    86U + 88U or dual AXE11000

    Thanks for the level set! You’re probably right! We will eventually have fewer devices in our household soonish as well so that will be less of an issue I suppose. And to be sure, I was looking at the ZenWifi Pro ET12 AXE11000 2pk. At some point it will be nice to take advantage of wifi 6…

    86U + 88U or dual AXE11000

    Found a similar thread but being selfish and asking for a more focused comparison. Been running with a pretty stable Aimesh AX86U + AX88U setup (wired back haul) on a 1gig fiber plan. My ISP now offers 2+ gig plans for not very much more so I’m wondering about upgrading to take advantage of...

    Release ASUS RT-AX88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.20558 (2022/09/21)

    Is it possible to reset without losing configuration? I.e. ssid, passwords, etc Would issues with an AX88u set up as a ai mesh node pass to the entire network? (AX86u via wired backhaul) We might be experiencing some of those iOS connection issues and I would hate to have to reset all my...

    Mobile gaming: single AP or mesh?

    I decided to not let that router sit in its box for a month and hooked it up via the Aimesh wired backhaul function. This is ok. why-not-both.png you-didnt-see-anything.jpg

    Mobile gaming: single AP or mesh?

    Bump in this in case anyone sees it. I'm getting ready to sell my AX88U. Is there any reason why I should keep that over the AX86U vs. sell to recoup some of the cost? So far the AX86U has been great. No complaints (yet). Only issue is having less ports to work with (but I have a gigabit...

    Mobile gaming: single AP or mesh?

    Alrighty—it's a christmas miracle! I somehow got a unit and it's en route. I'll give it a shot! If it doesn't improve... I'll sell both and go back to the Costco router! Bah-humbug. Speaking of, is there a good resource here on the site for networking gear buy/sell best practices? Feels kind...

    Mobile gaming: single AP or mesh?

    Well shucks, I was afraid that would be the case, ha. Alright I'll keep an eye out! They all seem to be extremely overpriced due to lack of supply. In the meantime I'll happily wait for the inevitable argument for another option that will likely result in more second guessing. Thank you!

    Mobile gaming: single AP or mesh?

    Back again with a more specific question. Happy to close it if it's too close to other threads, but I'm hoping this serves useful for those with wireless/mobile gaming related asks in the future. tl;dr: is a single AP better than a 2-3 point mesh kit for reducing latency/ping specifically for...

    AX88U reboot auto-upgraded, can I still flash?

    Thank you so much! It worked! Life's short and we are all going to die eventually so I figured I should just try it. Plus, Bestbuy is still open nearby. I'm now looking into Cake configurations and having a blast.

    AX88U reboot auto-upgraded, can I still flash?

    Bit of a merlin noob here, but dangerous enough to get things configured correctly. As the title suggests, I was ready to flash and did a GUI reboot which upgraded my AX88U to 3.0.0.4.386_45898-gfa90458. Will I be ok flashing the file labeled "RT-AX88U_386.3_2_cferom_ubi.w"? Or do I have to...
