    I just want to say the RT-AX56U is a pile of crap...

    I guess I'll run it over the Ethernet backhaul. I don't think this provides any functional difference over just running a wired switch to the actually-working AiMesh node (I'm more concerned about the stuff wired into it than what wifi access it's providing to the rest of my place) but, eh, one...

    I just want to say the RT-AX56U is a pile of crap...

    I did buy it used on eBay, admittedly. I've ridden it as long as I can take it, it'll be getting ripped out and replaced with a 5-port switch (I could just use as an AiMesh node across an Ethernet backhaul but I'm questioning if that's worth it since I feel like the practical reason I use it...

    I just want to say the RT-AX56U is a pile of crap...

    As an AiMesh node in my network this thing barely functions. Devices trying to connect to it get horribly hobbled connections and/or no valid connection period and the wired devices on it are either also randomly crippled or the thing seems to crap out trying to send large amounts of data across...

    I have had my fill of the XT8 ignoring the 5GHz-2 backhaul as an AiMesh node...

    Well it's been a bit and at least for my experience the GT-AX11000 Pro has been rock-solid as the AiMesh root (and I didn't pay full price as I got a previously-opened box on Amazon). None of the nodes have dipped below 5 GHz and, in fact, I would say it's almost too good. Basically everything I...

    I have had my fill of the XT8 ignoring the 5GHz-2 backhaul as an AiMesh node...

    Well I started with only two but that wasn't getting a clean signal either so I was assuming I needed something to bridge the hop between the two nodes. Also at this point, with JUST the root node and literally nothing else, my PC over Wifi 6 only gets around 200 Mb/s (it's in the same place as...

    I have had my fill of the XT8 ignoring the 5GHz-2 backhaul as an AiMesh node...

    I did this based on the belief that the XT8s have crap antennas. This thing has antennas all the way around it so I can't blame the antennas on this one if there are 5GHz drops. The XT8 nodes were about 80 feet away from each other across a couple of walls (they're at opposite ends of a...

    I have had my fill of the XT8 ignoring the 5GHz-2 backhaul as an AiMesh node...

    I did disable the Roaming Assistant thing. That does help but it isn't a consistent solution and it still kicks over to 2.4GHz. Anyway I got myself an AX11000 Pro at the earlier recommendation and will be converting the root XT8 to a satellite node. I had to disable Roaming Assistant on the NEW...

    I have had my fill of the XT8 ignoring the 5GHz-2 backhaul as an AiMesh node...

    What are the notable differences between the AX11000 and its Pro equivalent? I see that it has double the number of LAN ports but besides that they're mostly similar?

    Hm...so you replaced the main node. Problem I'm seeing from that picture is that router lacks some of the stuff I use on my XT8, particularly the VPN server, unless it's stored somewhere else.

    I have had my fill of the XT8 ignoring the 5GHz-2 backhaul as an AiMesh node...

    This problem NEVER goes away and I'm tired of fighting with it. I'm going to attempt a couple more things but I'm also looking forward at this point. Can anyone recommend an alternate router that works well as an AiMesh node? I liked the firmware fidelity I got from the XT8 as an AiMesh node, I...
