ASUS Router GT-AX6000 and mesh access points
Hi everyone, I just bought the ASUS Router GT-AX6000 for WAN aggregation using Dual WAN ports. I have a few questions: a) Does this device include load balancing? b) Can I connect my AiMesh access points to it? c) If I use those access points, should I disable wireless on the router or can it work with AiMesh nodes? d) Can I link a PC via Ethernet to an AiMesh node and then connect that node back to the router? Is that possible? I’ve heard some reports that connecting a PC through a RJ-45 cable to AiMesh might disrupt the whole network. Any tips would be super helpful! Thanks ahead!
Review page 82 of the guide. Examine the AiMesh articles provided here. Certain setups perform better than others. A wired backhaul provides optimal results. Please consult the manual starting from page 54 onward. Asus offers an FAQ section for AiMesh on their website. The short answer is no, you don’t need to disable WiFi on the main router. The network will rely on WiFi for client access since you’ll be using Ethernet backhaul. Again, refer to your manual. Every Ethernet port on a node functions as a wired connection and will match the speed of the weakest link. You’re employing Ethernet backhaul according to your design. It seems unclear why this would be necessary. Feel free to test it yourself to verify functionality. If successful, revert any changes you made. This underscores the value of reviewing the DongKnows articles. AiMesh has evolved through multiple generations, and certain combinations tend to work better. Ideally, all components should be from the same generation. If you’re unsure about the generation, using several Asus wireless routers with AiMesh support should generally succeed.
