I have been using a RT-AX58U with latest merlin for a while now and it is working great. I also have a RT-AC68U just arrived today and my plan is to set it up as an mesh node. I know mesh 2.0 is coming soon but I want to start with all on the stable merlin release.
This is my plan:
1. leave AX58U as is - very happy with it and don't want to change it!
2. flash AC68U with latest merlin stable
3. factory reset AC68U using WPS button
4. place AC68U near to the main router and configure as mesh node on wi-fi
5. move AC68U to preferred location and connect via ethernet to WAN port
I wanted both routers to run Merlin but I have read there might be issues with the initial connection/setup. Does anyone have any tips/suggestions?
