    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    I have concluded Roaming Assistant doesn't work the same way in 386 as it did in 384. No matter what RSSI threshold have set and tested, from -55 to -78, the log messages to roam a client are far and few between. Many of my IoT devices get stuck on the wrong node - even when there is a node...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    I use iOS, but this earlier post talks about how to use a script in jffs for persistence BTW binding works with more than 9 devices now.

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Can understand your concern. I don't use it outside my network. There are a number of things different on the iOS app vs. web browser. I like how the iOS app shows which devices are connected to which node, which band, and current network traffic speeds. It presents Family management of...

    Main Router LED can be changed on/off in the iOS app, but doesn’t show up in web interface like nodes

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Let’s start with my house has 4 levels including a basement. I live near the Gulf of Mexico. My house has one ft reinforced concrete walls and steel beams. You can’t look at sq ft alone. It’s one factor. If I went to the website and typed that in it would say I need one router. I have one main...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    I disagree - it's designed and planned appropriately. I can't control the WiFi drivers on the devices and how they react when they see multiple APs with the same SSID. I walk my floor plan with scanning tools and have to deal with a medium density neighborhood where you get other traffic from...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    I am not convinced that Roaming Assistant works as well in 386 as it did in 384. I have tried different RSSI threshold triggers and don't see the system move clients as efficiently as in 384. Binding in 386 is a way to get clients to the appropriate node quickly. In my environment I have...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    I ran into this same limit and shared the feedback. I would like to be able to bind more then 9 clients.

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    In RC2-8 it changed to ‘Ethernet Only’ when you enable Ethernet Backhaul. I have wired Ethernet backhaul and turning it on in AiMesh 2.0 seems to make WiFi clients faster than with it off or with AiMesh 1.0. The nodes seem to keep a connection via WiFi and allocate bandwidth in case the...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    Did you change your 5 Ghz Roaming Assistant trigger? I'm getting closer to your -55 on 2.4. Curious where you are on 5 Ghz.

    Asus Auto Update Experiences

    Good to know - I don't recall having an issue with OUI lookup, but maybe the device manufacturers were already cached with the MAC addresses on my network before I ran the line of code. I personally don't want to block the auto upgrade now since my device is working well and I often manually...

    Asus Auto Update Experiences

    I successfully used this method for about a year to prevent the web interface and iOS app from nagging me to update the firmware on my RT-AC86U. The reason I didn't update past a certain level was process crashes on new versions past that point. ASUS finally updated the stock firmware in a way...

    Asus Auto Update Experiences

    If you block the firmware check does it prevent the autoupdate? I successfully ran this at boot in the past on my RT-AC86U when I didn't want the router to check for new versions. It just adds a line to /etc/host s to have the router send the lookup to localhost instead of the Asus server...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC2 public beta with full functions AiMesh 2.0

    I have a main RT-AC86U router and three RT-AC1900P nodes running RC2-7 and it's very stable. I am using Ethernet backhaul with two nodes plugged directly into the main router LAN ports and the third node goes through an unmanaged switch. I could not use Ethernet backhaul when two nodes were...

    ASUS RT-AC66U B2 AiMesh issues

    @ASUSWRT_2020 Can you please use icons to show the WiFi band and quality of the connection in the web version of AiMesh info similar to the iOS app? Web: iOS:
