Hi, sorry I cant see the option to use WiFi as a backhaul. As soon as i connect as an AP i lose connection to the main router

Hi, but I think you need a network cable from the router to the second 88U which isn't possible, hence the repeater mode? unless there's another option i'm missing.

Thanks for testing for me, I really appreciate it. At least I'm not going mad :-) - Back to Mesh for the moment then.

Repeater is connected wirelessly on 5Ghz network.

In Mesh mode i get about 350Mpbs throughput but in Repeater mode it max's out the internet connection at 660Mbps

I've not used the 2nd router as a Repeater previously but have tried this configuration with the latest ASUS firmware as well as Merlin's. The 2nd router has been used in Mesh mode but although the throughput was good it's nearly twice as quick in Repeater mode.

Hi, thanks for the help. On the router I have 2 seperate SSID's one for 2.4ghz and one for 5ghz. I'm not using any guest SSID's. The repeater connects to the 5ghz SSID. I've just tried enabling a guest SSID but get the same problem. It looks as though the client very briefly connects but...

Hi, I have 2 RT-AX88U. The first is running as the router and all clients connect fine. The second AX88U is running in Repeater mode on the 5Ghz band. Wired devices plugged into the Repeater work fine so the connection to the first router is ok. However wireless clients will not connect on...

OK i'll make sure I test with a bit more distance. The eventual place for the bridge will be at the end of the garden. From there I'm getting about 600Mbps from the USB on router to laptop connected to bridge. Spdmerlin still shows about 200Mbps. I don't want to waste everyone's time if I'm...

Sorry I’ve been trying the bridge in different areas of the house. When in the same room about 1 metre apart for testing the throughput is 900Mbps copying from USB on router to laptop plugged into bridge. The router consistently gets 500mbps from internet through Spdmerlin. The bridge, even...

Hi, yes thats spot on. I asked Jack Yaz about 6months ago regarding running Spdmerlin from the bridge. At that point it didn't work but it does now since one of his updates. I was just trying to work out if I had something set wrong. I might be pushing what Spdmerlin was designed to do. If I...

Sorry, it looked like the general support for Spdmerlin

Hi, I have a pair of Rt-Ax88U, 1 as router and the other running as a bridge. If i run Spdmerlin on the router i get my full speed every time, about 500mbps. The bridge only gets about 200mbps using the same server. The link between the 2 is great and i can transfer files between them around...

Hi, I have setup a new rt-ax88u as a wireless bridge to my existing rt-ax88u running as the main router. Both units are running the latest firmware. I am connecting using 5ghz band. The connection speed shows as great. I am testing the units in the same room together. My broadband connection is...

I’m currently using an RT-AX88U as the router with a RT-AC88U running in Bridge Mode in a cabin at the end of the garden. The connection rate hovers around 500Mbps with actual throughput of about 300Mbps using 5Ghz. There’s no one in my area to cause channel interference. Does anyone know if i...
