Sorry to hear it’s not working for you. FWIW, I have: RT-AC1750 B1 on Merlin 386.7_2 AC68U firmware as AiMesh router RT-AC66U B1 on Stock 386_49703 as AiMesh node with wired backhaul Guest is set up very much like yours, 5 GHz only. Access Intranet is set to disable. Guest network is working...

My current configuration is also not experiencing any issues. Asus RT-AC1750 B1 on Merlin 386.5_2 AC68U (AiMesh router) Asus RT-AC66U B1 on Stock 386_48262 (AiMesh node) Guest 1, wired backhaul, intranet access disabled

Great to hear that Merlin is working on both main and node.

That’s too bad - I was about to go from Merlin 386.4 to 386.5 on my main AiMesh with a node running stock FW. However I’m still on AC models and not AX. Is anyone else losing guest network functionality with 386.5?

Asus rolled stock FW 386.46065 on RT-AC68U. Interesting change list item: Since this is on stock FW which works as the node, I haven’t tested what this is.

For the LAN (not guest) I’m not using 192.168.50.x, but I’m using the 10.x.x.x range. And I have no issues with the guest network.

Merlin 386.4 is using GPL 386_45958, so that should be close enough for it to work. I’ve been using it this way with my node running stock FW since OEM 43129.

From the wiki itself: I guess now there are two limitations. https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/AiMesh

You only need Asus FW on the node, not the router. I haven’t come up with a really good reason to need Merlin FW on the node, except maybe to schedule the node LED lights in a bedroom, which is better than the all or nothing toggle in the AiMesh menu. But there are mechanical solutions to dim...

FWIW - My own experience with 386.4 on RT-AC1750 B1 (same as RT-AC66U B1) using the AC68U FW has been rock solid with a mix of g, n and ac clients on both bands. It’s an AiMesh router with a AiMesh node (RT-AC66U B1) running stock FW. I manually pick my channels with 20 Hz and 80 Hz widths in...

I used to manually set up a tagged VLAN as a guest network with this same unmanaged switched. It would work for a while, but sporadically it wouldn’t (couldn’t get a guest IP), and I always thought maybe it was because of the cheap consumer switch. But then I bypassed the switch and still had...

Testing my setup again, but now on Merlin 386.4 and measuring eth0 with vnstat 2.0.4. It started out fairly promising, but over a period of time the rx and tx started to converge. Very bizarre. I’ll keep experimenting but I may have to switch to monitoring vlan1.
