Hey all, I currently have a Asus RT-AX3000 .. anybody suggestions for the "cheapest" AIMesh node I can get for my router ? Currently my daughter in her room still can access my 5g wifi but she says the connection very spotty and affects her online classes.. however budget it tight, so appreciate any suggestions. I saw this https://shopee.com.my/Asus-Rt-Ac59U-V2-Ac15...7368?position=8 Will this work? Also, how does AIMesh work? I saw my friend's wifi mesh network from maxis, he has to has one node connected to the main router via wire.. Do I have to do this for AiMesh? Thanks for any info. |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Aug 23 2021, 10:14 PM) I will recommend bump up the budget and get at least the RT-AX55 if you want a problem free connection. Ah ok thanks.. seems not too much of a bump. Will look into it thanks. Oh I installed merlin wrt on my current router, the aimesh feature should work the same also right ? (just saw some videos seems like aimesh different from my friend's airties mesh network.. no need to wire connection one mesh to router first) |

QUOTE(kk131 @ Aug 24 2021, 06:49 AM) You can use either ethernet cable or wifi for the backhaul connection to the router. Using cable will give more throughput to the clients. QUOTE(szecheng @ Aug 24 2021, 02:49 PM) wired backhaul if you can, you wont regret QUOTE(kk131 @ Aug 24 2021, 04:08 PM) Aimesh works the same, it's a closed source from the official Asus firmware. Recommend that you install the Diversion addon to block ads on your network. QUOTE(maxguy @ Aug 24 2021, 04:27 PM) current home unifi setup with aimesh Asuswrt-Merlin AX86U router  AX88U node wired  AC68U node wireless  Thanks for the info and advice. Cheers! |

Hey guys, the other day my Asus ax-3000 router suddenly died.. at first all the wifi turned off and the router no longer providing DNS to resolve lan IP..
I thought firmware issue so tried to reflash firmware.. but halfway it died XD .. now only power light on and dimmed.
Bought a AX59U (within my budget) and wondering what is a good aimesh node to use with this? something cheaper just so that my kids in their room have a better connection.
My eldest playing valorant complain got lag spike but to be fair I am not sure if that's the coverage issue or recent internet slowness.
