I have quite literally NEVER been thwarted by a new gadget purchase until today. I build my own computers, have a NAS media server, configure an on-site video-surveillance server, customize unsigned Windows drivers; you name it. So it is extremely frustrating not to be able to get this extender to work. I love my AC87U router, which serves as the back-bone to my home network, but this damn extender will not connect to it no matter what I have tried. The old N300 TP-Link Extender worked just fine, but it was slower, and I was looking to upgrade through-put. Should I just get a higher-end TP-Link? Asus, you want to help a loyal customer out? I've dumped at least a grand on various motherboards and networking devices in recent years, and want to believe the the inter-connectivity of your products would likely make for a better ecosystem, but it it's this prohibitively difficult to get working on the initial setup then to hell with it. Thanks. Edit: 9/21 I had a little more time to sort everything out over the weekend, and was finally able to get this to work. @Joan, yes, my router firmware is up-to-date. I update it whenever I get a notification that there is a new firmware. And I check often enough in the course of network monitoring that my response time is pretty good - within probably a week of the release of new code. What seemed to be the problem was the WPS connection, and as luck would have it, part of the impetus in getting this extender was the acquisition of a much better modem that would support Docsis 3.1. Having installed that, I necessarily rebooted the router in the process, and lo and behold, the WPS connection between the router and extender finally worked. I have to say though, not having a backup option to WPS seems frankly: lazy. That it works now is not to say it wasn't without issues. The time this thing takes to come back online after making changes to the SSID of the extended network and its adherent passwords is embarrassingly slow. Similarly, I can only get most devices to connect to the 2.4 GHz channel, and not the 5 GHz, despite allegedly supported devices at the higher frequency. But despite my previous ire, I'm not here to nitpick. It works for now. Streaming video is flawless (at 1080p, though I don't expect much more from an extender). In testing, it struggles with streaming games over steam link and GeForce @ 1080p, which was not a problem for the primary router, but that was admittedly hard-wired. I moved the steam link to the room now covered by the extender in the hopes I could broaden the scope of cross-home gaming. Again, not trying to be too critical. I probably need to wire a connection for intensive usage like that, so no biggie. Just trying to give an honest assessment of performance. The 2.4 & 5 bands issue is an annoyance, but not one that brings any functional problems, so I will up my review to 4 stars. It works. Just a pain getting it there.

Connects to my AiMesh network and seems to work well. I had trouble connecting to devices in my garage and right outside the garage. After setting it up, I was getting much faster speeds and better connectivity, so it seems to do the job well enough. Setting it up as a WiFi extender was super simple. The Asus Extender app was easy to use and let me configure the networks, choose which network to extend, and I was able to connect within a few minutes. However, as others have noted, it's a pain to set it up as an AiMesh node. The instructions are horrible... Even after following them closely multiple times, I was unable to find the node to add to my AiMesh network. I've spent hours just staring at the screen where it's looking for nodes only to find that it can't find any. It took me a while, but I eventually figured out how to get it to connect. The key to setting up the AiMesh node for me was to connect the repeater to one of my connected AiMesh nodes with an ethernet cable. Once I connected the ethernet directly, the network immediately found the repeater as an addable node. I added the node, waited for it to finish setting up, then disconnected the ethernet and moved the repeater to the garage where I wanted it set up. It took some time for the unit to start up and connect, but once it did it connected automatically to the AiMesh network via WiFi. For some strange reason, the instructions state that you should setup through WiFi before trying to use an ethernet backhaul, but I decided to just ignore that since the instructions weren't helpful anyway. Clearly the instructions are NOT accurate and do not help much when attempting to setup a new AiMesh node. I have absolutely no idea why the instructions don't just suggest that you try plugging in an ethernet cable to set it up. Hard to say whether there's something wrong with the product or if I did something wrong as I see many reviews where people are saying it was super simple to setup an AiMesh node. I was right next to one of my nodes, but I was a bit further from the base node, so it's possible that need to be right next to the base node for it to find the node. Either way, I think it's worth a shot to get if you need another AiMesh node as it seems to do the job well! Just try having it close to the base node or use an ethernet cable to get it set up.

Kind of a flaky setup, I use mine on my back porch and our pool house as well since I have a blower system on my Big Green Egg and a FireTV on the television. The wifi is strong and it does connect to the ASUS AI Mesh router. I have pretty good Internet access at 80 mbps download speeds. The problem, however, was a strange one so I turned it off until I need to use it. I just let the percolate prior to yesterday. I have a Raspberry Pi 400 connected to my network. I use Pi-Hole as an ad-blocker. Over the past week, Pi-Hole has been quitting for some unknown reason. I've been re-booting it, I tried re-installing Pi-Hole making sure that the updates were all present. It kept quitting, reviewed the logs, nothing wrong. The one thing I used to notice with my old Raspberry Pi and Pi-Hole (before it broke) was that I was seeing a whole lot of DNS queries coming from these two repeaters in my back yard. The same was true for this new one. I don't have any clients on the repeaters, they're just plugged into the wall and I'm seeing a tremendous amount of queries. Why would this product be capable of looking for DNS servers local to my house or on the vast Internet I wondered? So yesterday I noticed an alert at the top of my Pi-Hole administrative console which said something like "IP address 192.168.0.147 has been rate limited because the number of DNS queries has exceeded the maximum 1000 in 1 minute. What the? This repeater was doing a DoS attack (Denial of Service) attack on my Raspberry Pi and it shut the service down. You know, ASUS is a Chinese company an I'm wondering if there's a connection. Anyway, walked outside, turned them both off and this baby's been running perfect for over 24 hours. Problem solved.
