    AiMesh client showing multiple identically named SID's

    I’m back to Beta testing the Linux Box Geochron program now and the mesh connection works, albeit with limitations, per my earlier stated conclusions.

    AiMesh client showing multiple identically named SID's

    I attached to the first AiMesh J-2.4G connection, see Pic 1. The connection was stable for the last 18 hours. I confirmed that the Linux box was connected to my AiMesh node called TV-Room which is physically close to my Geochron Linux box. . Then I turned off the TV-Room node radios (Wifi...

    AiMesh client showing multiple identically named SID's

    I was expecting consistency among all clients, i.e. 1 SID showing for an AiMesh system, shouldn't matter what the box OS is. The multiple AiMesh SID's for the Linux box may or may not result in a connection stability problem for the Linux box because I haven't tried connecting to any of the...

    AiMesh client showing multiple identically named SID's

    I have an AiMesh network with the components shown in my Signature. When my Wifi clients (e.g. iPhone, iPad, laptop, etc.) view available networks my Mesh system shows up with just a single SID on the network connection screen of the client. No problems here, this is just as it should be. On...

    Anybody Seen any New AiMesh Firmware, Beta or Official?

    Hi @VANT, I am using FW: 3.0.0.4.384.32799 for my (3) AC5300's (see signature) because I really want 3 bands for my AiMesh setup with my use of a wired backhaul. Will the new FW "...in a couple of weeks" be: Available for the AC5300's? Bring back the 3 Wifi bands if the AiMesh users uses a...

    ASUS RT-AC5300 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.384.45149

    LimJK, Too bad we cannot turn off the dedicated and inaccessible 5G backhaul band in 45149 when using an ethernet backhaul. I could then have pinned down the issue very quickly. AiMesh was running so well, and through the last several FW upgrades, there were no problems upgrading. I was...

    ASUS RT-AC5300 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.384.45149

    Hi LimJK, Take a look at my post on my upgrade problem for FW 384.45149 for 3 RT-AC5300's. I had a big speed problem at the parent router which was sometimes as bad as no upload connectivity. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/3-rt-ac5300s-upgraded-384-45149-quickly-downgraded-384-32799.50296/...

    RT-AC5300 upgrade 21140 from 21045-NO ISSUES :)

    My mesh setup is shown in the signature. Upgraded today, 7/11/2018. Used the Web GUI to update the mesh (parent and two nodes) from 21045. Single click did all 3 routers. No reboot needed. Took about 5 minutes from clicking Administration>check update>then click on update. When parent...

    20648 upgrade major fail on 3 RT-AC5300's working on 20379

    All my nodes are ethernet connected to the parent. I found that if there are switches between the node and the Parent, a connection priority of "Auto" gives occasionally disconnects of the node with it resulting in "offline" as seen in the parent. I also observed that with Auto connection...
