Dedicated modem to run with my nighthawk mesh system

[robbiegwa]

Hi All,

I recently got a Nighthawk Mesh MK63 WiFi 6 system and was wondering if someone has this system and what modem they use with it?

I currently have an ASUS AC68U but I can't get the bridge mode to work on it. As such, I'm looking at a dedicated modem option.

Regards,
Rob

Review your ISP's 'authorized modems list' and shop for one of those or ask them for a free modem.

The ASUS RT-AC68U is a wireless router with no modem function. You can use it as a wireless router/AP or as a wired AP or as a wired/wireless AiMesh node, etc... but not as a modem.

Hi OE,

I have the DSL-AC68U, not the RT version.

Yeah, I'll have a look on their website, thanks.

If that post is correct about setting the VLAN on the DSL-AC68U in bridge mode not being possible, you'll need to find a way to express any required VLAN on the WAN port of your Nighthawk router.
