    AiMesh or not to AiMesh

    I am rebuilding wifi setup, so currently I have rt-ax86U as router, and can use my old router as AP (rt-ac68u). Unfortunately alone rt-ax86u is not enough - it does not cover whole house and I am limited with moving it to more central place. I have long good quality ethernet cable between...

    AiMesh trouble with ZenWifi XT8 mesh router

    I have an ZenWifi XT8 router and am connecting two RT-AC68U routers as Aimesh nodes. Both routers are connected through LAN to have a wired backhaul. After moving the RT-AC68Us to their intended locations, one works just fine, but the other does not show up in the Aimesh map. The WAN port shows...

    Connection to AiMesh node degrades over time

    The connection to my AiMesh node gets worse within a few days. Clients connected to the node, via WiFi or Ethernet, have much slower and inconsistent SpeedTest results (down from 250Mbit/s to 30Mbit/s), pauses in VoIP applications such as WiFi calling or Google Voice every second, and sluggish...

    How does the Dedicated Wireless Backhaul work when combining a dual band and tri-band router?

    Hey all! How does the Dedicated Wireless Backhaul work when combining a dual band and tri-band router? Does the dual band router stop providing 5GHz wifi connection to devices OR does the dual band router not provide a 5GHz wifi backhaul to the other AiMesh nodes? I have an AiMesh setup with...

    My solution to AIMesh not adding a node with RT-AC68u & AXE11000

    For anyone having AIMesh node add issues, here is my simple (but annoying) fix. I just troubleshot my first AIMesh setup attempt an hour ago. It seems like it doesn't setup unless you have a wired (ethernet) connection between each router. Both are on their latest firmwares, and both had...

    RT-AX88U Dropping "Some" IPTV Connections

    I have an RT-AX88U router running with my ISP providing a 1gb fiber line. I have 3 IPTV boxes, all the same spec, all the same IPTV provider. One IPTV is plugged directly in to the AX88U, the second IPTV is plugged in to a RT-AX56U (running as AiMesh Node which uses a wired backhaul). The third...

    AI mesh support for low end routers

    Hello, I am a recent owner of an RT-AC86U, purchased it to get better coverage for my 1500sqft house but unfortunately due to thick brick walls I get dead zones in some areas. I would like to extend my range by investing in an AI mesh system. I would like to know if lower end routers like the...

    Hi all, am very new to networking (especially wifi 6 and mesh systems), so apologies if this question has been asked many times before. Currently i am running a 2x AX56U setup running in ai mesh.

Essentially admin page showed X for internet connectivity. I hard rebooted the primary and all the nodes but that did not fix...

    Setting aimesh nodes

    Hi everyone, new to the forums. I am currently trying to set up aimesh using the older Asus Lyra Trio AC1750 with a pair of Asus AX6100. I was wondering if it makes any difference which nodes I use as a main node, i.e., will it affect the performance of the mesh network. Thanks

    RT-AC66U B1 left AiMesh 2.0 permanently

    The only reason I posted this thread here is because my test routers are running Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2_4 at the moment. I know RMerlin has no control over Asus AiMesh. Here is the description of the system: - AiMesh 2.0 wireless backhaul setup with AC86U main + AC86U node 1, AC66U node 2. -...

    wondering if anyone can help me. Q1: I want to improve my wifi but don't know what I should do. right now I'm running x2 AC68U in Aimesh mode. I'm a hardcore fan of Asus, so I'm thinking of (1) their Aimesh system XT8, (2) a combination of AX11000 (as main router) + ax92u (as Aimesh...

    How can I monitor temperature on an AIMesh Node (merlin)?

    Hi all, I have done quite a substantial fan mod on my Asus RT-AC68u (circuit with temperature-control, driving 2x 12V fans with a separate power supply) and wanted to ask whether it is possible to monitor the temperature of an AIMesh node? Currently I can only see the main router. I'm on Merlin...
