    To AiMesh or not to AiMesh - that is the question

    I have been battling intermittent freezing issues with my AX11000 and AC86 in AI Mesh mode, Ethernet backhaul, for over six months. Asus even RMA replaced my AX11000. I tried every firmware, every hard reset, every setting trick. Nothing but dozens of wasted hours. Finally after putting in...

    Please recommend AI Mesh node model

    so I threw the towel in after tonight’s crash (Right after the post where I said it had not crashed in days). I reset both routers and set up the AC86 as an access point. I only need it’s Wi-Fi when in the mancave. Mesh is not really a big deal for me. Will report back in stability.

    Please recommend AI Mesh node model

    thanks for the reply. My ax11000 has been replaced already with a new one. Not the unit. I only have issue with Ethernet backhaul. both my AC86 and ax11000 work fine as standalone routers. Been three days since putting in the Merlin firmware with hard reset. Crashed right after setting...

    Please recommend AI Mesh node model

    thanks! Just flashed to the suggested Merlin firmwares. nice to see a temperature reading. Any way to check the temp on the node? Curious about my 86 as many report high temps. hopefully this works.

    Please recommend AI Mesh node model

    thanks for the reply! I have been battling this for months. Tried endless troubleshooting. Both routers are stable as stand alones. The 86 is stable as the mesh node when not Ethernet backhaul. This is not an option as I get no signal where it is located, needs to be hardwired. I have...

    Please recommend AI Mesh node model

    Hi, currently I am running an AX11000 with a hardwired AC86U mesh node. I have been experiencing frequent failures that require me to reboot the AX11000. Asus even exchanged the 11000 for me. I have tried all firmwares, hard resets, beta firmwares, settings, etc. I am ready to throw the...

    Fedup with Asus and Aimesh problems, need very solid wireless solution for my home

    Read my latest post on my issues. I needed daily reboots! Could be easily fixed? First of all, use the beta firmware (I think you are). Next disable airtime fairness and universal beam forming. Might have fixed me.

    AX11000/AC86U Mesh needs daily reboots - help!

    So five days of no reboots since I disabled airtime fairness and universal beam forming. I thought I had these disabled, but they were not. On the non beta firmware, I think they were disabled. Odd.... is it possible either of these could cause the need for daily reboots due to total crash...

    AX11000/AC86U Mesh needs daily reboots - help!

    I will try it.... I did however just receive a replacement AX11000 from Asus and have the same exact issues. Different firmware, and I did not install old settings. I just set it up fresh. The AC86 was also reset before putting it back as a node. Maybe the reset will work... just not very...

    AX11000/AC86U Mesh needs daily reboots - help!

    I wish I knew how to read it. I sent it to Asus. The Ethernet cable is wall fished. Been reliable in every setting for over ten years. I had a switch there and never had any issues when I had my old setup or with my PC there. I can try a different cable after I hear back from Asus...

    AX11000/AC86U Mesh needs daily reboots - help!

    thanks! Yeah, I mentioned I put it in. Still needs reboots. Did not do a hard reset though. Maybe I should.
