A little backstory...I re-purposed an old buffalo ac1750 with LEDE firmware playing around with it. I really like their QOS solution using cake and fq_codel, which isn't available on AsusWRT due to the use of an older linux kernel. Problem with it was it was a dual core at 800 Mhz and using QOS...

If I connect to the WAN and turn on DHCP forwarder wouldn't that still work?

Just a general question. I'm running OpnSense as my main router with Merlin on my ac5300 running just for wireless as an AP. Issue I have is when you run in AP mode, you lose features only available in router mode. Can anyone tell me if I can just run wireless router mode and turn off DHCP...

So I understand what you did so I can try the same...you've used smart connect for only your 5Ghz bands instead of all 3 correct? Also, what ssids display with this setup? Is it still only showing one across your home?

I'm also seeing this with my 5300 and 68p (converted 1900).

@arthurlien I understand that. But my node doesn't support that. And Aimesh is supposed to pick the best connection based on connection strength/location rather than connecting to a specific band, or am i off on that? So should Smart connect not be used if in a mesh environment? I'm...

@arthurlien I noticed you said the smart connect doesn't propagate to the node if the node doesn't support it. Can you explain a little more on that? Is it not recommended to use smart connect if the node doesn't support it? Will smart connect affect the dedicated back haul of the triband?

@RMerlin Is that something that can be replaced via warranty?

@RMerlin is that on Broadcom to release a fix or Asus?

Is your ac68 a converted tm1900? I have the same setup and successfully paired the two before going to bed, then when I woke up the next day it was gone, i factory reset both routers and tried to repair them and haven't been successful since...

Has anyone gotten a converted tm-1900 to work with an ac-5300? If so, how with the 5300's cfe encryption?

that's good to hear. Thanks for clearing that up

no stable version in 6 months is a pretty long time compared to the others still receiving support. But it honestly didn't bother me much because I was using Merlin's builds

Thanks @JDB for your insight. Yeah I mentioned that about the beta release and I agree with you. Hoping Merlin can incorporate it, especially with the slow/lack of updates for our model from Asus as it is.

Thank you @pattiri. @RMerlin Can you shed any light on the CPU/Ram. Is that something that should get better as build come along or an expected product of the new code base?
