    ac3100 mesh node 5Ghz missing

    Greetings and happy New Year all! Just a quick question and some help if possible. My Mesh network is running fine. Using 4 Asus routers in my 2 story 3900SF home. AX86u as main and another AX86u, AC86u and my 3100. Current Asus firmware is up to date. I noticed this morning that when I go into...

    Asus 3100 connecting to Node not main router

    Edit-Figured it out. Rebooted the 86U in the garage and now all 3 nodes are connecting back to the main router.

    Asus 3100 connecting to Node not main router

    Morning all. Just wanted some clarification. I have a Mesh network with 4 Asus router in my home. I have one AX86U as my main router, a second AX86U, AC86U and 3100 as nodes. I have always had all 3 nodes connecting directly to the main router when I view the mesh topology in the Asus browser...

    2 AX-86U's working via 2.5Gb Backhaul

    Haha...You're completely right. 5Ghz works fine for my last 6-7 iPhones. Just wanted to see what AX could provide. I was going to get an 6e router but don't even have any clients, and I've had my AC86u's for almost 4 years so I decided to try the AX-86U's. With the newer hardware my system does...

    2 AX-86U's working via 2.5Gb Backhaul

    Thanks for the feedback. I also read a lot of your posts regarding AP mode. Only issue for me is that all my Routers are hard wired except my 3100 due to location. I need it next to my fish tank for Apex aquarium control and there is no way to drop a ethernet cable from where the aquarium is...

    2 AX-86U's working via 2.5Gb Backhaul

    I've been lurking this forum for awhile and have read many posts by you talking about this. I thought you would post this after I made mine. Yeah, I understand what you mean when you talk about too many routers with WIFI handoff issues with overlapping. I've been running 3 in Aimesh for the...

    2 AX-86U's working via 2.5Gb Backhaul

    GONE-ZO =) Agree completely. Makes it very confusing. Oh well.... Now I have 4 Asus routers total running in Aimesh..... Keeping one of my trusty old AC-86U's in my garage and my Trusty old 3100 downstairs in my Livingroom. My house is 3900 SF, and probably overkill with having 4 routers, but...

    2 AX-86U's working via 2.5Gb Backhaul

    Yes.....I was totally confused..... Could not find anywhere to configure the NODE. Then I tried as what Ozark stated to do and lost internet connection...... Went back, disabled Dual Wan, and set primary to just WAN, rebooted and back on line. And..... Ethernet Backhaul is connected via 2.5 Gb...

    2 AX-86U's working via 2.5Gb Backhaul

    U are right....Very confusing. OK. My ISP is a 1Gb connection. I have my WAN cable from My ISP drop connected to the Blue Primary WAN input on the back of my Main Router. I Have the AX-86U node connected via Backhaul and my Ethernet cable is plugged into BOTH 2.5 Ports on the main router and...

    2 AX-86U's working via 2.5Gb Backhaul

    TY for the quick reply Ozark. U are always very helpful on this forum. Apologize for the Noob question, but to clarify, Should I have not enabled dual WAN then? I have read so many threads regarding use of the AX-86U's 2.5 Gb port and always read that Dual WAN needs to be enabled, but is that...

    2 AX-86U's working via 2.5Gb Backhaul

    Greetings all. Was able to upgrade my trusty Aimesh home network from AC-86U's to the AX versions. I was able to get the 2nd AX connected and added as a node. I then enabled the Dual wan setting for the main router and set up the secondary as Ethernet/Lan. I then connected to both 2.5Gb ports on...

    ASUS rt-ac86u stops broadcasting 2 ghz

    If u read my original post, mine is doing the EXACT same thing! Definitely must be an issue with these routers. I just put in an email with Asus tech support. Let's see if they give me the run around and tell me I'm S*** out of luck or they somehow do the right thing and Send me and RMA for this...

    ASUS rt-ac86u stops broadcasting 2 ghz

    Thanks for the reply Ozark- The 2ghz channel does stay lit on the 86u mesh node but it is solid and their is no "blinking" to show the channel is transmitting. My main router and 3100 2 ghz channels are working fine. I have done a factory reset on the 86u node and the problem persists. I would...

    ASUS rt-ac86u stops broadcasting 2 ghz

    Greetings fellas- I have read all the threads with the 86u hardware issue with the wireless channel and wanted some feedback and help from you guys if possible? I purchased 2 of the 86u's back when they first came out, so I've had them installed for almost 2 years. I also have a rt3100 that has...

    ASUS RT-AC86U firmware release 3.0.0.4.384.45713

    Just to clarify.... I'm running the 2nd 86U in Ethernet wired back-haul mode. Never thought the cable could be the issue as the devices that are connected to it run fine wired and do not lose connection. Also, are u suggesting that I change it from wired back-haul to wireless? Thanks for the...
