Hi gurus,
I had purchased a AX56u (wifi-6) in China (in reality, it is indeed an AX55 elsewhere) which wouldn't work with Merlin, and I had it returned.
I then purchased a more traditional AC68u and loaded Merlin + Astrill applet on it... Astrill even has the option of having 1 wifi radio going through VPN tunnel (e.g. 2.4G) and the other without, which is great.
However I need to cover other areas of home which the range of AC58u (wifi-5) wouldn't reach. So I need to purchase another router to build a mesh network.
Would it work if I re-purchase the AX56u (AX55) as a secondary router to form a mesh and have Astrill meshed onto the it then it would work throughout home?
It would be
- AC68u as the main router (with merlin / astrill loaded), 1 radio with astrill and the other radio without
- AX55 as the secondary router (with stock firmware) and then broadcast both the w/astril and w/o astrill signal
The desire outcome is I can see a VPN-ssid and no-VPN-ssid throughout home - Would this plan work?
I couldn't find anywhere that mesh would work with the main router having VPN loaded, so have to post a new thread...
Many thank...
