Hi Merlin,
Is it possible you can create a Lite firmware for the AX88U? Remove all the unnecessary features and just basic routing capabilities. Remove many GUI options and Remove AiMesh, Remove all advanced features, and keep it to a minimum where the random disconnects are ceased and no more...
I have tried both regular DNS provided by xfinity and setup openDNS on ASUS and still get the red light of death on WAN. I'm unable to Disable DHCP truly on xfinity Xfi gigabit speed router since they have it blocked. I would love to make my Asus router the DHCP but would not even get involved...
Today its weird happening after 2 days. The NVR camera system connected directly to the xfinity router/modem is working. Xfinity Router has 2.4 and 5ghz disabled since im using my asus mesh router. The ASUS mesh router with DHCP disabled (not the 2 nodes) is showing the red light. Im unable to...
I'm having similar issue with my 3 Asus AX88U. My 2 backhaul mode Mesh routers are not connecting after a factory reset this just happened recently and one thing I noticed is that when I reset the button on the back, Mesh mode is not on the list on "Advanced Settings" when it reboots. I have to...
Doing it from the first setup page wizard I had issues too with stock and merlin loaded.
What I did to fix this was.
All resets and setups are all ethernet hard wired from PC to routers. Don't do anything wifi. Make sure you use the LAN ports not the WAN for pc to router connections. Do not...
Aimesh nodes are updated on master router, added on update site for all routers.
You can unmesh them for updates or change to asus stock for updating them.
Nodes must be on stock to use them as mesh-nodes
Having the node as standard ASUSWRT does not effect the additional Merlin options...

How does the AX88U router compared to the Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR700 AD7200 ? That one is $500, I want to buy 2 Ax88U since I don't have any wifi routers in my new home at the moment.
I wanted to link them by cat6a cable across the home to reduce loss and be full throughput. The...
Makes a lot of sense. There might be even issues or fixes needed with the AX88U. I don't think he needs lots of band bandwidth, if anything max 10-15 devices using the internet. 3-4 phones, 2 computers, 4 TVs, etc. Do you recommed the AC88U over the AC86U? Price wise won't bother him, its more...
doczenith,
My brother has a big house and wanted to get 4 routers (AC5300) for the 4 corners of his home. He has cat6a in all rooms and living areas. Big house with corner to corner I would say 150+ feet in "U" shaped structure, so he can't have nothing in the middle of the home.
XB6 Xfinity...
