    Problems with mesh on AC86U + AC68U + AC68U

    Got the RT-AX88U Pro which seemed to solve my problem. As a non-programmer I'm not sure that my problem wasn't solvable another way but this worked for me. Many thanks. Bob

    Problems with mesh on AC86U + AC68U + AC68U

    I have things like a Geiger counter, video cam, thermostats, RPIs—30+ clients including ethernet connected servers. There are periods when everything works fine.

    Problems with mesh on AC86U + AC68U + AC68U

    Thanks. I’ll try going back to APs. Can anyone suggest replacements? I have a large house (3000 ft2) and lots of clients, both wifi and ethernet. Don’t have a fortune to spend but do need reliability since Comcast is fast coming into the router. Thanks for suggestions. cheers, bob

    Problems with mesh on AC86U + AC68U + AC68U

    Hello, New to this group, I'm having problems with these routers in a mesh configuration. The two AC68Us are connected by ethernet to the AC86U to form the mesh network. My speeds (Comcast) are great at the AC86U router but the wifi seems to go up and down from almost a crawl to very fast...
