    Is AiMesh Working Correctly?

    No problem. I just checked my RT-AC68U which is dual band too and it only uses the higher bands so I am thinking the 3100 is the same but maybe someone can verify

    Is AiMesh Working Correctly?

    Okay I think I figured it out. So your RT-AC5300 is a triband router which I have myself also and it uses the 5ghz-2 and 5ghz-1 but your RT-AC3100 is only dual band and only uses the higher band for 5ghz. So it’s working as intended I believe. The best way to test it, is setup one of the...

    Is AiMesh Working Correctly?

    If you go to the iamesh then click on one of the iameshes and then click management -> radios. Is 5ghz-1 turned on?

    What are those devices? Are those nodes???? They should connect to the 5ghz-2/dwb network. Clients should use the lower band of the 5ghz

    Take a screenshot of your WiFi settings and your smart connect settings if you can

    is your dwb SSID the same as your other 5ghz band name? That would be the only explanation or you have smart connect turned on with 2 triband routers with Ethernet connection to each other and the WiFi backhaul is not being used but instead the Ethernet.

    The DWB band is the backhaul band for the nodes/iameshes. U need to connect your devices to the regular SSID that is shared between the 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands if u want to use smart connect.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 Beta is now available

    I tried it and it seems like it will not resolve DNS with a love DNS server. The last released firmware works as attended but the new alpha and beta I have problems with dns resolving. RT-AC5300

    Smart Connect RSSI/5ghz to 2.4ghz Issue

    So I did a little more research and I guess I misunderstood how smart connect works. Once a device is connected to 5ghz it won’t band steer to 2.4ghz unless it disconnects 1st. I thought it would do it seamlessly once the wireless signal was weak on the 5ghz. This is the answer I got from ASUS.

    Smart Connect RSSI/5ghz to 2.4ghz Issue

    So I have a long house so 2300sq but the main ap can’t reach the garage or outside backyard. The main router is in the basement and can cover most of the house. The other AC5300 is in the garage, so they are spaced out well. Devices do switch between nodes very well with no drops unless I turn...

    Smart Connect RSSI/5ghz to 2.4ghz Issue

    Hi, I am trying to get Smart Connect to have my devices switch from the 5GHz to the 2.4GHz once they get to around -70dbm to provide better coverage in farther rooms. I have 2 RT-AC5300s one is connected via the 5GHz-2 Backhaul. It seems like it does not matter what I put in the RSSI/dbm field...
