#Setting up asus router Pc#
On your PC log into the node’s administration panel and then click Administration tab and then select AiMesh Node radio button.Ĭlick the Next button to proceed. Plug the Ethernet cable into a LAN (Yellow or Black) port of the primary router and plug the other end of the cable into the WAN (Blue) port of the node. Next, connect the node to the primary router. Or download the ASUS Router app to your smart phone and use 1 PC. It is really easy if you have 2 PCs/laptops otherwise you will be doing a lot of cable swapping. I tried over and over but wasted an hour of my time. I followed the instructions for resetting the nodes but getting the nodes to be recognized by the primary for AiMesh was impossible. Make sure everything is setup regardless if you are using the AiMesh or not. On the primary router (ASUS GT-AC2900), setup the usual stuff: LAN IP address, DHCP server starting and ending range, SSID name for 2.4GHz and SSID name for 5GHz (I use different names i.e.

Next, I followed the instructions and upgrade the firmware on all 3 routers. The cabinets have a thick top molding, so all you see is 3 little antennas sticking up. The cabinets don’t go all the way to the ceiling, so I ran the cabling until I ran out of cabinets. For the node at the back of the house (kitchen), I decided to run cabling along the baseboards into the kitchen and up on top of the kitchen cabinets. Hence, the node in the basement would use wired backhaul. I have cabling in my office to the server room in the basement and wired the kids game room in the basement. I have partially hard-wired my house with cat 6 Ethernet cable. The ASUS AiMesh can use both wired and wireless for back-hauling. I decided on the following setup: the primary router would be at the very front of the house (main floor), a node at the very back of the house (main floor) and a node in the basement. So, I bought the items from Mega Computer. He offered $20 off to make it the same price as RT-AC86U for $249 CAD (roughly $190 USD) and ASUS RT-AC68U for $179 CAD (roughly $135 USD). Mega Computer didn’t have ASUS RT-AC86U in stock but had ASUS GT-AC2900 in stock. I checked Amazon, Best Buy on pricing and sent an email to Mega Computer (local small retailer). As the primary router, I decided to purchase ASUS RT-AC86U router. I decided to use my existing ASUS RT-AC68U router as a node and purchase another ASUS RT-AC68U router to be used as another node. If you want an indepth review then read Dong Ngo’s AiMesh Review: Asus’s Ongoing Journey to Excellent Wi-Fi Coverage post. I looked at the instructions and it seemed pretty straightforward.
I got fed up with it and since I had noticed that ASUS supported a mesh network called AiMesh, I thought why not.

People were still complaining about a slow internet plus the far Nest camera kept going online-offline-online-offline. I tried to manually set the channel to reduce the conflict with the other routers but I could only get it down to 30%.
When I logged into CradlePoint router, under WiFi connection, it was showing 50%-70% channel conflict. I offloaded the Nest traffic to a different router, problem solved, so I thought. So, I had the bright idea of putting the CradlePoint router at the front window and running a cable back to the modem and have the 2 Nest cameras and doorbell connect to the CradlePoint router. I have an extra router called: CradlePoint MBR95. My ISP allows the customer to have 2 IP addresses. And my wife and other kids were complaining about a slow internet.

After I added the cameras to the network, he complained that he was losing games because the router was dropping the PS4 connection. Kyle setup a PS4 and a 32” monitor on a tray in the family room, so that he could play Fall Guys using WiFi during intermission when we were watching NHL and NBA playoff games. I guess it double and triple checks for WiFi signals which takes a very long time. Mounting them wasn’t to difficult but doing the WiFi setup is really slow. The next day installed one on each side of the garage. She also signed up for the Google Nest subscription to store the video in the cloud.

She found that Best Buy had a 2 pack of Google Nest WiFi outdoor 1080p cameras on sale. We have a Nest doorbell camera but it only shows the view down our side walk to the street. Cynthia (my wife) said she now wanted a camera in front to cover our drive. Other times, I would just reboot the router.Ī couple of weeks ago, our neighbor, directly across from us, had their SUV stolen in the middle of the night. being on the main floor but connected to Tenda in the basement). Once in a while, someone would complain that the ‘internet is not working’ or ‘internet sucks’! Sometimes it would be as simple as being on the wrong router (i.e. In my house (and home office), I had an ASUS RT-AC68U router (on main floor) and a Tenda W150M router (in basement).
