- 8 Posts - OldManBrodieI have an RT-BE92U, and have an IoT wifi network setup. However, none of my nodes are offering it. I suspect it's because they're older routers (three RT-AX1800S's and one RT-AX55). They're all running the latest stock firmware for their model, except the main router, which is running...

A- 2 Posts - AdrianHAs per the title, I want to adjust the transmission power on both my router and node so that roaming/switching occurs better. I can see the router setting for 2Ghz and 5Ghz. My presumption is that this will push down onto my node, but I can't find any info.

- 15 Posts - nsayerAIMesh has been just a continuing headache, but I just can't bring myself to permanently abandon it instead of just separate APs. Is there a way, when it's misbehaving, to log into the router with ssh (I've already enabled this) and restart whatever process is in charge of AIMesh? It'd be a lot...

S- 4 Posts - shaangorI used to have 2x RT-AX89Xs in an AiMesh configuration that worked great. Recently I upgraded the main router to a GT-AXE16000. I tried setting up one of the AX89Xs as a node under the AXE16000. It sets up fine, but it gets the same SSID for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. I have tried multiple...

- 6 Posts - SpartanCorrect me if I am wrong please, but I read that it is best to have the same routers or at least hardware capabilities when creating an AiMesh. For example, if one has an ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 as the main router and an AX86U Pro as the node, would the AX86U Pro impact the performance of the... -
D- 5 Posts - Deleted member 96408Hi all...I currently use an AX11000 as my main router and I have an RT-AC86U as an Ai-Mesh node.

My problem is that I do not understand how to add this 3rd router to my...

H- 4 Posts - HarryMuscleIt looks like most if not all official instructions on how to setup an AiMesh node say to use the WAN port on the node router if using ethernet backhaul.

D- 6 Posts - Dan SGI just learned that the web UI does not hide features that aren't supported by the entire network. If I stick to my current network of a RT-AC86U master and RT-AC68U nodes, which features don't extend to the RT-AC68U and what should I set them to? If I need to replace a node, which models make...

J- 15 Posts - jea101While setting up aimesh I found that a smart switch blocks the wired connection between the node and the main router. Does this connection use a tagged VLAN? If it is using a tagged VLAN what is the VLAN ID/number? I did find that in another post that guest SSID apparently use IDs 501, 502...

J- 5 Posts - jea101I am trying to set up Aimesh between a RT-AC1900P and RT-AC66U B1. Initially one was running Merlin firmware and one Stock. I upgraded them to latest available firmware (of each) but was unable to add an Aimesh node. I was also running the AC1900P “router/master” in router mode. Next, I tried...

I am moving to a new house, it has a basement floor, main floor and second floor, each of the three is roughly 1700 sqft. I am thinking of placing 3...

L- 28 Posts - LexCaiaI am new here and I'm hoping someone has the answer. I currently have two separate wireless AiMesh networks from different RSPs. Each network is on a separate NBN plan. My setup utilises dual band routers (Asus RT-AC86U) and as a result I believe this can reduce the wireless speeds at the...

J- 3 Posts - JuneBugJust want to get this information out there, when I tried using my new bought RT-AX68U as an AiMesh node for RT-AX88U, the internet system required to use Dual-band Smart Connect for the whole system to work, otherwise, the main router(RT-AX88U) will show the node has a weak signal despite they...

F- 2 Posts - fishfaceI have a AX3000 as primary router, and 2 x AC68U as nodes in the aimesh, wired backhaul, all is working but I'm slightly confused on the guest network Current config AX3000 primary - I have 2 wireless networks configured, 2.4GHz named net1 and net1_5G, all works as expected. I then created a...

U- 2 Posts - unsynapsI am trying to find out if this is true or not. If it is JFC Asus needs to get their head out of their asses. Does AiMesh ethernet backhaul mode ONLY work if the slave node is plugged DIRECTLY into the master node? The only damned way I could even get the slave node to connect to the master...

A- 3 Posts - AndroidianHello. My question is about Aimesh + disabling the radio on the main router. Because of the location of my router (close to cable ISP entry point) and the node, I need to leave the 2.4ghz radio ON for my node but I would like it OFF for the router (to consolidate 2.4 devices and avoid...
