    Matching nodes for a Rt-AX88

    Ah right, it’s probably not going to make any difference then. All of the nodes are connected via Ethernet, Download speed is only about 370Mbps and upload is 38Mbps. I have a few devices which are WiFi6 compatible but I’m assuming that it’s pointless upgrading with the low speed of the ISP. So...

    Matching nodes for a Rt-AX88

    I’m currently running a RT-AX88u with 3 x RT-AC86u nodes. Obviously with the setup, WiFi 6 won’t be available from the nodes so I’m looking to replace them. Are there any recommendations or will any RT-AX models be ok as a node? Thanks

    5g uplink but cabled

    The nodes were all set to auto as default but the RT-AX88u was set to off after a factory reset, after turning it on it all worked with wired.

    5g uplink but cabled

    I’ve just replaced a failing RT-AC86u with a RT- AX88. I’ve re-added the nodes but they are using 5ghz uplink instead of wired. I’ve spent all afternoon trying to sort it out and I’m loosing my mind. The 3 nodes are RT-86u x2 and a RT-68u. Thanks EDIT I’m a massive idiot, Ethernet backhaul...

    A device on my network showing 5- 1

    I found out what is was, my work phone. I can’t believe I didn’t check that 🤦🏼‍♂️ I have an Aimesh setup and no other networks so I’m still not sure why it’s showing as 5-1

    A device on my network showing 5- 1

    I’ve got an unknown device on my network, it’s showing as 5- 1, I’ve never seen this before and have no idea what it could mean. I’m the only person that has the password for 5ghz, everyone else uses 2.4ghz.

    RT-AC86U won’t work as a node

    I’ve tried it all, I’ve never had any problems setting up a node before. It’s bizarre

    RT-AC86U won’t work as a node

    It’s a AC86 with 2 other AC86 nodes and a AC68 which is in place of the AC86 in question. All running the latest stock FW.

    RT-AC86U won’t work as a node

    Yep, works fine in every mode apart from node, if it didn’t work in other modes I would have just given up but with it working in other modes, I’m just baffled 🤯

    RT-AC86U won’t work as a node

    I had one of my AC86’s as a node, after a power cut, I noticed the node was not there. I’ve tried resetting it, restoring it to factory and reinstalling the firmware. I’ve tried it as an access point and that works fine. When I try to add it as a node, the master finds the node but fails to...

    Ahhh, I did not know this. Any recommendations on replacements?

    Aimesh dropping WiFi

    Does anyone know what is going on here? 5g is fine, 2.4 is all over the place. I’m ready for binning the lot 😡

    Aimesh dropping WiFi

    I’m not using guest WiFi. To eliminate the switch, I’ve temporarily bypassed it. I’ve been running a ping test, pinging my wired desktop, all the nodes, an AP and google every 5 seconds, this is after 5 hours from a laptop connected to a node and it doesn’t appear to be as bad as I thought 🤔

    Aimesh dropping WiFi

    I am having trouble with my WiFi. Recently setup 3 nodes and a master, all are RT-AC86U. One node is connected to my DSL-AC88U the other 2 nodes and the master are connected to a netgear GS724T managed switch. The nodes don’t seem to be dropping, just the WiFi. Does anyone have any idea what...
