I have Linksys WRT1900ACS that I was using since 2016 in my old 2200 square foot home - 1100 sq ft per floor. It was working great, but I was moving into a new 3000 sq ft home, so I thought I would upgrade to a mesh system. I bought a Nighthawk Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Mesh System (MK62) and it worked...

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...

I have a basic mesh question, which I struggle to find good answers to; I have a mesh wifi network with 3 x TP-link Deco M9 routers in my house. I must admit i would have expected better performance that what I do; The signal strength is very good all over the house, and ... When I try...

The tri-band Orbi LBR20 combines an AC2200 wireless mesh router with a 4G LTE-A Cat 18 modem, a design that can either let customers solely rely on a cellular connection for internet access, or use the 4G LTE-A connection as a back-up/failover service for their primary internet connection. The...

Hello, I want to buy Asus's ZenWifi XT8. But before doing that I have a question. I have a Cisco Access Point (Model: AIR-AP1832I-E-K9). Can I set up my 2 Asus units and connect the Cisco AP as a third unit with them?, having them all broadcast the same SSID as a one network and have a good...

I'm moving to a larger space with ~1,600 sq ft (which isn't all that big), but it has three levels. The first level isn't really a factor though since it's the garage. I'm using this move as an excuse to upgrade my modem and router combo and deciding whether I need a mesh system or not. Here's...

Pretty cool developments, can't wait to finally try these long awaited 386 versions once they are finalized as a general release in the form of an @RMerlin firmware (once some more time goes by waiting for the GPL of course).:):cool:

Hi, So right now I have an Asus AC-5300 running Merlin. The house is Colonial with the family room on the side. So think Colonial house with an extra bottom half next to it. Roughly 3000+ with basement. The router is in the middle bedroom upstairs and covers most of the house OK, but the deck...

Hi, i purchased a few AX6600 mesh WiFi’s and had a couple of questions cause I’m setting it up in a large space with thick Walls. 1) how many nodes can I connect to one WiFi network or router. I have already connected 3 and need more to fill the full space. 2) I have multiple access point...

Hi, Over the years I have cycled through from a N66U to the AC5300 which has serving well in a heavily congested block of flats. Nothing fancy running, just SmartConnect and auto QoS. 2 floor maisonette - N66U struggled with throughput due to wireless channel congestion but AC5300 has been...

Hi all. As the title states, I’m looking at changing my current setup from range extenders to a mesh network. I’m currently running a Netgear AC 4000 R8000P as a base with 2 Asus RT-AC66R’s as range extenders. My understanding is all these are mesh capable, but not necessarily together. My...

I've finally completed most of my Unifi Network. I have a two floor house + basement. So far I have a NanoHD on the 2nd floor and a AC Mesh outdoor in my back yard. I have the Controller Software on my Server. So far so good. I will be adding a 3rd sometime this week. All are hard-wired...

Does anyone know if configuring the automatic reboot e.g. on RT-AC88U also result in the Mesh nodes getting rebooted?
