Hi, I’m preparing to improve your Wi-Fi coverage and speed inside your home. Your current setup uses a Huawei HG659 modem linked to an Asus RT-AC88U router. You’re thinking about replacing the Huawei modem with a new one—ideally an Asus model—to take advantage of the AiMesh feature, so you could use just a single dual-band network name. I’m also curious if an Asus DSL-AC68U can function independently without relying on your internet service provider’s modem (the Huawei HG659). Since you’re based in Australia and have read concerns about Asus modems with NBN Fibre to the node, I’d appreciate any advice or guidance. Thanks!
That depends on the ISP. If they permit customer-owned modems or gateways, it could function. Certain ISPs offer a compatible device catalog detailing all approved models.
