Hi everyone. I think that my knowledge is not sufficient to sort this issue out, so I hope someone here has an idea.
I have three ASUS Routers in a triangle AiMesh mode: one RT-AX88U (main router) and two RT-AX92U (nodes), working without any ethernet backhaul. This setup worked perfectly fine with the following configuration (meaning that I got 5GHz backhaul whatever the configuration of the AiMesh network):
I am in an environment where there aren't many wifi networks arounds and I've tried the following with no luck:
Anyone has any idea what can be the problem? Thanks for your help.

- RT-AX88U with firmware RMerlin 384.19_0
- RT-AX92U with firmware 3.0.0.4_384_9177
- I don't use SmartConnect and I kept all the Wifi setup by default except that I enabled "Auto select channel including channel 12, 13" for the 2.4GHz band and "Enable 160 MHz" for the 5GHz band
I am in an environment where there aren't many wifi networks arounds and I've tried the following with no luck:
- Update the RT-AX88U to the latest stock firmware available (3.0.0.4_386_41249), including a full reset of the router
- Removed the AiMesh nodes from the interface to reset them and even force-reset them with the "WPS + Power switch" combination
- Force the control channel for the 5Ghz band (100, 104...)
- Enable or disable roaming assistant for both bands
- Disable WMM APSD
- Disable all beamforming options
- tried latest beta versions for both the AX-88U and AX-92U (9.0.0.4_386_41157)
- In the end, I played with all the options in the "Professional" tab without success
Anyone has any idea what can be the problem? Thanks for your help.
