I can do one node wired, and another will likely be wireless. Holy hell this is confusing.

Can I bump this ancient post? I'm in the same boat with owning an ax88u router and looking to expand to a mesh network. Thinking about the xt8's and the ax92u's, but it's unclear to me which is the better option with the ax88u. Both are tri-band nodes connecting to my dual band router. Other...

That wasn't my point. My point was this: "It's unclear at this time whether existing Wi-Fi 6 hardware will be able to access the new spectrum once approved. In terms of physical design, existing hardware is more than likely OK—the antenna design to transmit and receive 5GHz should also work...

So my brand new RT-AX88U is potentially outdated already. So much for future proofing.

Ok a few hours in and getting the same issues with freezing and unable to connect when streaming. This old RT-AC55U is going to the recyclers. Too bad the signal strength was great having both of them up. Maybe I’ll get a ax mesh node when they get cheaper.

OK both router and AP share the same SSID now so I don't really know what everything is connecting to, but it seems to let me roam well. I'll keep it running for a bit and if I notice the same failures I was getting before I'll just stick with the router's signal.

It seems like using it as access point would be better then mesh though no? I mean it's a wire connected vs a wireless one. I just don't know if the router handles the multicasting or if the access point would be responsible for that in some way.

I replaced my RT-AC55U with the RT-AX88U today. I couldn’t handle the multi casting issues with the AC55. The AX88 seems pretty good so far, obviously a pretty big step forward, but I’m wondering if it makes sense to convert my old AC55 to an AP for even better range upstairs. My AX88 is...
