Just a quick naive question: Does aimesh actually do anything different under the hood than if set in repeater mode with the same SSID. I understand the lack of centralized management, etc but I'm wondering if the actual behavior of the node with connections/disconnections and roaming is...

Hello. I was having issues pairing my ax86u pro with the ax57 go as a mesh node. Turning on guest network pro on the main router took down the node forever. This firmware fixed it for me. I was advised to post a link to the thread in case it helps anyone. Post in thread 'AX57 go as...

Thanks for the help. I’ll post a link as you suggested. It’s curious no one else reported this issue when it was so reproducible for me.

Just a followup. I reproduced the issue over and over with merlin and latest stock. The good news: With the beta firmware 9.0.0.6.102_37342, issue is resolved. The node is wirelessly detected and no issue with GNP. I did notice that something is different with the AIMESH detection. It...

Thank you. I will try I was thinking the issue was with the node but I guess it could be the main as well. I appreciate all the help. I’ll try the beta.

I actually tried that. I set the backbone to 5ghz and the GNP to 2.4. Activating the GNP took down the node, even if it wasn’t selected to propagate there. Very strange to me. Turning off GNP , the node came back.

I will try i have an old ac86u but that may be different as it doesn’t have guest network pro. Regarding wireless type failure. It works fine in wisp mode and extender mode, so wouldn’t that rule that out?

And yes, for the travel routet, i used the method from the link

Thanks for the response. I reset firmware to factory on both. Is that a hard reset? Or does that mean something else?

I tried. No difference. I guess its a bug.

Thanks for the hints. I made some progress, and uncovered some issues. I disabled all the guest wifi networks on the main router, and removed all the ethernet cables on the main router. The AX57 go was then found wirelessly and completed pairing as an AIMESH node. However, even after a long...

Thank you for the response. I tried with wps off and on and nothing changes. It actually prompts you to turn wps on for node detection. I can set up the other modes fine like Wisp, router, extender, etc. aimesh is really flaky though. Even when connected with Ethernet, it lists some Wired...

The node shows totally offline, so I see no RSSI. Its not connecting at all wirelessly.

Is there something I can track for errors like a log or something? I'm not sure why its failing at 85%, and why it can't connect wirelessly.

I've tried it with Merlin and reflashed to stock as well. Both fail when trying to connect wirelessly at 85%. Both connect fine with ethernet backhaul, but once the cable is removed, it loses connection and never finds it.
