Hi everyone,
I've just purchased an ASUS ZenWiFi AX XT8 containing a pack of two routers and I'm very happy with the performance and the AiMesh capability. I've set up the routers yesterday and enabled the Tri-Band Smart Connect feature in the iOS app, and everything looks great. Despite the fact that the general consensus is to avoid upgrading the firmware, I did it anyway and so far I haven't experienced any issues.
That being said, my routers have been set up so that the main one connected to the WAN cable is downstairs, while the AiMesh node is upstairs (note that there is no Ethernet cable between the two routers). Because I'm not often upstairs and neither of my family members use the Internet that much while in bedrooms, I would like to have the ability to temporarily disconnect the AiMesh node. I did this earlier by turning off the node via the power button, but is there a way to do this from the iOS app or the ASUS web interface? Note that I don't want to remove the node (which I've seen as an option in the iOS app); instead, I just want to mark the node as offline. I was thinking about using a smart plug, but I would appreciate a solution that uses the software provided by ASUS.
Thanks for reading!
