    I currently have an AC86U set up using Merlin firmware, and thanks to Amazon Prime + Asus cashback, today took delivery of an AX88U! The plan is to replace the AC86U with the AX88U as my main router. However I was thinking of setting up an AIMesh network with the AC86U near the rear of the...

    I'm looking to upgrade AC68 -> AX86U. For the initial setup for AX86U, I found instructions from L&LD (thank you!), which in summary appears to be as follows: 1) Factory hard reset (WPS NVRAM erase) 2) GUI-initiated reset to factory defaults (initialize... format JFFS.... restore...) 3) Flash...

    I try to bind clients to the nearest node, and no matter what aimesh says its optimized to connect to one across the house when there is a node in the same room as a device. Any tips to get around this? I already tried lowering radio power from main router and changes channels. It just seem...

    Hello I have an AC88U and recently purchased XD4's which work great in AI mesh mode. I do notice that they are only connecting clients via AC mode only. Is it possible to have the XD4's use AX or am I just limited by the highest setting from my AC88u which is AC and WPA2. Thanks!

    Well here's my question/concern. I have a two router setup, one as the main router, second as a mesh node. What I'm curious about, is if my clients will only connect to the router with better signal, when it first connects to wifi? So say one router is located where most devices enter, so they...

    I have a question about AX and AC AiMesh mix. When using AX router as AiMesh router and AC router as AiMesh node, would the AX router use 802.11ax standard? or the AX router would only use 802.11ac standard even if you enabled 802.11ax? Early last year an ASUS engineer told me even if you use...

    I have an AC5300 and two AC88Us. I meshed them and have been tinkering for months to get them more reliable: --Tried Merlin builds from 384.13 to 384.16, and all recent factory Asus builds. I use the same build for all the device every time I make a change --Factory reset/cleared NVM each...

    I know this topic has been fairly well beat to death but I was hoping someone smarter than me could confirm my suspicions with the behavior I've been experiencing. I have an AX88U as my main router and an AX58U as my wired node/AP. I say node/AP because I've tried it as an Aimesh node and as an...

    I got a question about AiMesh. I got 3 Asus routers. I got one AX58 as my main router and I got another AC68 router as a Access point connected with Ethernet to the main router. My last AC68 router is setup as a AiMesh node in the far part of the house. I wanted to know if the AiMesh Node would...

    My aimesh node is hardwired. The primary router shows it as connection priority ethernet and connection type wired. But in my system log/wireless log, i show an "unknown device" with the mac of of the wl0.1 interface on the aimesh node. Not sure if this a bug, misconfiguration, or expected...

    Two Asus RT-AC68U in AIMesh mode. I have experienced so many drops from the node router. I have tried to install fresh Merlin firmwares (384.15) for both and it is still dropping. The node drops once every say hour or so for like 30 sec then reconnects back. Is there any fix for this? Thx

    Two of my Asus routers allow for aimesh already. However, I also have a tiny ASUS-RP-AC56 range extender that plugs directly into the bathroom wall (which that doesnt support aimesh). I would like to replace this device with an aimesh compatible range extender. I tried looking for one, but...

    Good day, esteemed members, I found a good deal for a dual RT-AX92U bundle and I'm hoping to find a bit of advice here about setting up an AiMesh network with a cable backbone, that is over two hops. The reason is that I don't have a direct connection between the ground floor and second floor -...

    I have the following setup now and want to add a 3rd router. ISP Cable comes into basement on far end of house that connects to an AC86U... I then have a AC68U on the other side of the basement. I have them connected by using a LAN port on the main AC86U to the WAN Port port on the AC68U. I...

    I have 2 AC68Us in a mesh - the node keeps crashing/hanging every few hours. It just won't connect to internet - the devices connected to it shows connected via wifi - but, cant access anything. I have swapped them - still the same. I have done multiple resets - also built it from scratch after...

    How does Asus' AiMesh apply and utilize presumably artificial intelligence? I have two nodes in addition to the main device. The handoff is not always smooth and I have a few devices with -70 or worse signal. If they would only connect to a closer node, coverage would be better. Roaming...

    I've been running AIMesh with SmartConnect enabled for a couple months and I'm not happy with client placement at times. Some of my distant 5Ghz clients, like a FireStick4k is staying connected to the main Router that's 100ft away, with a signal of approx -74db on 2.4Ghz when there is a AIMesh...

    This is something of the weirdest I've seen in my 20 years of having a Windows Server at home, and my 35 years of computing! When I connect anything to the main access point in my AIMesh, which is two RT-AC88U with the latest Merlin, I can't get DHCP, and requests time out on ipconfig /renew. If...

    I have a fiber connection near the back of my house, but we use the WiFi primarily in the front two-thirds of the house on both two floors. I don’t have any WiFi signal issues in the house but would like to extend my network outback where it currently doesn’t extend. I have an RT-AC68U and...

    Would an AiMesh node (RP-AC55) retain the original MAC addresses of the connecting devices? (I bought a TP-Link Range Extender (1/3 the price) and it changes the MAC addresses of connecting devices, leading the Asus RT-AC88U router to think they are new devices and assigns them new IP addresses...

    I don't think this matters for the purposes of my question, however I'm running 3x RT-AC68U with Merlin. While playing around with my configuration, I decided to test out various fallback scenarios and was surprised by my findings. Router is connected to Node A via gigabit Ethernet. Node B...

    I have 2 Asus RT-AC86U routers. Both are updated to the latest Asus Merlin Firmware Version:384.14 One acts as my main router, the second one I set it up as an AiMesh Node. On the main router when I click the "AiMesh Node" button to search for my AiMesh node, it will not find the node. I...
