doomigee2 Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 Further information: Great condition access point, perfect for increasing wifi signal. Has 5 Ethernet ports as well as the ability to extend existing wifi without creating a new ssid. Simple to use and can be setup with the press of a button. Still have the box and willing to post.

doomigee2 Posted March 14, 2020 Author Posted March 14, 2020 yes and no... aimesh basically turns the “slave” router into an access point and extends the wifi network. Same ssid and seamless switching for the devices - they automatically move from one router to another based on signal strength. the rp-ac68u already does the same thing as it isn’t a router, rather an access point, without the need for aimesh. but it can and does integrate into an aimesh network. I currently have 2 ASUS routers running in my home - rt-ac88u as the master and rt-ac5300 as slave. I also had the rp-ac68u setup as part of this network, but the wifi strength is so good from the other 2 that it isn’t necessary. So that’s a long way of saying that it can integrate into an aimesh network, but the rp-ac68u itself cannot be turned into an aimesh slave (or node as they are called) as it already is one.
lonewolf Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 That's what i am unsure of, if it supports devices moving from one router to another automatically based on signal strength. I have 2 asus routers and was looking for a 3rd as I have double brick and hence signal does vary from room to room.
doomigee2 Posted March 14, 2020 Author Posted March 14, 2020 Yes, it will do that. What are the asus routers that you have currently?
lonewolf Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Sorry mate, missed this, They are Asus RT-68U and Asus DSL-68U

I could be tempted to sell my rt-ac88u as well as the access point if you want a big step up.
