Excuess me if this had been shared before but anyone know how do I utilise the port 4 of my Asus ac3200 for Internet usage? I'm using unifi and I do not use iptv therefore will love to use that vlan tagged port to connect to my smart tv

I'm shopping for an Aimesh router (AC5300) as my spare RE-AC3200 do not support Aimesh. I'm using AC88U as the primary and looking for a place to put the AiMesh router so eliminate deadspot. I spoke to the salesman and they told me the following, wonder if it's true

1) AC88U would not work well with AiMesh as AiMesh uses second 5GHz as a backhaul. I'm currently using 5GHz for my home as well. (AC88U only have a single 5Ghz)

2) In order to know if i'll get full speed on my deadspot area, i need to configure Media Bridge connecting 5Ghz to my AiMesh router connecting to the primary router, if i can get full speed on my AiMesh router, then that's a good spot to put my AiMesh.

How true is the above? The salesman doesnt look too convincing

Thanks for the reply bro. I need to use the AC88U as primary since I needed the first two port for my NAS link aggregation. Are u using the stock firmware or merlin? I was wondering if merlin has the tweak to force 5ghz

Sorry to hijack but is the restriction on channel hardware or firmware controlled / limited? Reason im asking is i plan to get a router from US Amazon as they are having sales now. I also noticed in our Wifi settings there's a region. So selecting Asia although the set is from US is fine?

I’ve got a question. Will there be any issue if I were to mix different routers for aimesh? Will the entire mesh system downgrade to the lowest spec router?

I have the following setup
Main - ac88u
Aimesh via giga Lan - ac5300

Planning to get a ac1900 to cover another blind spot. Based on my setup above will the entire network slow down to match ac1900?

Thank you! And is there a reason why they recommend using the highest spec router as the main? I'm planning to dive into AX with AX1000 and since my PC and devices are upstairs, i plan to hook it up to the LAN AiMesh while retaining AC88U as my main router. Will i still be enjoying wireless AX when it's supported by my devices since im not able to configure AX settings (AiMesh nod) or i would need to ensure my main is AX as well?

will there be a support for wireguard vpn protocol soon for Asus routers via official FW?

I'm using GT-AX11000 I'm running dual wan (load balancing with 2:1) combine my times fiber and u mobile 5G router. Where do i set rules for certain device to use WAN or LAN (which is from my 5G router)?
