Done! but how do I set the second dsl in Aimesh mode?
Ok, so AiMesh is supposed to support both Hub and Spoke (Star) and/or Daisy Chain
Do not use app, log onto primary and use UI.
It is a fully automatic process and the AiMesh code decides what is best which includes whether to use 5GHz or 2.4GHz as backhaul (5GHz is better) but does have distance limitations.
Unsure of where your nodes are placed, (whether you have any ethernet backhaul) but best to bring Primary and Nodes within a Metre of each other and setup us as follows for wifi AiMesh
Setup up as Hub and Spoke topology so all nodes are within wifi range of primary
DSL-AC68U as Primary
DSL-AC68U as 1st Node
RT-AC68U as 2nd node
I have only ever tried AiMesh with 1 node and it is working well, currently in my house with RT-AC86U as Primary and DSL-AC68U as AiMesh Node
