[quote quote=9885]Ok, so had an email from ASUS this morning and it does look as though the DSL-AC68U does support both AiMesh Primary and Node but for AiMesh Node the DSL-AC68U does not support AiMesh via Ethernet backhaul. DSL-AC68U acting as an AiMesh Node only supports wireless backhaul due to the lack of WAN port Sorry for the bad news [/quote]

nooooooo

The WAN port is for telephony it won’t work for a LAN connection.

Thats not correct, WAN port of RT-AC68U is an Ethernet-port, and DSL-AC68U got an DSL-port (for phone-line) there is no WAN port on it. @Patrik Pabo: So you have to use “alternative” picture you postet. AFAIK you have to set in menu which port shall act as WAN-port on your DSL-AC68U, in your case set it to LAN1 and use the port named LAN1.[/quote]

I will try asap, thank you!

You mean 2 x DSL-AC68U I think ?

Yes, I have 1x RT-AC68U and 2 x DSL-AC68U

With the latest firmware they should be able to act as a node, similar to an RT-AC68U, connecting in the same way.[/quote]

You mean I can connect th ethernet cable from the WAN port of the RT-AC68U to the LAN_1 port of the DSL-AC68U using the stock firmware ?

Hi there, I have an RT-AC86U as primary router (connected to vodafone power station via WAN port) and need to add two ethernet wired AiMesh nodes. Accidentaly I have bough two DSL-AC86u, instead of RT…sigh…was in a hurry and the price was good As for today the DSL firmware allow for Aimeshing I do not need to make the conversion to RT, right ? Can DSL-AC86U use LAN port to be aimesh-ed with ethernet backhaul ? thx!

Hi Can you post a picture of these routers? Thx.[/quote]

I am away from home now. They are similar, the RT model has a WAN RJ45 port (blue) while the DSL has an RJ11 and the DSL module that act as a modem
