    Aimesh Ethernet Backhaul not working through switch?

    When I connect ASUS ZenWifi XT8 (3.0.0.4.388_21099) directly through an ethernet cable to an ASUS RT-AC1900P (3.0.0.4.386_49703) Aimesh node, it shows the RT-AC1900P backhaul is using the ethernet connection.

    Link Status / Speed Wan Port Asus Router

    I have an Asus ZenWifi AX (XT8) with the 2.5G WAN port connected to a 10G ONU port. The ONU seems to indicate a link has been established, but the Asus system log has a message which says WAN down. I can see the following messages in the syslog which I assume relate to the LAN ports May 5...

    Using Asus Router behind Provider Router

    Thanks for sharing the link. Very interesting to read. The provider Nuro and the Huawei described is exactly what I am using currently and moving away from. Unfortunately, the password hack described does not work. Likely, Sony has changed the id / password since the article was written.

If you are referring to bridging the...
