ap mode

I'm looking for some clarity. I have 2 ET12 and 1 AX88U Pro (They are all running the firmware which supports GNP). Currently, one ET12 is the main router and the others are AiMesh nodes. I have an IoT VLAN (52) which works fine and propagates via my managed switches etc. I'm planning on adding...

I own a RT-AX88U Pro and recently update the firmware and wanted to use the VLAN feature. Normally with any SMB AP product, it is a slam dunk easy config. But I am not sure about these ASUS consumer APs. Here is the topology of my network (simplified) Questions: 1) In AP mode, under the...

I have been using my GT-AC5300 as a hone router for two years. Great product. Then I wanted some tech fun, so I spun up a pfsense router and turned the AC5300 into AP only. Worked great for one month. Then I picked up an AC68U amd added it to the aimesh as an AP node upstairs to improve coverage...

Hi all, I have a TUF-AX3000 V2 router in AP mode behind an ISP router. I connected an IPTV device to the Asus AP on LAN. When I switch on the IPTV the channel freeze after a few seconds and after approx. 30 secs start working again. I cannot find an option to enable IGMP snooping on LAN when I...

Happy Lunar New Year to those celebrating in the forum! As I get closer to moving into my home I started to put more thought into my setup. Since it's a good idea to segregate my IoT devices (locks, Apple TV, Light Switches, etc), it caused a pickle since I plan to put my XT8's in AP mode since...

I am using an ASUS RT-AX58U in AP mode (NOT router mode) with Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3_2. In this configuration, the AP does not forward IPv6 router advertisements to WiFi clients from IPv6 routers on the same layer 2 network. With any other WiFi APs (e.g. Linksys, Ubiquiti, Devolo) connected to the...

I'm looking to replace an eero pro system from 4 years ago. I have ethernet connectivity at each node location, so I would be looking to do ethernet backhaul with the AX Mini. Here's my question: I have FiOS TV/Internet which requires me to have their router in the network. So I would want to...

I have 2 RT-AC1900P running in AP Mode (wireless AiMesh) on Merlin 386.2-6. I have been testing these over the last few weeks on various ASUS and now Merlin FW as both Router/Node and now AP/Node configurations. I did not test AP/Node under ASUS FW. The primary functions are provided by a...

So i've been trying to get this to work right. Initially everything is fine all my AiMesh nodes pair to the RT-AC5300. The thing is after I start enabling things like VPN Server / Diversion & I reboot the router or I disconnect the ethernet wire from the node the whole thing stalls. The only way...

Set up my AC68U to utilize NordVPN servers... I'm sorry guys, but I've been searching for too long and the search terms are just too generalized to get a specific answer on this. I'm running the latest firmware on both AC68U (AP mode) and AC1900P (AiMesh node). Is there a way to run my...

Hi, I have a few asus merlin routers in AP mode with an ethernet backhaul to the main router. Is there any benefit in switching to AIMesh with ethernet backhaul? cheers Chris

This is the setup I have: Main ASUS router is located in the Main house, and directly connected to cable modem from ISP. This main router is in the default Wireless router mode, and its WiFi signal is used by people in the main house. There is an ethernet backhaul line that runs from the Main...

Hello, I have an AC68U currently with Merlin 384.5 (in the last 24h Stock and tomato) with refuses to work with my new internet speed. Today i upgraded from 20M to 50M, and any speed test with the AC68U in Router Mode is stuck at 20M. If I plug in my desktop directly to the ISP Router, it...

Hi. Searched the forum and wiki and didn't see any threads relating to this ... maybe because everyone else knows this isn't possible (LOL). I have an RT-N66UR with 380.69_2, in AP mode because I have another device doing the routing. On the 2.4 wifi is a Roku TV box. I have some issue between...

Hi everyone, I have an Asus RT-AC1200G+ router working in AP mode which is connected to my Internet/TV provider router via the WAN port. I have a STB connected to one of the LAN ports of the Asus router. Since there is multicast traffic reaching the Asus router (for IPTV), I would like to turn...

Hello, I would like to use WAN port on a par with other 4 LAN ports in access point (AP) mode on my RT-AC87U with 380.68_4 Merlin firmware. Do I need to move WAN port (port 0 on BCM5301x switch) from vlan2 to vlan1 manually by robocfg utility in AP mode? Thank you.
