I dirty updated from 386.5_2 to 388.2 Beta 1 about 1 week ago. Only issue has been free memory slowly goes down over time without being in the UI (looking at memory usage in the UI). If I reload the blocking list in Diversion, the memory goes back to about 51-53% but will be back up again within...

I had issues updating from 386.3_2 to 386.4 due to usage of AiMesh Guest 1 Network for Ring Doorbells/Spotlights and other IoT "stuff". Connections to the AiMesh Router Guest Network 1 would work successfully, but was not working across the AiMesh Nodes even though it was set to be used across...

Dirty flashed beta 2 over 386.3_2 on Router/AiMesh Nodes (backed up router cfg and jffs first). WiFi was working almost entirely from main router instead of nodes (about 3 clients max connected to each node). Guest Network 1 was working from main router only. AiMesh would not display clients...

I didn't have an AC68U, I started with AC86Us but moved to AX88U AiMesh Router (in basement), AX86U AiMesh Node (1st Level, far end of house), and AX88U AiMesh Node (2nd level, far other end of house). It's overkill but I got to a point where I just wanted it to work for Main WiFi Networks and...

I ran into roadblocks trying to use VLANS on RT-AC86U/RT-AX88U/RT-AX86U. I wanted the separation similar to yours, especially IOT. I instead went with AiMesh Router/AiMesh Nodes configuration and using the 1st Guest for IOT 2.4/5 GHz (which works across Router & Nodes). It just works and made...

I have a similar situation. Longer house on a corner lot. The main reason I went with AiMesh was for Guest networks that can span the AiMesh Nodes for IoT devices. I do see, at times, IoT devices that get "locked" to specific AiMesh Router or AiMesh Nodes. If I walk away for awhile, the IoT...

I have a longer house on a corner lot, so I run more routers to cover off "perceived" signal issues. I have an AX88U at point of presence in the basement that runs as an AiMesh Router with Diversion and Skynet. I have an AX88U AiMesh Node in the Living Room on 1st floor at one end of the house...

2021-01-10 Upgrade Notes Pre-Merlin BETA State: RT-AX88U: HW Ver - A1.1, Production Year - 2019, AiMesh Router, RELEASE ASUS, 386_41249, Location - Basement (Point of Presence) RT-AC86U: HW Ver - R1.5, Production Year - 2018, AiMesh Node, BETA ASUS, 386_41157, Location - Living Room RT-AC86U...

Another vote for a Raspberry Pi, but I would go with a 4 B as the Network and USB are separated and can run at faster speeds. The following could be a potential solution for you: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/kodi/

The 2.4 GHz WiFi is more reliable/stronger signal for 386_41249 on my RT-AX88U. I have been able to run this single WiFi Router for my entire home now. Will likely follow in @LimJK footsteps with 386_41249 on the RT-AX88U and beta 386.41157 on 2 RT-AC86Us to boost signal strength in certain...

On RT-AX88U with Brave browser, Wireless Log page fails to load properly with the entire left nav missing. Have cleared browser cache, but get the same result. F12 Console displays the following error: form_style.css:1 Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TOO_MANY_RETRIES The update from .17 to...

There could be several reasons. First, some questions: 1. What routers are you using (IE: model number, RT-AC86U for example)? 2. Are you manually selecting channels or using Auto? 3. Is this occurring on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or both? 4. What version of Merlin-WRT are you using?

Dirty flash to .17 for AX88U (Router) and 2 AC86U's (AP). Working great for 6+days.

AiProtect shows ZERO items running for months with Diversion and Skynet. Might consider those as an option...

I have an RT-AX88U as primary and 2 RT-AC86Us for APs. I can change them at some point to AiMesh with wired backhaul. I could take 1 or both of the 86Us and make them Routers to manage traffic differently. Nice to have options. I have not had the experience of some with WiFi issues on 384.15...
