    RT-AC68U constant disconnects in AiMesh environment

    Hi Jason, ahh, that sounds very plausible... do you use wireless only as well or do you have a wired backhaul? Anyway I just tried that with one of the devices: Made sure (i.e. flashed the devices) that the AiMesh router and node both have Merlin firmware Set Administration\Service-Enable SSH...

    RT-AC68U constant disconnects in AiMesh environment

    Alright, so after some weeks of trial and error with different combinations I guess my combination of devices just can't handle AI Mesh - at least without LAN backhaul. Because whenever I add just one mesh node, the connection seems good but there are a couple of times during the day when the...

    [DSL-AC68U] AsusWrt Merlin builds for DSL routers

    Thanks, but my question can be ignored :) as mentioned in my original thread (RT-AC68U constant disconnects in AiMesh environment) I was just doing it wrong. Adding the DSL-AC68U as AiMesh node works like a charm by simply resetting the node to defaults and then searching it from the AiMesh...

    RT-AC68U constant disconnects in AiMesh environment

    *facepalm* I was so fixated on that welcome setup which usually comes on other routers (RT AC68U) after reseting to factory defaults. The assistant lets you select the operation mode (AP, mesh router, mesh node, media bridge) and obviously doesn’t really change anything when you select mesh node...

    RT-AC68U constant disconnects in AiMesh environment

    I can only find settings to act as primary router and add other nodes, not acting as a node :((regardless of GNUton or Asus FW) Asus' FAQ from January 2020 states as well, that only router function is possible, not node https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1039736

    [DSL-AC68U] AsusWrt Merlin builds for DSL routers

    I have installed the lates FW and read in the release notes that Mesh is possible via LAN and wasn‘t sure, if it meant LAN only or Mesh over Wifi was already possible before. How did you configure it @yusufd1? I would need the device to act as a wireless bridge or mesh node but I am not able to...

    RT-AC68U constant disconnects in AiMesh environment

    Managed to flash GNUton now - I always tried with the FW restauration tool which couldn‘t find the DSL router. Putting the device into recovery mode, configuring my notebook LAN IP as described on the restauration support page and simply browsing to 192.168.1.1 (CFE miniWeb Server) did the...

    RT-AC68U constant disconnects in AiMesh environment

    Unfortunately the first impression was too good - I again had noticeable disconnects in the last week. So now I'm trying to go step by step and see if I can get GNUton on the DSL device. The main RT AC68u is already reinstalled, but I'm not sure if I understand the instructions about checking...

    RT-AC68U constant disconnects in AiMesh environment

    The device still says DSL: Since Monday I haven't noticed any disconnects. I will try today with some extensive copy jobs to/from my NAS but maybe the settings already did the trick. I remember, that I tried a while with the FW restoration tool but had no luck and ended up patching the RT...

    RT-AC68U constant disconnects in AiMesh environment

    Thank you already for the first hints! The change was, that the AiMesh node was moved from cellar to 2nd floor and the DSL-AC68U was bought and installed as bridge in the cellar. Doing that I updated/reseted all firmwares but didn't log, which firmwares were in use beforehand (but could only...

    RT-AC68U constant disconnects in AiMesh environment

    Hello! I'm getting a little desparate. Since I changed some things in my network environment I can't seem to get a stable WiFi connection. Following setup: Cable box by ISP - all routing/wifi functions deactivated, it only provides cable internet via LAN ports RT-AC68U_white (Asuswrt-Merlin...
