Can you disable wifi on only one node of your mesh on a schedule?

I managed to solve it. Flashed the plain vanilla Asus Firmware to the router and did a factory reset. Only after these two did the contents of the Topology page reappear. Doing a factory reset on Merlin did not do the trick. Neither did any other combination of flashing and/or resetting.

Like the title says, I'm trying to setup an Asus AiMesh with my RT-AC86U being the master but when I access the Topology tab I get an empty page. First time I tried with the latest Merlin FW 386.11. Then I tried, 386.10, 386.7_2, 386.5_2... same thing. I tried reset to factory settings with all...

Found it. nvram set sw_mode=1 After that, restart the router and there's only some minor reconfiguration required: WLAN SSIDs and LAN IP. That's all.

Wouldn't that require me to reconfigure everything on the router from scratch? I'm really trying to avoid that.

Can someone help me switch my Asus RT-AC86U back from repeater mode to router mode through shell commands? I am able to ssh into my router but I cannot access the graphical web user interface. That's why I need to switch back through shell. Much appreciated!

Thanks for the tip @RMerlin! I was just looking at SanDisk Cruzer Extreme 64GB, USB 3.0, that reads with 245 MB/s and writes with 190 MB/s. But now that you mentioned Kingston's DataTraveler Ultimate, I found Kingston HyperX Savage, 64GB, USB 3.1/3.0, that reads with 350 MB/s and writes with 180...

@mattiL, you were right. Write speeds on Kingston DTSE9 G2 USB3.0 are $hit. I've just retested my WD Elements on USB 3.0 after turning sendfile off. Copying from my computer sported a decent 40MBps. Interestingly enough, benchmarking with "dd" directly on the router, I ended up with: I must...

That's the one. But I remember it doing much higher speeds when connected to a PC. I haven't tried other sticks. I've tried a 2TB WD Elements external HDD and got slightly better results, about 15MBps write, whereas the same HDD connected to my PC sports a constant 100MBps. I've just managed to...

I have recently bought an RT-AC68U and my USB write speeds are absolutely terrible. I read everything about this I could find on the internet yet I cannot manage to increase them no matter what I try. As you can see in the screenshot below, I'm trying to copy a large file from my Desktop...
