I can't tell.

They are Network & Network 1. They don't differentiate between IPv4 & IPv6.

I restarted my computer and it's back down to on network now with a different name. It prompted me to say if it was a home, public network etc when it restarted so i guess it is treating it like a totally new network.

3.0.0.4.384_10007

Going to test out AiMesh with AC68U too.

Possible to give a review on AiMesh vs repeater mode?

By the way, off topic but I found since changing to Google DNS, some websites I used to access have been blocked. the message says it doesn't comply with Malaysian regulations.

Try Quad 9 DNS by IBM.
DNS IP: 9.9.9.9

Sure. Planned to do so. But not so soon. Busy with other stuffs now...

Guys - which region did you set for your AC86U?

Wireless -> Professional -> Region

Asia
China (Default)
Europe
Korea
Singapore
US
Australia

I am currently using Asia, but problem is that my 5Ghz wireless is not detected by some of my devices (Nintendo Switch etc). Most devices (iPhone, Mate 9 etc) can detect the 5Ghz wireless without issues.

This happens for Singapore, China option as well... I could set the Wireless channel manually of course, but just wanted to know if there is a solution out there

I left it at the default. So far everything of mine works.

Does it really matter? I mean aren't wireless standards the same throughout?

Check your Wireless key encryption. The Switch doesn't seem to support WPA2 TKIP. It only supports the more secured WPA2 AES.

Thx for the reply guys. Wireless key was WPA2-Personal+AES already. Seems that the router has a preference to always use 149 and above channels in my case - somehow the Switch does not detect the SSID. I manually selected control channel 48 for now and everything works.

aimesh....both 2 router(example...ac86u and ac68u) ssid is same....

i.m using ac86--> lan cable connect to ac68u wan port..
ac68u as a node....then using ac86u connect it...

if using wireless connect...inside AiMesh node list didnt show anything....i think this is a bugs..
after upgraded latest firmware...it always show upgrade available ---> this also a bugs...lol

repeater mode....both 2 router...different ssid...

Did you manage to setup AC68U as repeater? I failed to do so.

haha...u must be cant search aimesh right?

1) setup ac68u first..upgrade to latest firmware.(3.0.0.4.384_10007).. .goto Administration - Operation Mode---> select aimesh node...

2)setup ac86u ...upgrade to latest firmware.(3.0.0.4.384_10007)...goto Administration - Operation Mode---> Wireless router mode / AiMesh Router mode (Default)...


3)inside ac86u ...network map---> click aimesh node....-->search...u will see ur ac68u node...

No, I am not taking about AiMesh. That's can be setup easily.

It's the old repeater mode. Can't seem to get 2 of them link together.

Hi

OK I have experienced an issue that I haven't before with the TM Unifi Innacom RGX 44000.

One of my computers, a MacBook with a manually assigned static IP address keeps getting periodically disconnected from the the AC-86U. The IP address is outside of the DHCP pool of addresses.

How do I troubleshoot why this is happening and fix the issue?

I have the AiProtection and Adaptive QoS prioritising web surfing enabled.

I also have Dual Band Smart Connect enabled.

Before, on the Innacom router, the MacBook would occasionally switch between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks and both of them are prioritised on my Macbooks' Network Settings in Preferences.

Now with Dual Band Smart Connect, it only sees the 5 GHz network. Could it be that when the AC86U "smartly connects" the MacBook disconnects from the 5 GHz network, looks for the 2.4 GHz network, can't find it and hence just stays disconnected? This is just something that is annoying. Any help on how to fix it is much appreciated.

The other differences in settings from the Innacom router are as follows:

1. The Asus 86U is now using WPA 2 instead of WEP

2. The channel selection of both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands are on "Auto" with Dual Band Smart Connect. Before, 5 GHz was on "Auto" but I seleceted the 2.4 GHz channel manually between 1, 6 and 11.

can this support IPTV - Hypptv and what will be the setting?

can...inside asus setup page...--->lan--->iptv--->Select ISP Profile...unifi-home

bro...u're right....after upgraded latest firmware...the Repeater mode can not be used..it cannot connect the host...!!!

Yeah... Installed Merlin firmware finally.

Official firmware can't even solve one simple issue - UPnP Media Server address always change after reboot after so many revision. Err...

Mind to share the feature that Merlin offer and how was it perform over the official firmware in term of stability ?

Official firmware is stable. No need to install Merlin unless it is needed. For example, OpenVPN is not working on official one (wasted lot of time on this previously). DLNA issue that I faced. Or you need to customize stuffs that not supported on official one. And so on...

Do check out snbforums for more Merlin stuffs.
