Can I add an RP-AC68U to a Mesh network?

[JasonUK]

My setup:

ISP: Sky 50Mbps fibre
Modem: Sky Hub 3.0
Router: RT-AC5300 + RT-AC68U (mesh)

I need to add 2-3 more nodes. I purchased an RP-AC68U and was told it can be meshed.. is this true?

Currently doing the firmware upgrade as I couldn’t see the option for it.

As of Feb 2018 support of repeaters as AiMesh nodes was expected “in a few months” according to Asus.

No RP devices are on the AiMesh supported list still though so how true that statement was is anybodies guess!

Definitely not supported today though.

I can find no suggestion on the Asus website that that model supports AiMesh.

Given they cost the same as the RT-AC68U may as well get that instead.

Ah got it, ok i think it’s safe to say it won’t be included. I’ve got two RP’s now so I’ll make use of these until something cheap pops up.

Is there a list where I can see all mesh compatible devices?
