    Running AiMesh nodes through a fiber switch/converter - what worked for me.

    I recently switched from a wireless AiMesh to a partially wired AiMesh setup using fiber optic to ethernet converters. I ran into some issues which I finally worked out so I thought I would share the experience here for others to find. The key point here would probably apply to any switch be...

    RT-AC87U AiMesh via ethernet backhaul

    Hi All, I think I already know that the answer to my question is a 'No', though thought I'd ask, to be sure: I have an old AC-87U, that I am aware cannot be added as a node in AiMesh (to my AX-86S), due to the 5ghz antenna used. However, is there any workaround of setting it up via ethernet...

    [Feature Request] Show all clients in Wireless Log

    Is it possible for the Wireless Log in the web UI to show all connected clients, even those connected to any AI Mesh nodes? Currently only clients connected to the main router show up here. Reason being: it's very useful for debugging to be able to quickly see what the signal strength is for...

    AX86U on 3004.388.4 doesn't let set Wi-Fi channel after AX92U on 3.0.0.4.388_23630 is added as an AiMesh node using ethernet backhaul

    Hello everyone! After buying a new Wi-Fi 6 enabled cellphone, I discovered that it won't connect to the primary Wi-Fi 6 5GHz network (AX86U running on Merlin 3004.388.4 firmware) due to it using Channel 153. When I tried to manually set a different channel, there was just a blank menu with no...

    Restart all wireless devices, including the ones on AiMesh-nodes?!

    When using the command "service restart_wireless" it only seems to affects devices connected to the main router. Is there a similar command to restart all wireless devices in the network including the ones connected to AiMesh-nodes?
