    ASUS RT-AC66U_B1 All AiMesh Nodes Stopped Working

    Your problem reminded mine. I have AiMesh by 2 x AX86U. One nice day, my main AX86U router stopped letting AX86U Aimesh node connect, no matter what I tried. I reset the main one, rebuilt the AiMesh Node AX86U as router and the old main router became AiMesh node. It was 18 months ago. I've then...

    In my experience, dropped packets could cause by so many factors from hardware, software by so many devices involved along the interlinked! I've been using RT-AX86U since 2021 and it's pretty reliable. It seems the Pro version of AX86U having the problems since released... why didn't you try the...

    is it required Smart Connect enabled in order to have Wifi 6 enabled?

    Hello, I have AiMesh with AX-86U (1 main and 1 node). I split 2.4 & 5ghz into two different SSID xxxx-2.4 & xxxx-5ghz. It's been reliable AiMesh, Wifi .. Does splitting 2.4/5Ghz to two different SSID make WiFi6 not working (as I heard Wifi6 needs both 2.4 & 5Ghz to work)? Do i need to enable...

    Improving coverage at home

    My best experience is to mesh with two identical Router/AP. AX86U is my favorite and been running 2.5 years, stock firmware, keep everything simple as it is Wifi and Internet gateway and do not attach anything to these like USB storage device to the routers ..etc.. keep it simple and it runs...

    Solved Slow Speeds AX86U

    for the faulty radios, is there any possible way to determine it is radio issue? This seems to take a quiet effort to discover rather than just turn off this and that. so after few reset and things are not looking good, just straight to RMA, save time!

    Is it safe to have a strong Wifi router next to you? AX86U RF 1000mw/m2

    YES and YES - since I moved it off where it was previously located, I feel less inflammation totally! If everyone tries , please setup a router like AX86U within 3 feet next or over the head of you - about 2-4 weeks you would feel it...it took me 24 months until I said enough to move it...
