Replied to all PMs
https://dongknows.com/asus-aimesh-setup-and-signal-handoff/ This site has a good explanation of the ai-mesh setup process and pros/cons.

Edit:
Was used to cover ~2500 sqft area, handled over 30 wireless devices actively between both units.

I am interested. Please add some screenshots of iperf3 tests. Preferably across two access points using a backhaul connection. Client1 -> AP1 -> AP2 -> Client2

I have no idea how to do this, and the units are already cleared of config and moved out of their designed spots.
These are not custom units either, and AI Mesh is well known, gigabit ethernet backhaul gives exactly same levels of performance on both nodes.
Would recommend you check reviews online to know the performance.
I can only share views from my experience with these units.

Okay thanks. I was hoping to use them with wireless backhaul.

Okay thanks. I was hoping to use them with wireless backhaul.

I have actually never tried them with wireless backhaul. It will always have the impact of some reduction in performance on the 5Ghz band. You should consider the XT8 series from Asus instead - it has a dedicated 5Ghz radio for wireless backhaul.

Okay thanks. I was hoping to use them with wireless backhaul.

Can't say about wireless backhaul but max speeds I have seen on my 300mbps internet connection with 2 routers of different companies(costing cheaper than this model but similar/bit better hardware) connected via wds wirelss bridge over 5GHz band across 1 wall are around 45MB/s(google drive so speed achieved was even more than connection speed as small ISP & traffic being CDN within India) or around 400mbps which I believe tallies with various online reviews of such budget devices.

End of Month Bump. These are in no way average routers to be compared with a 2k-3k unit.

Received locally. In immaculate condition, everything looks good. Currently deployed one, will deploy the other tomorrow. In warranty so no issues. Thanks for the quick and hassle-free deal, @axeman

 

[bornlibra23]

Please let us know if you use it for wireless backhaul.
