My current AiMesh setup is as follows:
Main Router RT-AC5300
Nodes:
1xAC5300
1xAC86U
1xAC68U
Upgraded Main router and 1xNode (RT-AC5300) via web GUI, no factory reset of either RT-AC5300's, and no problems yet, all good, no node disconnections, all nodes and main router behavior is great too date. Other nodes on most current ASUS AiMesh firmware.
Early days maybe, but I have noticed a more consistent signal strength from my main router to the nodes as well.
Go AiMesh.......loving it even more with each firmware update from ASUS. Stability continues to improve. ASUS, next step, give us some functional enhancements to AiMesh, e.g. node reboots from the web GUI, Guest accounts rolling down to the nodes would be a great starting point.
Will report back if I notice anything going on.....
My setup is in my signature.
So, thinking of trying 20942. Based on past experience I'm a little gun shy.
I have two choices for my update procedure.
- Upgrade via the web GUI. If I do this would I start with the Parent, let it complete, let it reboot, and then I will still see the nodes after reboot so I can update them. Or, do I update nodes first with parent last?
- Upgrade via the IOS app. The parent and two nodes will automatically update (assuming it happens just like for 20648). Then when I sign back to the parent I should see the two nodes again. THIS IS THE PART THAT FAILED WHEN I TRIED INSTALLING 20648.
