Moved: Reply To: DSL-AC68U AiMesh Node – (Post was Moved as not related to original Topic) Hi I have recently updated my DSL-AC68U with the latest firmware and I cannot see anywhere to set the router node...

Exactly as I supposed it to be.

Dont read SNB anymore so I dont know whether GNUton got it with AimeshRE over LAN backhaul in the meantime.

Now I am confused just did a search and got this link where it says  and I quote “Latest stock firmware introduces Aimesh-NODE support as child over LAN on DSL-AC68U.
So it is possible now to reuse this modemrouter as Aimesh node with Wifi AND LAN backhaul!”

If you look at the ASUS official download servers, that description (changelog) is not mentioned.

option may have been removed etc.

But give it a go and let us know what happens

I wrote the infos from here (that LAN-child mode is supported) in snb-forum caused on this reply.

Later it has been reverted to be not stable, but in the meantime they should have solved this issue.

Or corona infected their firmwares

Rumours only ;-)

Edit: Being serious for a moment, officially ASUS support DSL-AC68U (RE) via Wireless only.

I cannot recall, but if you set up your two DSl-AC68U one as Master (CAP), the other as Child (RE) via wifi then there maybe a way to then change RE interface to Ethernet (LAN 1) and establish a new AiMesh relationship etc.

A little tricky and (not supported by ASUS) but may work ?
