I have a (AC2900) RT-AC86 main router. My old RT-AC68 router I have setup as a AIMesh AP point.
To the AiMesh AP RT-AC68 I connect several computers directly by cable.
I many times remote from one of these computers to the others. So all computers connected to the AiMesh AP.
Question, can one somehow make the RT-AC68 mesh point to do that direct routing on its LAN ports without involving the AC86 main router?
I now and then get disconnections. I can only assume it is due to a bad uplink between the main router and the AiMesh ap (the uplink is over 5Ghz)
I have tried to make the uplink using a power outlet extender (so cable from AC68 to power outlet extender to other power outlet extender to main router).
That seems more stable than 5Ghz but decreases the overall network speed a lot.
I know the best would be to have a direct cable all the way from the mesh AP to the main router but that is not an option at the moment.
