    Hi, I have two GT-AXE16000 routers. One primary, and one that I was trying to use as an AiMesh node. The problem I'm getting is that the node constantly resyncs and restarts wireless (as seen in its log), with only a few seconds of actual uptime in between each resync. This results in an...

    Apple devices can't access Internet if IPs are DHCP-assigned

    DIAGRAM UPDATED Apple devices cannot connect to an ASUS RT-AC66U configured as a repeater when set to use DHCP-assigned IP addresses - they can only connect when using statically-defined IP address settings (IP, mask, router IP & DNS). Why is this not working with DHCP-assigned IPs for Apple...

    For simplicity's sake, neglecting the range concerns for now. There is a AC750 source router with one 5Ghz spatial streams, meaning 433Mbits top speed. Now, normal people would buy an AC750 repeater and they are sure to have their speed halved. There just isn't enough bandwidth. 1. If I buy any...
