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

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.

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.

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.

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
