Thanks for confirming. Weird that the xt9 as a node with the ax82u offers better performance in some cases than the two xt9 router node setup. I think they’re going back. I’m sick of this wall.

Sorry to resurrect this but I fail to understand how, as according to ASUS, a dual band router with tri band node can use a dedicated wireless backhaul. I’ve set up a dsl-ax82u with one xt9 and it does connect with a wireless backhaul on 5ghz… but clients are still connecting to the router on...

I’ve added the screens to my post but in a nutshell 2.4, 5-1, and 5-2 are all being used right now on the node and 5/2.4 are both being used at the router side. To me it looks like this is working with dedicated backhaul, but I just hope to confirm! Thanks for taking the time, I appreciate it...

Is the xds6 dual band then? I received my xt9’s today - enabled smart connect on my ax82u and then took the second xt9 node (the one without the “start with me” sticker) and associated it to the existing network. It looks like it is using the 5ghz backhaul, but I’m new to the wireless backhaul...

So why would ASUS list it as wireless backhaul? Do you think they mean for clients wired in?

Hi all? Jumping in a bit late here but wondering the same thing - and a bit confused. I have a dsl-ax82u that I need to be connected to the phone line, in a place that doesn’t need much WiFi (living room). Using ASU’s mesh if I buy a tri band can I use the 5ghz on the dual band to connect to...

Thanks @glens and @Tech9 - is there a better system for wireless backhaul in your opinions? Related to Merlin’s firmware, I have to keep the DSL modem /ax82u so the plan would be leave that routing and use the mesh’s system in bridge - though untold prefer if Merlin was on everything, for the...

Unfortunately only option 1 works, I’m a renter. So given I have the dsl-ax82u right now (dual band) I can’t really see adding an rt-ax82u to it offering much benefit over a mediocre signal? Given it would share the single band, even at 160. It seems like the only option I have where I live is...

All good points. I use Merlin so I’m not sure what the oob limitations are here. I feel like I was still able to select into the 100s easily. My thought was then to get something that’s triband so I can do the WiFi back haul. But I would like to know infused all the cash on the xt9 whether...

I’m coming back to this later as im Now considering mesh and also must use a dsl modem and this is the one I have. I’m really surprised to read you would use an isp router instead of this one. At least in the uk the isp routers are quite bad. For example bt won’t even let me change dns while...
