Hi,
I have an ASUS RT-AX88U running the latest Merlin firmware with an ethernet connection to an ASUS AC2600 (Blue Cave) as an AIMESH node at the other end of the house.
My partner has health concerns and the main router is sitting right near her head. All of the necessary ethernet cabling also originates there so relocating the main router is impractical. I have stepped down the TX power for it, but she is still uncomfortable.
My preferred option is to disable wifi on the main router and put another AIMESH node in a nearby room - but this doesn't appear possible. It seems I can disable WiFi on all or none in the AIMESH network. I guess an alternative is that I can use another mesh network type and buy two nodes running off ethernet.
So I guess I'd like advice on whether I can disable WiFi on the router only and if not point me to a good alternative mesh system please that I can add a couple of nodes onto the ASUS router.
Thanks!
