In theory, a single solid router should solve all of your Wi-Fi woes. But real life is messy. A wall, electronics, or furniture is enough to deflect radio signals and create Wi-Fi dead spots.
One way to solve these Wi-Fi dead spots is with a Wi-Fi mesh system. In case you haven’t heard of them, a Wi-Fi mesh system is a pack of Wi-Fi devices. One serves as a router, while one or two other serve as ‘nodes.’
Instead of using a single router to try and cover a home, a Wi-Fi mesh system uses nodes spread throughout the home to distribute Wi-Fi. These systems often work well, but they can get expensive.
ASUS AiMesh unlocks the power of mesh
ASUS AiMesh does something rather clever. It is a technology that enables existing ASUS routers (selected models) to create a Wi-Fi mesh network, no hardware upgrade needed. All you need to do is to install a (free!) firmware upgrade.
ASUS AiMesh currently works with these ASUS routers:
RT-AC68U
RT-AC68U V2
RT-AC86U
RT-AC88U
RT-AC5300
ROG Rapture GT-AC5300
