AiMesh for Tri-band routers: RT-AC5300, GT-AC5300

[arthurlien]

Arthur,

Can we assume that when there are any new beta firmware for RT-AC5300 / GT-AC5300 you will post here? So that we do not get misled to installed unofficial beta found in discussions here Thanks

It's under validation internally.

Sure we'd all be happy to help validate externally!

I’m also looking forward to some progress on this next firmware. I hope it allows us to lock the backhaul to the 2nd 5ghz channel and then allows 2.4 and 5ghz 1st channel to be available for client connections.

Yet another new beta firmware with no changelog... Only mentions that it resolves the issue with the second 5GHz band.

GT-AC5300_9.0.0.4_384_20282-g4b09e18_cferom_ubi_0119.w
*Link removed as it is not from any of ASUS official sources. Sorry for any inconveniences caused.

Please remember to reset to factory default and setup from the beginning after the update to ensure minimal issue/bug/problem!
Enjoy!

Remind. It's not official publish version and it's not published by ASUS.

Arthur,

When will there be an official Asus beta available?
Is this a fix from Asus to resolve some issue for some user?

I am not sure what the issue solved.

@arthurlien just wanted to thank Asus for providing the Aimesh capability as it will no doubt be a great feature. I'm curious if there will be any chance that VLAN capabilities will ever make it into the firmware for the RT-AC5300?

@arthurlien have an idea of how much longer the firmware will be baked/ validated internally before releasing?

 

[Bartman]

That's right everyone, smash Arthur with repetitive questions and he will soon vanish and you will not ever know what's going on, he has already said whats going on, he really cannot say any more, back off.

Regards

Please let ASUS complete its internal testing. The "is it soup yet?" question has been asked enough. Chill please.

OK, so my frustration lies in the fact that I've spent ~$800 USD for 2 of these in good faith that this AiMesh would work. It was working fairly good, but after mistakenly loading a firmware posted here that had same ASUS naming convention, I haven't been able to get it working again. The router will discover the node and says it's been added, but won't show in the node list. Seems to be there as I did a firmware downgrade it seems successfully from the admin tab on the node. But network performance has been abysmal as of late, which shouldn't be the case with FTTH and the money invested in what should be superior hardware.

You're frustrated because you are trying out beta firmware? Asus has never said that Aimesh is available and supported on the AC5300 products. They have always said that they would be supported later this year. Just so you don't have to look it up, it's still January.

You have only yourself to blame for any frustration. Even the released versions of AiMesh need work.

You should have gotten a clue from how long it has taken ASUS to work the kinks out of Lyra--a mesh system (allegedly) designed to work as a system and not a science experiment primarily aimed at goosing sales of older products.

"Good faith" and "trust" are not terms I would use in discussing Wi-Fi marketing.

 

[ggruszynski]

Quite aware of what month and year we're in. Just know official firmware is "coming soon" and this being the ASUS flagship, would expect sooner rather than later. Having worked with and for many OEMs in telecom and the Wireless Carriers, had just expected more I guess. Def wouldn't have purchased Lyra had I been going that route. Set back up as AP's for now until the official firmware is released.

Is Anyone using 9.0.0.4.382_19612-g01e94f5 ? I didn't see it mentioned at all in this thread. That's what I'm currently using for my GT-5300 and so far Aimesh is working flawlessly with my AC88u and AC68W. (knock on wood) The new Beta dropped but as far as I can tell since I can't find patch notes it fixes an issue with a feature I don't use so I don't want to risk messing up my setup as its actually working without flaws at the moment.
