I'm currently using Maxis Fibre. Can I connect the fibre optical modem directly to Lyra for internet?

Is Lyra now officially supported with Maxis Fibre?

How do I setup multiple WAP to share the same SSID and password? I don't want to manually reconnect to the nearest WAP when I go from one floor to the other. The transition has to be seamless without human intervention.

If I do that, will my wireless device scan out multiple WAP of the same SSID or just 1 WAP?

I can't setup my 3x AiMesh nodes. The GUI say it couldn't find any. I've tried placing the routers next to each other, and also tried to connect via cable WAN-LAN port. Both failed.

AiMesh Router = RT-AC5300

AiMesh Nodes = 3x RT-AC68U

They are all on latest firmware as per your website

Factory reset also cannot solve the issue. Please help.

Go to the we GUI of the RT-AC5300, click AiMesh and Search for routers. You shall see the RT-AC68U listed there.

This was tried. Didn't work. Kindly propose an alternative.

Tried the "initialise" method. Still not working.


The latest firmware downloaded from ASUS site.

This is disappointing. Maybe I should have gone with Ubiquiti (even though i have to trunk out an ethernet over the ceiling, but whatever)

AiMesh is a joke.

AC5300 = this firmware https://www.asus.com/my/Networking/RT-AC5300/HelpDesk_BIOS/

All 3 AC68U = the latest one from ur website (the support link for it is gone)

AC5300 wifi both 2.4ghz and 5ghz are working well, and are mostly on default settings (i.e. disabled AiProtection, etc etc...)...

I've tried all possible solutions - placing the nodes next to the router / wire the nodes to the router / factory reset / configure AiMesh at router and nodes.... all failed.

I think the Mesh network is still in its infancy with lots of room of improvements. I did consider Deco a while ago, but since TP Link themselves stated Unifi/Maxis/Time are not officially supported, i decided to stay away and give AiMesh a try.

Our house is a 3 storey semi-D with lots of walls. Even with AC5300, it's hard to get a decent wifi signal from the furthest bedroom. Our ethernet ports uses CAT3 cables which only limits bandwidth to 10mbps, which pretty much rules out wired mesh.

I've heard a lot of good stuff with Ubiquiti. It's meant for corporate/enterprise, but its product pricing is within consumer affordability and ease-of-use. Only problem is it must be wired mesh.

Oh sorry... i meant WAP

Changing ethernet RJ45 socket is easy. Replacing the cables inside the walls from CAT3 to CAT5/5e/6 is difficult with lots of civil works.

Does BRT-AC828 come with DHCP controller? We purely need it for better IP assignment/management.
