    Expand XT12 system with a node to get a network port in the garage

    Expand XT12 system with a node to get a network port in the garage

    Thanks for the answers. There is no need for any particular high Mbps speeds. It is fo connecting my battery to the eletrical grid, so the grid owner can use the battery to balance the grid, which i will get paid for. So do you have a good tip on what node i should buy and run in media bidge...

    Expand XT12 system with a node to get a network port in the garage

    Hi, I have a pair of Asus XT12 at home, now I need to expand with a node to get a network port in my garage. I am looking at a cheaper dual-band model and just want to check if this is ok or if it will create any bottlenecks in the system? Or should i buy a tri band router? So the XT12 is...

    AiMesh HW combination?

    @L&LD After hours of testing i ended up selecting 2 x 86S a few days ago. It covers my needs and I didn see that much performance differences to motivate the big price difference. But now something seem to have happened... Speed when connected to the node have degraded... However when...

    Measured speed on 86S AiMesh setup with all routers on then turned off all routers except the two 86S. Both measurments on PC was 135-145Mbps. No difference.

    AiMesh HW combination?

    Hi, Yes I have the routers on at the same time, too lazy ;) But I am the only one in my area with 5ghz network. I see that the new routers in mesh use the same band, but the old setup uses two different bands. Is that better? Is this too crowded? It is possible that one router could cover...

    AiMesh HW combination?

    Thanks for the good answer @L&LD! My home is 1600SqFt. But I also have a garage and another building at my garden that I want to have coveragein. So I am guessing it would be around 2700SqFt that needs coverage. The main router will be placed in one far end of the house, away from the garage...
