That is definitely plan B. I was hoping to avoid having to buy two switches. The other possibility is trying to pull an additional cable to each room, but with my luck I will get it half way pulled and then it won't pull any more. hahaha

Ok, so let me see if I can clarify. I have attached a diagram, which despite my lack of artistic skills, I hope will help. The big issue is the iMac and NAS are not in the same room. I want to connect them via a 10Gbe connection and use the iMac's and NAS's original gigabit ethernet ports to...

Ok, so I want to run a 10GbE connection between a 2019 iMac and a QNAP NAS. My home office, where the iMac is only has one CAT 6 Ethernet jack, which currently runs to a router, from which I connect to the iMac with another CAT 6 cable. Same story for the NAS, which is in my media room. Only...

Just an update, I have just the Ax92s running and so far so good. I left 1 where it was on the main floor as there is an large open space to the bonus room upstairs, I put the other one at the back of the house on the second floor. Both are hardwired for the backhaul. I added an 8 port switch...

Thanks for all the advice. It is much appreciated. Time for some experimenting!

Thanks. I can connect all with Ethernet, fortunately. I think I might try and go without the 5300 (it’ll still sell for a fair bit) if the wifi performance is good then I’ll sell it.

Haha! It’s like you’re reading my mind! Any opinion on making the 5300 the main router? I’m not sure how the mix of AC and AX routers works in a Mesh. I’m assuming AX devices still take advantage of AX speeds?

My plan was to have the GT-5300 as the main router (it seems to have the better hardware specs (1GB ram vs 512), then put 1 ax92 in the upstairs bonus room and one on the main floor at the back of the house. That would form basically a triangle between the 3 and souls improve my coverage...

Part of the issue is router that will run the Mesh is on the main level and if you imagine a box the location is in the top left (about 10 O’Clock - this router runs a PS4 and Nintendo Switch for an emerging online gamer). The second router is on the second level and also along the left wall...

I was running the 5300 and 68u and had some major dead spots. I have a cable ISP 600Mbps down with about 20Mbps up. I’m just not sure how it works. If you make the 92u the router does it “waste” the functionality of the 5300? My understanding with Mesh is you want the most powerful one to be...

Hello to you all, I have 4 Asus routers, an ROG 5300, two brand new Ax92u and an older Ac68u. The question I have is which should be the router the 5300 or the 92u in a Mesh setup? I have a 2 story house with a finished basement. All totalled about 4100sqft-ish. I welcome any advice.

RMerlin, first let me say thank you so much for developing this awesome adaptation! It is truly excellent. I would also like to thank you for taking the time to weigh in on this and report that making the file executable did the trick. Sorry for being so noobish... janosek, I'd like to thank...

I just tried to run the wan-start using ./wan-start in the /jffs/scripts/ directory but it returned a Permission denied error...any thoughts? Do I need to turn permissions on somewhere?

Neilh, I am far from an authority but I believe I followed the process correctly. That said, I don't have selective routing working...Here is the process that I followed. 1. You need to tweak the script I posted earlier in this thread to reflect the IP you want to route. 2. Copy that script...

Pachocco1 I put the script into firewall-start as you suggested and rebooted a couple of times but with no luck. Everything is still being routed through the VPN...grrrrr. I am at my wits end. This wouldn't have anything to do with running 3.0.0.4.354.27 would it? *Grasping at straws* P.s...
