I finally bought a RP-AX58 to test and wanted to provide feedback. When joined to the Pro device in an AiMesh you can repeat the core WiFi network and one Pro virtual network.

I had asked for supported devices because I don't want items that aren't updated on my network. Being behind a firewall doesn't protect a device that literally broadcasts into meat space as its primary function.

I guess I've been off the forums too long, is there any official news or post I can read about this?

I just got done with support and the answer from the first tier of support was that any supported AiMesh device works with Guest Network Pro networks. Which as we can see from testing is technically true. So, I then asked for clarification that all 3 of my Guest Network Pro networks would be...

I need to look at all my IoT devices as I have two different IoT VLANs but only having one might be enough depending on where those devices are located. Thanks for testing!

I appreciate the detailed response!

Making a support ticket, lets see what their answer is. As I'm very curious what they say for something like the RP-AX58.

I'm still curious if you can expand a Pro AiMesh virtual network to the non-pro devices. Looking at the BestBuy website I saw the RP-AX58 for $80 which says it's an AiMesh extender. Checking the firmware page for it's still on 3.0.0.4.388 but that's at least newer than the 3.0.0.4.386 of the...

It's a wireless AP, by it's very nature it's always exposed to everyone in wireless range. It's not supported, so it's not part of my infrastructure.

Thanks for the info, I'll look into what they have locally!

I decommissioned the AC68/AC86 because they're no longer supported and while I didn't mention it security is requirement #1 for my network. I had Merlin on them but as he's stated he's no longer supporting them. The AC86 isn't supported by OpenWRT and others and the AC68 is 12+ years old and...

Looking for advice on a device to get as well as if what I'm trying to do is even possible. I've currently got a RT-AX88U Pro as my primary network device that replaced a AC86U+AC68U AiMesh. I was hoping it would provide enough coverage but it doesn't just on the 2.4 ghz network where all my...

I figured out my issue, it had been so long since I swapped devices I forgot the AT&T Modem Passthrough requires you provide the MAC address of the router behind it. So, I was technically in a double NAT situation. Once I updated the MAC address to be that of the new AX88U Pro and rebooted, it...

Brand new RT-AX88U Pro Firmware Version: 3.0.0.6.102_33320 UPnP Disabled I've had a couple AC68U and AC86U devices so very familiar to the Asus world. I just replaced my AC86U with this RT-AX88U Pro and had them both online and used the one to be the basis to configure the other. Nothing else...

I'm not really sure what that's supposed to imply. That Asus is blocking outbound DNS from everything but the router itself on purpose?
