    Hello! There is a place where I need to help to extend WIFI coverage. The current setup are two ax58u models (one as main router and one as wired AiMesh node). The new "mancave" basement would get two ac68u as wired nodes (Yes, I told them that those models are too old and they should get newer...

    Hello, I am looking to install another router to my setup but will be outside inside of a outdoor kitchen (not wired). I know that Asus does not make an outdoor units so I was going to install it in a IP67 project box and possibly remove the antennas and mount them to the side and top of the...

    I've using a TUF Gaming AX4200 as my main router and a RT-AC1900U as AiMesh Node. Yesterday, after the first configuration, AiMesh was working perfectly. Today, coincidently or not, after I made some changes, iPhones can't connect to the node, presenting an error "unable to access (SSID)" or...

    I've been encountering a weird Wi-Fi issue with my AiMesh setup where every few days, the Wi-Fi connected in AiMesh mode gets disconnected, displaying an error on my phone/iPad stating "incorrect password." The temporary fix I've found is manually rebooting the node, but I'm looking for a more...

    Hi I have now the following Aimesh setup: RT AXE88U pro as router and 4 XT8 nodes. My idea was when buying the 88Upro that I would connect 1 XT8 node by cable to the router and that then the other 3XT8 nodes would be capable of using the 5GHz-2 band from the wired backhauled XT8 node, which...

    It 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. I was just curious if this actually matters. Can you use one of the LAN ports, even during setup of the node? Anyone play around with this...

    If I'm using ethernet to connect an AiMesh node to the main router, does the node need to be within Wi-Fi range during the setup process? Or can the node be configured if it's only accessible by the main router via the ethernet connection plugged into the WAN port on the router? Thanks, Harry

    With AiMesh (86Us), I see that each node uses the same channels. Accordingly, the nodes' signals are overlaid on top of each other, with farther nodes being weaker than ones nearby. I also understand that overlaid/overlapped channels cause interference, which is why the nodes should properly...

    I have Asus RT-AX86U running Asus-merlin 386.4 as main router I want to buy Asus RT-AX55 and make it a wired AIMESH node but it doesnt have Asus-merlin firmware. Will AIMESH still function as expected mixing merlin and non-merlin firmware? Thanks!

    I have recently setup an AI mesh system to support my network. Currently I am using an AX-86U as the primary and an AX-82U as the AP. I have ATT Gigabit internet and was using the AP to hardwire my gaming PC to the network. I am noticing more lag/packet loss while being hardwired than I am just...

    I have set up AiMesh on a GT-AXE11000 as the Mesh Router and a GT-AC5300 as a Mesh Node. I tried plugging some TV STB devices (FireTV, AppleTV, and Xbox) into the AC5300, but it doesn't appear the switch ports work on the AC5300 (when in Mesh Node mode?). The AC5300 is using ethernet backhaul...

    So I know that I don't have the optimal setup but here's the backstory. I recently purchased the AX55 to act as a node for PC gaming. The way this works is that my main router, which is located about 10m away from my gaming PC will act as a regular router and the AX55 will act as a node over...

    Originally I have 1 router and 1 access point connected together via ethernet. Both at center of the house and one on each floor. It kinda works but just annoying to manage when I have to update them. I was thinking let's try out aimesh and buy another extra access point to increase the...

Here's the situation: Basement and 2nd floor are the only areas that have 1 room that contains multiple outlets...

    I have a RT-AC5300 as main and 3 Lyra MAP-AC2200 nodes running aimesh with ethernet backhaul. Everything works as expected except one thing. Apparently, I don't see any option to bind clients to lyra nodes. Is this not supported at all or am I missing something? I can bind the clients to the...

    Hi, first time poster here. I currently have an AC86u as a main router, and an AC68u as a AiMesh node (wireless backhaul as wired is not possible). The AC86u is unfortunately in probably the worst place it could be, being downstairs in the extreme corner of a 1000 sq ft house, but there is...

    I have problem with disconnected calls on Teams and Messenger when moving PC and phone between the two nodes during a call. Should roaming work without disconcerting? AC86U as main and AC68u as node, use the latest FW, ethernet backhaul. They are located with large overlap. Use the same SSID on...

    I had a cloud to ground lightning strike that fried my cable modem and AC68U last week and destroyed a tree in my yard. I've been testing the AC68U and found the WAN, LAN 1&2 ports are bad but the WIFI and LAN 3&4 work just fine. I've been using it as a repeater for a week and I haven't had any...

    Hello Everyone, Considering that Merlin firmware now supports Aimesh, what would be your advice on merlin firmware for nodes? I have an AC5300 as the main router (running Merlin) and AC3100 node (running stock Asus firmware). Also with AiMesh can someone share their smart connect rules that...

    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...
