    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    I understand and I might come back in a year or two to try again. But the functions being introduced in the beta are the primary reason I would stay, the stock firmware is insufficient against next best competitor (Orbi in my mind). But no functionality is useful without stability and it seems...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Control over binding of STA to nodes is the core reason. This is an essential function that Orbi does not have nor is Netgear showing any signs of understanding how essential it is. It is needed for a) systems like SONOS that don’t play well when they aren’t all on a single AP/node (and SONOS...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Following up my own, even still too optimistic, post above. After a many more hours wasted today due to the many bizarre instabilities and weird and irrational mesh node automatic reconfigurations that caused failures of the entire mesh, I've decided to return the 4 node CT8 system well before...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Learned a new-to-me behaviour, not sure if it’s current beta only or “normal” modern ASUS router/AP. System is 4 node AP-only CT8 on 30-Dec-2020 beta. Turns out that when you change the wifi password, it also sends the entire system into an infinite wifi recycle loop including to mesh nodes...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Thanks. I am in Canada, not EU, and I’d rather not play more return games regardless as I already have enough drama in my life. If ASUS steps up and delivers a stable and effective product, they’ll have my business and support (I influence everyone around me regarding technology). If they don’t...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    There is no downside to waiting out the 30 days except the handwringing at the end to “trust or not to trust” whether ASUS will get this figured out quickly (“before WiFi 7 stabilizes and we start this cycle again”). I might also be able to solve the guest network issue temporarily by keeping my...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Background: I purchased 4x CT8 units (2x packs) a few days ago as a potential replacement for Orbi RBx50 mesh. Intended use is strictly AP mode all wireless backhaul mesh — I like my routers/firewalls separate and can’t run wires in this environment. Got the basic single SSID setup to work with...
