    ZenWiFi XD5 Mesh Nodes (2 out of 4) are Flashing Green!

    An update... I finally got through to a live agent at Asus Support (wasn't an easy task!). I now have RMA's for all 5 routers so hopefully I will soon be past this issue. Fortunately all 5 were still under warranty.

    ZenWiFi XD5 Mesh Nodes (2 out of 4) are Flashing Green!

    @jksmurf Thanks for the reply. I have to say that I have been wary of applying updates given my Green Blinking light issue! However, I did update the Main router and 2 remaining XD5's here in Florida. I will also update the others when I am on site. Any thoughts on how I get access to the...

    ZenWiFi XD5 Mesh Nodes (2 out of 4) are Flashing Green!

    I originally started this thread, back in June, posting about my vacation home where 2 of the 4 nodes (all XD5's) became unresponsive and constantly blinking green. Sadly, I never found a way to get these routers operational. I ended up replacing them with some old XD4's which I had used in...

    Issue with Non-Asus Router in AIMesh Network

    Follow up... I went back to the generator today and went through the various steps in turning the unit off, including disconnecting the battery. Unfortunately, I still ended up with a WiFi connection. I sent a detailed email, to Generac support, laying out all the steps I went through and...

    Issue with Non-Asus Router in AIMesh Network

    Thanks for the replies. @L&LD I have never used a router in Media Bridge but doing a bit of reading I see that it’s primarily for connecting devices with an Ethernet cable to improve the speed of that connection. If I understand that correctly then I would think that I still have the same issue...

    I have a big house with a large rural property. My internet is a Bell wireless 50/10 system. For my network I am using have an Asus AIMesh system with the following components: the main router (RT-AC86U) [3.0.0.4.386_51915-g43629d2]; and 6 nodes, as follows: RT-AC86U (WiFi)...

    Vacation Home Network behind CGNAT - How to Access the Network?

    The ISP (Bell Canada) does not offer that in the rural area and there are no other ISP's that provide a comparable service.

    Vacation Home Network behind CGNAT - How to Access the Network?

    At my vacation home I have Bell (Canada) Wireless Internet which uses a CGNAT design, so I cannot access or see my Asus (RT-AC86U) or any part of my network that isn't part of a cloud service. My objective is to gain access to that network so that I can access my security cameras, my HA system...

    New Home AiMesh Network - AX68U, AC86U, and 4 ZenwiFi AX Minis (XD4) - Need some help

    No... you clearly aren't understanding what I wrote! Yes, I asked for advice because I am trying to create an effective network that serves my purpose. However, you seem to be upset that I haven't blindly accepted that your recommendation and that I have too many routers in my network, is the...

    New Home AiMesh Network - AX68U, AC86U, and 4 ZenwiFi AX Minis (XD4) - Need some help

    I will be the first to admit that I do not know all the technical aspects of how WiFi works and perhaps my simplistic view is just that, too simplistic. However, bear in mind that what I am trying to accomplish, for the wireless part of my network, is to provide a strong signal for the numerous...

    New Home AiMesh Network - AX68U, AC86U, and 4 ZenwiFi AX Minis (XD4) - Need some help

    I agree with you that my original post was probably too long and, as Tech9 pointed out, had far too many questions! I also agree that over time I will have to figure out what works best by trying different configs. However, having said that, I have already seen a significant improvement in the...

    New Home AiMesh Network - AX68U, AC86U, and 4 ZenwiFi AX Minis (XD4) - Need some help

    I read that you should try make sure that your devices have a signal strength between -30dBm and -67dBm and get concerned when a device approaches the -90dBm level. So this is what I am using as my benchmark for analyzing signal strength. I also agree with you that I don't need full bars for...

    New Home AiMesh Network - AX68U, AC86U, and 4 ZenwiFi AX Minis (XD4) - Need some help

    Thanks JIm. I'm going to have a look at the WiFi Sweetspot app and see if that helps me analyze my network.

    New Home AiMesh Network - AX68U, AC86U, and 4 ZenwiFi AX Minis (XD4) - Need some help

    I see now why you stated that the 86U is a better choice for the gateway... you are comparing the AX86U to the AX68U, whereas I have the AC86U, which is an older model. Here is a link comparing the 3 routers - AX68U; AC86U; and AX86U. As far as I can see the AX68U and AC86U are similar in most...
