    Is there a way to reboot AIMesh Nodes remotely?

    I did all of those things... Even had Asus tech-support walk me through each of those steps twice -- the router still refused to see the AP when I would tell it to find nodes to add to the AIMesh network... I finally downgraded the firmware -- it had upgraded itself on both the router and the...

    Keep my MacBook connected to my Router, not an AIMesh Node...

    I thought the client couldn't do the switching because the AIMesh network acts as if it is a single network -- there is only one SSID. Well, two, technically -- one for 2.4GHz and one for 5GHz. But there aren't separate SSIDs for each node -- so the client would have no idea which node it's...

    Keep my MacBook connected to my Router, not an AIMesh Node...

    It should work -- assuming the Asus AIMesh network software doesn't allow switching from the router to a node on the Guest network... The Mac is no longer set to connect to the other SSID, so it definitely won't go back to the old network that I know allows switching... So it's all up to the...

    Keep my MacBook connected to my Router, not an AIMesh Node...

    Well!! Learn something new every day! I just created a new Guest network and I can access everything on my network through it. We'll see if that keeps it from switching. That'd be fantastic if this works! Thanks! L.

    Keep my MacBook connected to my Router, not an AIMesh Node...

    Fourth paragraph, first sentence: So, yes, I have tried that... It doesn't seem to do anything... Apparently it's only to prevent roaming directly from one node to another, not to prevent roaming from the router to a node. And, yes, I can prevent my computer from searching for a "new"...

    Keep my MacBook connected to my Router, not an AIMesh Node...

    Unfortunately, the Guest network cannot see the other devices on my network, and I need to be able to use those devices for my file shares and printers... But thanks for the suggestion... L.

    Is there a way to reboot AIMesh Nodes remotely?

    I did this once -- I removed my node, intending to add it back because I wanted to change a few things I did in the initial setup. My router positively *refused* to find that node ever again. I had to change the node to the previous version of its firmware -- and the router, too -- before...

    Is there a way to reboot AIMesh Nodes remotely?

    Forgive my ignorance -- there's an app? I'll definitely have to go check it out -- thanks for mentioning it.

    Oh -- how did I miss that before. Derp. Thanks! It worked perfectly!!

    Is there a way to reboot AIMesh Nodes remotely?

    Interesting... How do I know what my node's IP address is, so I can log into it with my SSH client?

    Is there a way to reboot AIMesh Nodes remotely?

    So, the only way I know of to reboot my AIMesh Node is to physically unplug it from power and wait a few seconds, then plug it back in. (Or press the power-switch on it so it turns off, then wait a bit, and press it again to turn it back on.) My router can be rebooted by simply logging in to...

    Keep my MacBook connected to my Router, not an AIMesh Node...

    So I have an Asus RT-AC88U router, with an RP-AC1900 access point being used as an AIMesh Node... Where I happen to sit while I work at home is located directly between the two, and my MacBook Pro is constantly switching between them. 4 or 5 times a day, it decides to switch, and every time it...
