Hello,
I have two AC-86U set up in an AiMesh configuration, and the actual AiMesh node has a full complement of LAN clients (upstairs computer, printer, laptop, HDHomeRun)
The problem is I want to add a fifth LAN client (Raspberry Pi).
I would love to be able to use the "extra" WAN port which is not otherwise being used (and no chance of ethernet backhaul, so it will remain unused). I tried just plugging the client in, but it does not connect.
Is there anything I can do? I am okay doing shell commands if needed. (I saw some reference to robocfg, but the AC-86U does not seem to have this, at least not on recent F/W, 3.0.0.4.384_81049)
As a fallback I have an old RT-N16 that I can set up as a bridge, but it seems a waste when that "extra" WAN port is sitting there (taunting me ).
Thanks for any insight...
