    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3 beta is now available

    I see the RP-AX56 latest firmware from June is 386 code base. So can you tell then if your RP-AX56 is running AiMesh 2.0? or are the repeaters still AiMesh 1.0? I'm curious as I am interested in how AsusWRT stock nodes work with Asus Merlin as the primary router and of course with this new...

    ASUS XD4 Router Merlin Support?

    Look at my sig I run this exact configuration with no issues Main Router is RT-AX68U running Merlin and AiMesh. AiMesh nodes are 1x RT-AC88U and 2x ZenWiFi AX Mini running AsusWRT 3.0.0.4.386_43129.

    AX88 Wired AIMESH 2xAC5300 - time to upgrade the AC5300

    note: since you have the luxury of hardwire, I see no point of the AX92 which is $$$ but tri band. hence the cheaper AX68U (dual band)

    AX88 Wired AIMESH 2xAC5300 - time to upgrade the AC5300

    "But at the AX using WPA2/3 and moving to the bedrooms moving to on of the AC, have restart WiFi on the device to connect to them as they don't support WPA2/3." ah you mean you using something like WPA3 on the main router but when you have a iphone that moves over to a AC AiMesh node, then the...

    Which Add-on? One DHCP pool – Selective gateway assignment.

    Which Add-on? One DHCP pool – Selective gateway assignment. TL;DR Can I use one of the Add-ons like YazDHCP, x3mRouting etc. To point devices to different gateways? LONGER For performance, attempting to split traffic between two OpenVPN clients – one on the Asus Router and one on a...

    AX88 Wired AIMESH 2xAC5300 - time to upgrade the AC5300

    so just having the LEDs off all the time is not an option? FWIW I am happy enough with my RT-AX68U which Merlin does support and I think the RT-AX68U is cheaper when it came out than what the AC-5300 was selling for initially. RT-AX68U is also much smaller than the AC5300

    AX88 Wired AIMESH 2xAC5300 - time to upgrade the AC5300

    I got a performance boost on Wifi 6 for a desktop in an office room like perhaps an extra 150Mbps over my AC router. And I supposed that's helpful when I am doing a file copy back to a file server. But otherwise even if I were to stream some 4K file from the file server, from an end user...

    AX88 Wired AIMESH 2xAC5300 - time to upgrade the AC5300

    It's my understanding that there is no real advantage to running Merlin on the AiMesh nodes. So just run Merlin on the main router and stock Asus on the nodes. So get whatever you want for those nodes.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 is now available

    Update: For my setup, the AiMesh wireless network after one week would become unstable for a desktop wireless connected to a AC88U node running Merlin based on 386 code. However, once I moved the AC88U node back to stock AsusWRT (main router Merlin and all nodes stock) then I no longer had...
