Flashed with the DSL-AC68U_9.0.0.4_384_81451-g2429703.trx.zip succesfully. Added as a aimesh node succesfully. Adjusted the priority to the ethernet. Made a LAN to LAN connection (LAN Port 1 of DSL-AC68U) But no matter what I did, it didnt switch to the ethernet backhaul. I think ASUS disabled this feature in the firmware considering there is no WAN port.

I will ask ASUS on Monday about Ethernet backhaul (Node) for DSL-AC68U

Thanks, at least we got a general idea of how this stuff will work.

you could try to first change WAN port to LAN1 instead of DSL and then connect as Aimesh-node.

@Lax – Ok, so I have received feedback from ASUS and as you thought, Ethernet AiMesh backhaul for DSL-AC68U (RE) Node option does not work (not supported).

The latest Beta (DSL-AC68U_9.0.0.4_384_81451-g2429703.trx.zip) from ASUS does support AiMesh Ethernet Backhaul (CAP) Primary, but not for (RE) Node.

I also asked if they plan to allow the DSL-AC68U to support Ethernet backhaul for (RE) Node at some point in the future and they have no plans currently.
