with the range. From the router to my room, there are 2 walls and the network or WiFi strength is quite bad. I am thinking of getting another ASUS router to setup as a mesh/node. Any recommendations?

    Mesh network mixed with AC and AX w/ Ethernet Backhaul

    Hi all, I would like to finally upgrade to ax network and here's my current setup: Optical modem -cat6-> Asus RT-AC88u (dual band AC1000 + 2167Mbps on ground floor) -cat6-> Netgear N router (on top floor) as Access Point while running different SSID. When I set both to same SSID and I walk...

    Unstable AiMesh Various Questions

    Hello. My wife and kids are getting quite frustrated with our "internet connection", and conversely me because I am the person who is supposed to know how to fix it. I am sure many of you can relate. So what's the problem? Instability. Frequent dropouts of the 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands. Intermittent...

    5GHz radio on AC88U is dead. "Replace" 5GHz radio with AP/AiMesh node?

    Hey, I'm looking for good advice here. It looks like 5GHz radio on my AC88U is dead. SSID is visible, but all devices fail to connect (galaxy note9, macbook, chromebook hp x2) to same 5GHz channel it worked before. Tried: switching to original Asus firmware from Merlin (with full reset) clean...

    Wired AP to add to existing AiMesh network

    I got a 2-pack of RT-AX92U a month or so ago, and used it to set up a wireless-backhaul mesh that covers about 2/3 of my house. (Wires are not an option for the bedroom where we most needed extra coverage.) It's been performing very well and I don't have any complaints. I'd like to add a node...

    Asus Aimesh and packet loss

    Hi, I bought an ASUS RT-AC88U and my old router ASUS RT-AC86U and I configured Aimesh. Both routers have official Asus firmware. ASUS RT-AC88U (master) (3.0.0.4.385_20631-g0c36149) (192.168.1.1) ASUS RT-AC86U (node) (3.0.0.4.385_20633-g593a8ef) (192.168.1.122) I've noticed sometimes the node...

    Dual-band router with Tri-band node versus vice versa for AiMesh

    Hey all, I'm looking to get another Asus router to extend my wifi range using AiMesh. I current have the AX58U which is a dual-band router. Ideally both the router and the node would have tri-band, but I would like to keep using my existing router. I did some searching and it seems like most...

    Dual-band router + Tri-band node in AiMesh wireless backhaul?

    Does anyone have experience in setting up a dual-band router with tri-band AiMesh node over wireless backhaul? I am getting good offers on a AX88U + AX92U combo package. I don't have option for wired backhaul. Is 5GHz-2 used at all as dedicated backhaul in this case or does the node simply...

    Need Help to Force clients to 5Ghz w/ AC86U SmartConnect & AIMesh

    I just moved from 2 AC86Us running separately (Top floor & Basement, nothing in middle floor) with same SSIDs, ethernet connected... SmartConnect settings were default and was running fine 80% of the time. The remaining 20% of the time, cams (I have 10) would disconnect and often never...

    AX88U - Channel wifi aimesh nodes - DFS/non DFS

    Hello, I am facing a problem that I do not quite understand. I have an AX88U router and an AX92U. The first is configured as the main router and the second as the aimesh node. When I look at the 5ghz wifi channel (which is automatic) it is on 100. When I try to select a channel manually in the...

    AiMesh and Node Choice

    Just set up my first AiMesh using the not-so-loved RT-AX92U bundle. Yeah, no Merlin support, and I'm not using ethernet as the backhaul but instead the dedicated WIF6 channel, so I get that my choice was not inspired. Still, what's done is done. So, my 2 questions: 1) When I look at the...

    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...

    AiMesh and guest WiFi on node

    Currently AiMesh nodes do not support guest WiFi. I have two RT-AC68U (384.17), one as a router, the other one as the AiMesh node. I would like to have the same guest WiFi on the AiMesh node as on the router with the guest clients being isolated from each other and the internal network. This...
