    AiMesh Nightmare on RT-BE88U

    I'm just happy the darned thing works now. LOL! Only time will tell how it holds up but so far so good. I've bounced the two nodes earlier this morning and they came back up and all devices I expected to see connected to each node connected without problems. Even the outdoor light bulb at the...

    AiMesh Nightmare on RT-BE88U

    I did not measure RSSI while the issue was happening but I currently have about -40dBm on average for each network on average.

    AiMesh Nightmare on RT-BE88U

    I've tried that before, didn't work. Some 2.4Ghz clients even just momentarily visible on the network eventually dropped off. Binding them to either the main router or two nodes didn't make a difference. Power cycling them would sometimes get them to reconnect but only temporarily. Eventually...

    AiMesh Nightmare on RT-BE88U

    Okay guys, it appears the issue has been resolved but the solution isn't what I or anyone would probably have expected. Here's out it went: I swapped the two identical nodes' location. Basement > Garage, Garage > Basement. Powered up nodes but both still showed the SAME connected clients as...

    AiMesh Nightmare on RT-BE88U

    I've though about that but just dreading having to take Garage off the wall. ☺️ I'll swap them tomorrow morning and post the results. Thanks again to everyone for chiming in!

    AiMesh Nightmare on RT-BE88U

    I know - I'm losing my mind already. lol I basicallly have two networks being broadcast on the nodes. One 2.4Ghz set to isolated for Iot devices that only take 2.4 such as bulbs, smart plugs and vacuum robots. And another 5Ghz on the main subnet (not isolated) for cameras that take 5Ghz so I...

    AiMesh Nightmare on RT-BE88U

    I can only lower 2.4 power on the Main. Wireless>Professional>Tx power adjustment. I've tried all values on the slider - none worked. Not sure however if the slider also changes power on the nodes. Unlikely. Main RSSI for both are about -50dBm at the borrom of the staircase leading to the...

    AiMesh Nightmare on RT-BE88U

    My apologies for the lack of info - I was trying to avoid having you guys read a novel. :) Main: RT-BE88U (Merlin 3006.102.5) Garage: RT-AX55 (Asus 3.0.0.4.386_53266) Basement: RT-AX55 (Asus 3.0.0.4.386_53266) I've tried most (if not all) the steps you've mentioned to no avail. Any...

    AiMesh Nightmare on RT-BE88U

    Hello everyone, I'm hoping to get some insight from you all about this rather bizarre issue I'm having. The problem only happens to 2.4Ghz and NOT 5Ghz. Main: RT-BE88U (latest Merlin FW) Garage: RT-AX55 (latest Asus FW) Basement: RT-AX55 (latest Asus FW) I originally only had Main and Garage...

    YazFi YazFi on BE88U

    The BE88U's UI for the network set up is quite intuitive and I like it a lot. I run two instances of AdGuard VMs as DNS, just like the PiHole. What I miss however is being able to point IoT devices on a VLAN to the DNS sitting in my main network - something YazFi was able to do. I know I can...

    YazFi YazFi on BE88U

    Thanks for pointing to the right thread! You're right, it doesn't seem like YazFi will work on the BE models. I didn't think it would but I thought I'd ask anyway. 😁

    YazFi YazFi on BE88U

    Hello everyone, I've recently replaced an AXE16000 (it died) with a BE88U. I used YazFi on the previous router and was wondering if I can set it up on the new one, given that the UI for setting up the network/WiFi is quite different. Thank you very much!
