    AiMesh Node fails to install

    I have rt-ax86u as my primary router. Was trying to setup an rt-ac86u as an aimesh node. Primary has Merlin 300.388.4 installed and the node has Merlin 386.12 installed. I factory reset the ac86u and powered it on - placing it within 8 feet of ax86u. There were no cables (other than power)...

    Missing SSID on AIMesh node

    I have a pair of RT-AX68U both running 386.7_2 configured as an AIMesh with a Wireless backhaul. Backhaul connection is Good. I have 3 SSIDs configured: gnmnet, gnmguest, gnmdevs. The latter 2 are guest SSIDs. However looking at the network with InSSIDer it appears that the mesh node is only...

    RT-AC66U B1, FW 386.9 > Can't get AiMesh to work

    Hi there. I had to do a reset on my home network - decided to restart fresh. I have 2 identical RT-AC66U B1 router. I had AiMesh setup before - I've set it up about 1.5 years ago - I can't remember which FW I had at the time, but it was an earlier version. Now, no matter what I try, it doesn't...

    Can't find AiMesh nodes with new AX86 router

    I just installed a new RT-AX86S as my main router, replacing an RT-AC86U. I want to use the older router as an AiMesh node. I also have an old RT-AC68U that's been in service as an AiMesh node. All three are running latest rMerlin firmware (386.7_2). I've tried any number of times following...

    Update AiMesh over WAN?

    Is there anyway to update an AiMesh node's firmware over wan? I manage my parent's wifi over wan, and am able to update the main router just fine, but I'm not sure how to update the firmware of a node remotely. Every time I try to upload the firmware, it tries to access the node's management via...

    Remove Router and Node From AiMesh 2.0

    I have run AiMesh with an Ethernet backhaul for some months now, first on ASUS official, then with Merlin once it was available for my routers. In this time, I have seen about 3 devices ever connect to the node. Mostly the node is empty, bereft of any device. Sometime, if I toggle the backhaul...

    Best practices for upgrading AIMesh master & nodes?

    I had a hell of a time recovering my routers when upgrading from 384.13 to 384.15. I have an 86U and a 68U (aimesh node). I won’t recount all the steps I had to take to get AIMesh working again but suffice it to say at least one chicken was sacrificed. I recovered to 384.14_2. And being a...

    How to verify switch mode of AiMesh node?

    Does asuswrt have a running config file equivalent? I would like to be able to check the diff between the aimesh router config and the aimesh node config to see exactly what is getting pushed down. Specifically I want to know if the aimesh node is operating in store and forward or cut through...

    AI Mesh and Melin - The Short Answer

    I have beeen a devout Merlin WRT user for easily 5-6 years now after being so royally disappointed at how ASUS factory firmware is so obtuse and arcane for reasons never fully understood, and that's not to mention frequent from stability issues. Melin's work made going that route a no brainer...
