GT-AXE11000 as aimesh node

[AustinMinton]

I have an Aimesh setup with 4x GT AC 5300 working well (main router same too). I am looking to install a GT-AXE11000 as aimesh node (not main). Would I be able to use the extra band for 6e devices or will it be useless? Currently I am using seperate ssid for each band and all nodes on ethernet backhaul.

Due to its location I cant use it as the primary router.

Thanks in advance.

Overpriced model with one mostly unusable band. Older generation AX router and a complete mismatch to what you have.

Your routers are on End-of-Life list now. No more firmware updates and security fixes. If you really need so many APs - there are better options than AiMesh with home routers. Going forward explore Ethernet options with small business equipment with PoE switch and PoE powered access points instead. Ubiquiti UniFi and TP-Link Omada are lower priced systems suitable for home installations. Both have wireless mesh options for hard to reach places as well as ceiling, wall plate, outdoor application APs. More networking knowledge needed to setup and can be more expensive, but better long term solution.

If you like Asus routers, a good router to look into at this time is the GT-AX6000. Some people complain about they way it looks but it does seem like a solid router. I honestly don't care how they look but your significant other might say something

Either way you might want to look for more info for this router.
