I'm going to call this a tie! Darn! That means that I have to make this momentous decision!

I decided to purchase an AX88U to use as the main router in a very large house. I had previously purchased a couple of refurbished AC86U's to use as nodes in a new AiMesh network. However, I'm concerned about them being refurbished and am returning them before I open the boxes. It was my...

Why thank you, sir! I enjoy a bit of humor from time to time. That makes me very happy to hear. I will learn from your experience and try the same approach. Or trying to get an appointment for a Covid-19 test on a state, county or CVS website when none of them are working due to overload...

Yes sir, my four TM-AC1900's have been set up as one router and three access points with OEM firmware. I have a total of (8) SSID's set up: Each router/AP has an SSID for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. They work great other than the client switching. I have made sure that the clients are on...

That's great information and also very generous of you to share your notes. I'll look them over. THANKS!

Thank you my older brother - I appreciate that info. I have 90 days to make up my mind, so I can play around with one of them for a bit.

Since these are refurbs, there was a new SN label over the bottom of the original label on each unit. I used a flat razor blade to peel one of them back without damage. It said "Year of Manufacture 2019". Even though that's good news, I think I've gotten cold feet about them. As for the...

I'm not sure when they were made and I'm concerned. I will likely send them back. It's only a few dollars more for new ones. Since the main router needs to be the most powerful, I am strongly considering buying one AX88U as the main router since it has the 1.8Ghz quad CPU and 1Gb RAM. Then I'll...

Thank you, sir, for the detailed answer. I hope that most of the portable wifi devices in my house will handle the automatic node-switching without any trouble. Unfortunately, I've read posts from people who say that, even with AIMesh, some clients try to hang onto a weaker node for WAY too...

I currently have (4) T-Mobile TM-AC1900 routers all connected by ethernet Cat6. I've had these old routers for years and love them. They give me the coverage and speed I want and have not given me any trouble. I have given each router it's own SSID so that I can tell which one to use in various...
