Nagging wife often told me that the room wifi is very slow, look at the video card or something, because my family and Modem Router are put in the position near the entrance of the location, not the middle of the whole house, as well as far away from the point of the room, so the room wifi signal in not very good. Initially I was the easiest way in the room installed a wifi amplifiers, that tens of dollars, but the effect is not very good, then I put the router as a pro idle glory of a repeater, slightly better a little, but still not ideal, but they have some drawbacks, is the SSID will not automatically switch, you must manually switch, sometimes from the living room into the room, although the signal is weak, but still connected to the outside wifi, although the same can be set name and password, but in fact when the conversion will still be disconnected.

Until recently I did not know ASUS routers have a feature called AiMesh fast hardware, may be a bit late, what is AiMesh it? For more information please refer to introduce ASUS official website.

ASUS wireless router designed for greater Wi-Fi coverage is designed, under normal circumstances, an ASUS wireless router to provide smooth and reliable Wi-Fi network to every corner of the home. However, Wi-Fi coverage area may be affected by many factors, such as: room configuration, building materials, furnishings and even furniture! If there are dead or unstable signal in your home, then, Asus AiMesh it is your ideal choice! AiMesh is the innovative wireless function of the router, you can connect multiple ASUS wireless router and create a home Smart Wi-Fi system, can replace proprietary network system, to provide users with a more powerful and flexible fully functional, effective and flexible fix your Wi-Fi signal problems, and there is no limitation other brands of multi-router system suffered: for example, when you upgrade, you can mix different models of ASUS wireless router, and without discarding existing wireless router, or even use the old AiMesh wireless router to extend the network! AiMesh allows you to time-saving way to centrally manage all wireless routers, seamless roaming means you no longer have to switch networks. AiMesh is worthy of your trust Wi-Fi, all devices can access at any time!

Simply put, ASUS AiMesh is to allow you to connect multiple ASUS wireless router to create a home Smart Wi-Fi system to solve the problem of instability signal, and the signal dead ends. The most important thing is, no matter how many routers AiMesh system is that only one SSID, centralized management of all routers do not need to switch between different SSID, even in the process of walking, can also be achieved without the so-called sew roaming, the experience is clear on a lot better.

I now just use the router AC68U, and firmware also supports AiMesh, Ever since I wanted to set a AiMesh network, it intends to start into a AC66U, although AC66U firmware does not support AiMesh, but you can let it brush Merlin system support, and the price much cheaper, but I finally chose AC68U state line, usually do not play the game do not need more high-end models, the two AC68U set a AiMesh there is less distinction between them friends. Tucao is the price to buy more expensive than when I bought last year, double last year when 11 to buy only 620, now close to 700 yuan it!

Configuration

First, update to the latest firmware, there is [node] AiMesh option is to represent the support AiMesh in [network] in the map.

Followed by the [node] AiMesh your search to another router, it is best to be placed next to the original router to be able to search a little faster.

After the addition is complete, the following prompt will appear to confirm just fine. Times can be routed through the network cable or wifi, or wired backhaul theoretically more stable, but I am here is to connect through wifi, which is wireless backhaul.

After successful connection, the router node in the right place, is preferably placed where good signal, such as the arrow in the node list is the signal strength of the router nodes.

After adding a new router to AiMesh network can be unified management by the main router, such as firmware updates, it is convenient.

In addition, the best in the [Wi-Fi] - [specialty], the area changed the [US], is said to signal will be enhanced.

Unresolved Issues

Vice-routing under AiMesh state of the USB interface either 2.0 or 3.0, when an external storage device, the main routes are not recognized by ip address can only see folders, see files, you need administrative rights to the job. Online search the next, it seems so, after seeing the new firmware will not solve this problem?
