Anyone can share best settings for AX-86U with latest factory firmware?

It depends on the devices, what they choose. I don't like that. On my mobile devices, I only associate with the SSID/radio/band I want to use the device with.

Makes sence of corse and that's what I did setting up the router. Apparently one is not enough for second floor, so I've just ordered another RT-AX86U. I also found a way to use LAN cable for backhaul. From your experience will node connected via LAN backhaul provide close/same theoretical wifi speed and most importantly latency as if wireless client be connected to the main router?

If you have experience, what would be best way to connect LAN backhau:

Router: use 2.5g LAN as WAN and use WAN port as LAN for backhaul
Or use 2.5G LAN for backhaul (donno if it's possible)

Node: where should backhaul LAN be connected, LAN1, WAN or 2.5G LAN?

Sorry for million questions and thanks again for comprehensive answers.

Two AX86U Aimesh @2.5G Ethernet backhaul possible? | SmallNetBuilder Forums

I think I posted this link for you previously. This works great. The 'graphic' indicator though shows as disconnected. Easy to ignore for now (it will get fixed, of course).

Btw, are you using Beta 3 or Beta 4 for your RT-AX86U?

I'm so sorry, I misspelled the thread as 2.5Hz backhaul. Will get through it now. Thanks again.

Using Asuswrt 386. Was recommended to look at Merlin after stable release is available

Oh darn, I never ever changed much if at all when upgrading router firmware. Only click upload and done
Now I am seriously considering a DELETE ALL install and new SSID just so involved...
This can only be done with the family away or we have a major situation
