    Hi, people who used aimesh, how aimesh performed for you? What are your thought? Is Wifi signal good? Can you use guest network, parental control etc? Thinking to buy ac66u b1 for aimesh with my current ac68u. Sent fra min SM-N950F via Tapatalk

    I have been using AiMesh on over many AiMesh models for the past year and I would like to share some thoughts on AiMesh. Opinions are my own. Discussion welcomed. Lack of proper roaming support AiMesh does not support any of the 802.11 roaming standard. ASUS is relying on their roaming...

    Hi, I own a RT-88U (2 bands / 3200 mbps) working perfectly. I'd like to add an other router at first floor using AImesh (wire link between both) for my Wifi extension. Sons at first floor will use 5 Ghz to play with their Sony PS4. Which other Asus router you recommend me to buy ? Other...

    Hey all, Have a GT-AC5300, RT-AC5300 and AC66u B1. I've had them in AiMesh for quite some time now. Generally speaking, they work great as of the last several firmware updates. What I keep fighting with, is crappy IoT devices that only support 2.4 (like WeMo). I'm using Smart Connect so...

    The performance is not sufficient enough to stream high bitrate video(above 100mbps) under Aimesh. However, once I change the node to media bridge mode, they will perform well and stable for as long as they are on. Will these be improved under Aimesh mode in the future? In the latest...

    I have a house with thick walls so have a spare router acting as a aimesh node. The main router is a DSL-AC68U and the node is a RT-AC68U. The whole system can be completely stable for a while and then randomly the node will just drop all connections. The main things that connect to the node...

    Hey Guys, New here and new to Asus. Replacing my Nighthawk R7000 tonight. I have them both broadcasting on separate channels next to each other and in general the R7000 is getting a slightly lower DB range to the downstairs where I am running Wifi Analyzer to measure readings. Any tips to boost...

    Good day, I have a system consisting of: FritzBox 7430 from a German ISP ---> RT-AC5300 (VPN) which works fine (different IP addressing, etc). What I tried to do was setup the AiMesh with a RT-AC86U connected (as a node) to the RT-AC5300 last night; it worked with regards to discovery and...

    I'm considering purchasing a security gateway and placing my Asus routers from Mesh Router into Mesh AP mode. In addition to VPN, what features would I be looking at losing? I'm aware that I would lose guest Wifi but would I still be able to have multiple SSIDs? Will the ASUS phone app still...

    Hi all, I have tried just about everything to get AIMesh to work, but it still disconnects frequently and is unstable. My main router is a RT-AC68U my node is RT-AC68P. They are direct line of sight of one another about 15 feet apart. Per other suggestions here, I downgraded the firmware...

    Using AiMesh with AC-RT86U and two (2) AiMesh nodes RT-AC68U, RT-AC1900P and it works pretty good. Noticed I have some IP cameras roaming around between the nodes but I can add only add 3 to the block list. Anybody, or is that just me?

    Hello Everyone! We have a large one-story home that has low signal/dead spots in the bedrooms towards the back side of the house because of a brick fireplace and chimney between the router and the bedrooms. AiMesh looks promising, and another AP/radio wouldn't hurt as we have about 40 client...

    I have a two-story house. The first floor with a RT-AC88U (primary) and one RT-AC68U as a Node. Both with firmware updated. Both routers linked by wired connection. In theory working. The problem is that the system does not identify the lack of signal of my devices, letting part of these with a...

    Hi, I was wondering how far away I could place the node from the main router and still have them work well, Also can I place Node and then have another node hook up wireless to that node or does each node need to connect to the main router?

    I have the RT-AC5300 and the GT-AC5300. I currently have the RT as the Main, and the GT as the Node connected wirelessly. My questions are: 1. Should the GT be the Main Router? - More Memory? Does it really make a difference? 2. What are the recommended settings for this configuration? 3...

    Hello, I just bought an Asus rt-ac5300 router and have a couple of questions. Is there a way to see packet information? Specifically, a counter that shows dropped/collisions on both lan ports and wireless? The system log is not my cup of tea. I had an old dlink (DIR-655) router that...

    Basically I'm wondering if I can extend the range of my network by having: router--node--node (the last node is not within range of the primary, only the 1st node). Thank you.

Currently we have two RT-N66Us, one as the main router, and the other as a repeater (the owner doesn't want ethernet cables running through his house). Most of the devices in the...

    I've got the first AC68 in the middle of my house and the second AC68 on the side. I've got ethernet cables routed to both of those routers. I have the second AC68 working as a mesh node now. But from what I've read, it doesn't sound like plugging the ethernet cable into it will matter. And...

    Hi! I already had an RT-AC68U and I bought another one, to set up a AiMesh network. I have followed the instructions, both official and unofficial, very very carfully. The router never finds the node. I have done the process many times now, and factory reset both router and node (several...

    I just bought an AC3100 and the links to download AiMesh fw are going to a blank page, then redirecting to the general product page. Will the fw that it automatically downloads have AiMesh?

    Hey all, I use an AC66u as an access point to my AC5300, both on Merlin (380.69_2). I see that the official firmware now supports AiMesh on the AC5300, but all references to the AC66u appear to be for the B1 model only. I don't believe I have this as I bought the AC66u the day it came out and...

    I've converted some T-Mobiles to 68U's running Advanced Tomato and I would like to move to AIMesh. I was *hoping* I could simply cross-flash from Tomato; no success. I also tried flashing MerlinWRT at the Mini-CFE web server(?), which simply re-initializes my Tomato install. I assume, then, I...

    Previously I had two rt-ac68U's both in AP mode, one in the basement and one on the first floor. They were both ethernet connected to the router via a patch panel and switch. The router was the one provided by the ISP. I was getting speeds on both Asus routers of around 350Mbps. I've just...
