Q1:
Does the AiMesh router support Access Point mode?
A: Yes. You can choose to set the AiMesh router as router mode or access
point mode. Please go to web GUI (http://router.asus.com), and go to the page
Administration > Operation Mode.
Could I setup wired connection between AiMesh routers (Ethernet backhaul)?
Q2:
A: Yes. AiMesh system supports both wireless and wired connection between AiMesh router and node to
maximize throughput and stability. AiMesh analyzes the wireless signal strength for each frequency band
available, and then determines automatically whether a wireless or wired connection is best to serve as the
inter-router connection backbone.
1
Follow the setup steps to establish a connection between the AiMesh router and node via Wi-Fi first.
2
Place the node in the ideal locations for best coverage. Run an Ethernet cable from the LAN port of the
AiMesh router to the WAN port of AiMesh node.
3
AiMesh system will auto-select the best path for data transmission, whether wired or wireless.
