If anyone's still looking at this :). Here's what I have noticed now. I have not reset the router yet. If you leave your browser window open and logged in, it gets logged out properly upon timeout. If you close the window and then reopen a new one later after the timeout, it is in that...

@CaptnDanLKW I might try that some time .... at a time when I'm willing to suffer the consequences if things go wrong. It's worth it just for the fun of getting to know the nvram settings better. Where did you find out about that one, do you have documentation about them? Thank you...

@L&LD @wouterv @OzarkEdge Good suggestions, thank you all. I guess I was being lazy, but you are all suggesting the same thing. I'll gratefully accept that advice, take the plunge and do this. I have the added incentive that one of the Nodes I purchased has a much faster CPU than the current...

@OzarkEdge I'm not 100% sure what you mean. I've had my router for a long time and it's on the latest firmware but I have not factory reset it and reconfigured from scratch lately. Or ever. All the other nodes were factory reset (by necessity) when joining the mesh. As you know from...

@OzarkEdge oh I see "existing home wiring". No I didn't mean power lines. Long before Mesh existed I strung three ethernet cables: to the attic, a closet, and two corners of the basement to address specific needs at the time. Those places are not ideal for Node placement but they work well...

I have a mesh network with firmware fully updated. When I go to the web admin interface after the session timeout I never get the login screen. I get logged in automatically but only parts of the user interface work. Parts are empty and parts are unresponsive. I have to press "Logout" in...

I have the same situation as you. Lots of brick walls and very poor coverage inside and out. With the whole family now working and schooling from home and spending more time in the yard I had to solve this. I looked at Eero and Amplifi and Google and a few other mesh providers. They are...

If I point my browser to the IP address of an AiMesh node I get redirected to the router. Is there a way to NOT get redirected to the router, and log in to the admin GUI of the node? I can ssh into the nodes but I don't know where to find all the info that is available via the GUI.

@OzarkEdge I think you are probably right in that I'd have to start from scratch, though I do not agree that any kind of wisdom would dictate that. I would think "wisdom" would allow any node to become the router just by physically connecting it that way. They all clone the same config and...

I keep expanding my AiMesh network with cheap Asus routers from Ebay. I love this! But along the way I've acquired nodes that are faster than my router. I should use the most powerful one as the router. But I've made a lot of configurations .... I've named all the clients, I've given...

Pretty sure this is a dead end but may as well ask: I have an AiMesh network with several nodes to cover my whole house. My alarm company installed their own WiFi router, which accesses the internet through mine but broadcasts its own WiFi signal to communicate with some of their gadgets...

I want to collect signal strength statistics FOR EACH CLIENT from an AiMesh network, repeatedly over time, so I can identify clients having trouble. I purchased several RT-AC68U routers on ebay at great prices and setting them up with AiMesh and wired backhaul I'm pretty happy with the results...

Zoom is pretty good at adjusting to available bandwidth. You have enough bandwidth for everything except if all four people are on Zooms with video and have their cameras on at the same time. If that's really important you probably need better upload speed. Ask the adults how often they have...

Is there documentation for all the Asus-specific tools available via the command line shell? I can find and am familiar with all the standard Linux tools but I'm interested in what can be done with the ones specific to the router. For example (I posted another question) gain access to the...

I'm on an RT-AC68U with 3.0.0.4.385 but I think this question will apply to most WRT routers. The Traffic Analyzer app in the web GUI shows a breakdown of traffic by device, by app, and sometimes by destination server. It does this with pretty graphs and tables for the "Top 5" devices and...
