    My RT-AC86U reset to factory. Checking on my settings and firmware

    It's been a few days and router still up and didn't reset again. Anyone have thoughts on any other settings to change from default? I know this group was very active back when Aimesh came out so hopefully some still follow. Also, what is the correct order and process to update firmware. From...

    My RT-AC86U reset to factory. Checking on my settings and firmware

    Greetings. I have been happily running my AIMesh setup since they came out with it and I got it working with the help of this forum. My RT-AC86U is my main router and my nodes are another RT-AC86U and a 1900P. Yesterday the wifi was funky so I rebooted the router....when it came up I did not...

    Adding to RT-AC86U and RT-AC1900P in AiMesh

    @bbunge, I always find firmware updates scary! :) I think due to a fried motherboard years ago. Anyway, if I download the latest firmware for my router and nodes and upgrade all 3, will the move to AiMesh 2 keep all my prior router settings such as the router fixed IP, all my other settings? I...

    Adding to RT-AC86U and RT-AC1900P in AiMesh

    Greetings! I have ben happily using my Aimesh with my RT-AC86U as my main router and now two RT-AC1900P's as my nodes. Works very well. So of course I want to mess with that! Actually I was looking at adding a guest network for my ecobee thermostats that occasionally disconnect hoping that...

    Adding to RT-AC86U and RT-AC1900P in AiMesh

    Thanks for the great info all! I am going to relook at wiring and try to wire the third AP. I assume this would stop any network degradation. I think I will also put the new RT-AC86U where the most traffic is and move the RT-AC1900P to the lesser used area but still wired for backhaul. When...

    Adding to RT-AC86U and RT-AC1900P in AiMesh

    I have an RT-AC86U as my main router and added a RT-AC1900P in AiMesh mode a while ago. I have them connected in ethernet backhaul mode and has worked well. Getting them setup was quite the hassle quite a while ago. I have ethernet in various places but not where I want to extend the wifi...

    RT-AC86U finally added RT-AC1900P as node for Aimesh - what worked

    Thanks, hope that helps someone and glad it worked for you. None of my SSID's were hidden. I am fairly certain it was my other AP. I never did get around to tweaking my settings but it has run reliably since. I do reboot my router nightly with a timer which eliminated some issues I had been...

    RT-AC86U finally added RT-AC1900P as node for Aimesh - what worked

    A long-time lurker of the great info on this site but first time post. I found it interesting that all the best discussions and was going to post of my issue until I solved it. I read up quite a bit on this before jumping in but still cannot get it to work. I was thinking I might have some...
