    Hi everyone. So about a week ago I replaced an old netgear extender with a RP AX58 to serve as a node for my AXE16000 router running Merlin 3006.102.4. Finally I had an AIMesh! This was a definite upgrade in several ways such as allowing me to bind several devices to the extender, since...

    I am running a 2 router AiMesh, AC86U and AC68U, both on Merlin 386.14_2. (added later) The backbone is the 5Ghz band, and there is no wired connection between the devices. Pretty randomly AC68U node disconnects, and then reconnects. I reboot AC68U daily, so it's fresh. I tried another AC68U...

    A recent thread (a very interesting one) started me off thinking about how under-utilized nodes appear to be, for 3006 FW based nodes in particular. I am reasonably sure I know what the answer is, but bear with me while I muse and ramble and throw my toys out of the pram. I’m starting to look...

    Hi everyone I have a big problem with my Mesh network at home, My connection is symmetrical fiber download/upload 1GB/s - 1Gbps.

    It's probably covered somewhere, but I didn't see it. Is there a way to schedule AImesh nodes for autoreboot? Maybe this should be posted over in the AMTM forum?

    really excited that rmerlin has made available 3006 firmware for the RT-AX88U Pro. Question about Aimesh, do nodes need to be running 3006 firmware to be able to use VLANs? Assuming so, does it matter if its asus stock or asusmerlin firmware? Asking be sure I purchase a compatible device to...

    So, every blue moon I pull out a wifi radar type app and look at the neighborhood and how my wifi signals are interacting, as in, being interfered with. Well, somewhere along the line, the router decided to go to auto channel selection which I really don't like. So, I dutifully found the space...

It's strange because only IoT netwotk (2,4GHz)...

Anyway, it would become somewhat flaky after a while - so then why not just reboot the AiMesh node nightly too...

    Would anyone know if if Asus Merlin AiMesh works with GT-AX11000 and RT-AX92U? If so has anyone had any issues or drops with performance compared to stock firmware? If you could point me to some documentation that would be awesome too. Thanks!

    I hope I put this in the proper section. Few months ago I've assigned a few of my devices to use the aimesh router (for wifi) instead of my default one. Now I factory reset/installed a different firmware (Tomato) on the AIMesh router, and for some reason I can no longer assign my tapo camera to...

    I have a ax88u hw version 1.0 has main router And a ax88u hw version 1.1 running in aimesh Can I keep them like that or should I switch the v1.1hw to main and the v1.0hw to aimesh? Just feeling that having the latest hw has main will be better for long term. I just switch my aimesh from...

    So I had been running Merlin 386.7_2 on both my AX11000 router and AC5300 node for a few months now. It mostly worked, and I had 2-4 devices that would be serviced by the AImesh node typically. Yesterday, I upgraded the AX11000 to 388.2_2 (dirty upgrade). Everything seemed normal, but I...

    I've an idea. I'd love to receive my aimesh node (rt-ac86u) logs on my main router. And using scribe, put them in a separate window. Is that possible? I know there's some kind of server/slave log thingy but I don't know where to start. --- Also, my qnap has the same log server thing. I'd be...

    I have a RT-AX86U and a RP-AX56 as a mesh (wifi backhaul). It works like this for a year. It looks like that since I flashed 388.2_2 that I have problem with the mesh. At startup, LED on the mesh is solid white, I can ping it, it has an IP address, it is in the DHCP leases and Wireless log with...

    Is there going to be a problem using a new WiFi 6e main router with an older WiFi 5 router using AiMesh with a wired backhaul? I only have a few modern clients. Most are 2.5 Ghz lightbulbs, switches, door sensors, and the like that need rock-solid connections but have low bandwidth. These IOT...

    On a 2 RT-AX88U AiMesh setup, 2.4 Ghz clients are binded to the closest AP and after some time they still connect to the main, distant AP. Network is a Guest Network set to be on all AiMesh Nodes. At the AiMesh Topology, we see clients with an attention mark reporting "This device is currently...

    I have 2 t mobile ac1900 that I have flashed to Merlin- they are running 384.10_2 Rt68u I recently added a TV in the back of the house and the WiFi connection there is spotty. I thought this would be a perfect time to use aimesh. However I don't see it in the firmware. I flashed these...

    I have an issue. I want to use a RT-AX86U (Pro) as an AiMesh AP (a RT-AX88U router is master of my AiMesh network), but the uplink of my RT-AX86U must be a link aggregated connection (connected to the link aggregated LAN-1 and LAN-2 ports of the RT-AX88U). When making the RT-AX86U an (AiMesh)...

    Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to disable the radio on the router (RT-AC68U) while leaving the wifi on my two AI Mesh satellites enabled. I'm using a cat5e backhaul to connect the router to the satellites. I find due to the restriction i have with router/modem placement in the house...

    I wanted to share if anyone who has been using AImesh and enabled guest network 1 slot and set it to be enabled in their guest nodes might have network issues. I have been basically having this issue for 2 years where random clients sometimes just wont be able to be pinged. I just assumed that...

    Hi All, So I oddly enough I managed to get another Asus AC88U which I though would be great to increase the speeds upstairs. I upgraded both routers to merlin 386.10 and factory reset the upstairs Ac88u. Unfortunately there where issues uploading the Aimesh settings from the main router to the...

    I have two AC86U set up as an AI Mesh, with ethernet backhaul. But I would like to add another router, an AC68U. The mesh router sees it, but it fails to add it every time. I assume that's because it's set up with ethernet backhaul checked. But if I go from ethernet to wireless backhaul, will...

    I have an Asus RT-AX86U as my main router and an ASUS RT-AC68U as my mesh node. Both running latest Merlin. I'm connected via Ethernet and have Ethernet backhaul mode on. It looks like I max out at about 50M/50M when connected to the RT-AC68U. I get up to my full 300M/300M when connected to...

    Hi. I bought a new RT-AX86U Pro router as a replacement for the RT-AC68U. To begin with, I updated the firmware in RT-AX86U Pro to the merlin firmware: 388.1_0 and configured everything. In RT-AC68U I also updated the merlin firmware: 386.10_0. Currently I would like to use the RT-AC68U as an...

    I have a pair of RT-AX68U both running 386.7_2 configured as an AIMesh with a Wireless backhaul. Backhaul connection is Good. I have 3 SSIDs configured: gnmnet, gnmguest, gnmdevs. The latter 2 are guest SSIDs. However looking at the network with InSSIDer it appears that the mesh node is only...

    I am trying to add a second AiMesh node to my home network and I have been FRUSTRATINGLY unsuccessful. My existing network setup has worked flawlessly for me, but I've added Ring cameras to the network and need a stronger signal for some cameras. See below for current network configuration. So...

    Two RT-AX68U (fw 388.1) routers are in AiMesh mode. The "Main_WStatus_Content.asp" menu (System Log->Wireless Log->Wireless 2.4 GHz) displays only those Wi-Fi devices that are connected to the master/main AiMesh router. How to find "Rx/Tx & RSSI" parameters for devices connected to a AiMesh Node?
