    Locking a Wifi client to the main AiMesh router?

    Hi I have been using AiMesh since its early beta days. Every day, I have one particular client computer (PC A) connected directly to the main AiMesh router (RT-AC86U) via 802.11n Wifi, before turning on the AiMesh node (RT-AC68U). I found that PC A has the most stable connection, whilst...

    RT-AC86U Repeater mode BUG on 5Ghz?

    I just tried using RT-AC86U (on Merlin 382.1_2) as a repeater and did not succeed. I tested RT-AC68U, and got the same result. Curiously, I tested an older, inexpensive Asus router which firmware has not been updated since August 2016, and the repeater option worked. This router does not...

    Connect two HomePlug adaptors in "ad hoc" mode?

    Hi I'm looking to connect two Powerline or HomePlug adaptors in an "ad hoc" arrangement, but am unsure if this is possible. Is it possible to follow the same procedures in Wifi to create such an "ad hoc" pair? I'm trying to connect two media boxes, not PCs, each with an ethernet port...

    Two "joined" networks: security issues

    Thanks, Tim. Most helpful article. Presumably, from a security standpoint, a three-router setup is much better than using the guest network feature on routers like the Netgear WNDR3700 and Asus RT-N16, since the latter gets an IP from the same subnet as the principal, non-guest network, as...

    Two "joined" networks: security issues

    Hi I've set up two wireless routers as follows: 1. Network A using a 802.11n wireless router ("Router N"), connected to the DSL modem; WPA2-Personal AES secured. 2. Network B using a 802.11g wireless router ("Router G"), with its WAN port connected to one of the LAN ports on Router N...
