No Wireless Backhaul Option - Two Asus GT-AC2900 Mesh

[utsc]

Is it possible to setup a Wireless Backhaul Mesh network on GT-AC2900 ?

I am able setup a Mesh with two GT-AC2900 only via Ethernet Backhaul

Backhaul Connection Priority: 1G WAN only is Available - I can not click the drop down menu to change it to Auto

Even when adding the node to the mesh I tried to set the node via wireless and the master did detected the node but could not apply the mesh setting due to some error. Consequently, I was forced to connect via Ethernet to add the note to the mesh.

1. Go to Web GUI-> AiMesh -> System Settings
Turn off Ethernet Backhaul Mode

2. I knew I needed to turn on WPS for set-up. (switch frequency to 5ghz first, then turn on wps)

3. I always turn WPS off after setting up the nodes as it is a huge security risk.

Can I disable WPS in AiMesh?

I have successfully set up 2 RT-AC86U using a wired backhaul in AiMesh mode. I knew I needed to turn on WPS for set-up. However, when I try to turn it off after setup, I get this message: "If you disable WPS, it will affect the AiMesh wifi connectivity. Are you sure to process?" Does this...

Thank you very much, you were spot on: Turning off Ethernet Backhaul Mode did the trick
