note that the EBM68 in the family does have bonding / link aggregation (I believe on port 3&4):

SDN setup. Note that it doesnt ever show the "main" SSID on this screen, only the add-on networks. I have wifi specified only for them but could in theory use vlan seperation mapped to ports of the router itself or using one of the expertwifi managed switches.

I am running expertwifi with a DSL-AX82u as a node (hard wired). Happy to test with what I have if I can help. I can confirm: Stability - good. havent noticed any issues (even using smartconnect across tri-band). Only thing I dont use is auto-reboot as it sometimes drops the connection to the...

Awesome, thanks this also worked for me. Running a RT-AC86U node off a RT-AX88U main

Can confirm - the same behaviour with both the official and the merlin fw. The router by itself has all its channels. Add an AIMesh node and it loses the ability to select anything higher than 48. No real idea why except that the router and node are different regions. One interesting thing...

So after some experimenting it seems that I lose the ability to select the additional channels as soon as I add the AIMesh node. I assume that is because my router is an EU one and my Node is Asia/AU. I can live with it - at least I know when it is happening. On a side note I was unable to...

hmm - so I flashed to the latest Beta official firmware and have channels back. I am about to do a factory reset so I can connect this other node, then will try Merlin's again.

Another thing that may or may not be related - my ring cameras will no longer connect to the 2.4ghz net on the side of the house that has the ax88u, but my ac86u node has a strong 2.4 signal. I am using the same channel and settings as I had on my AC86U. I now need to go through my wireless...

understood @RMerlin - not trying to change the region as that is what I get for buying a unit second hand. what I am trying to do is work out why I cant see U-NII-2c. I was hoping it was a config error on my part but my research hasnt come up with anything obvious. I do need to do a full...

ok thanks - yeah the 160 makes no difference. I will try the restoration and hope that works. Will let you know the outcome

Hi all, Have a bit of a strange one. I recently bought a second hand AX88U, which I have set as a primary AIMesh router, replacing my AC86U. The 86U is now the secondary node, connected via a ethernet backhaul. The AX88u only has a very limited set of channels available to select on 5g (36-48...

leaving this here for future reference as I just had the same question: [Wireless] Does DSL-AC68U support the AiMesh node? | Official Support | ASUS Global TLDR: no it doesnt support ethernet because it doesnt have a dedicated WAN port.

I only see "DNS-Over-TLS (DOT)" as an option; is this the one?

I have Nord setup on our AC-86U, working fine. I set DNS to "Disabled" and use OpenDNS in the WAN config. Additionally I do have some DNS filtering setup; a couple of devices that are set up to go through Nord's Smart DNS (specifically the smart tvs). Note that in DNS filtering I have the...

Hi all, random question: is policy based routing working in this version, or should I go to a different one for that to work (using NordVPN) Edit, NVM - it is working correctly; I just didnt have enough patience for the settings change to kick in!
