What you meant pairing? Use it as AP?
yes, currently using ac88u as main and ac1200+ as AP. both using same ssid for each band so switching between rooms still quite fast but with mesh enabled should be better.

Hi all,
I am considering topping up to get the ASUS RT-AC88U when I contract the 1gbps fibre broadband service with M1 next month. I currently still have the Dlink DIR 865L router from starhub and am considering using the Dlink either as an AP or wireless repeater/extender.
First of all, as I am quite a noobie to this, can the Dlink router be configured as a AP or wireless extender and if so, are there guidelines to configure the settings?
Second, I read for an AP, it must be connected by cable to the AC88U In my apartment, there are already ethernet ports in some areas of the house. Can I make use of these ethernet ports to connect my Dlink to the AC88U? If the Dlink is used as a wireless extender, then will the speed from the extender is slower than if it is used as an AP?
Thanks.
about six months ago i signed up m1, paid $180 for ac88u, still unopened, don't they have later model now?Hi all,

Looking for a router to act as an ap for my 4rm flat. I am going to put it in the middle room.. which will be a good and budget option.. ac1200g+, ac58u or ac53? My main router will be ac88u.

I was on a very cheap budget so I experimented using Xiaomi router on my parents house . Need to flash the firmwre to become englisb. Cost less than $20 from q10. It's not a gigabit but works like a charm. Not recommended for those with 1gbps connection
which one you go?
AP connected via LAN or?
Hi, just wondering if anyone have experience this before. For some reason, my 2.4g light is blinking but i can't seem to find the network. Usually we are able to see two different SSID the 2.4g and the 5g. But i can't seem to find the 2.4g, and i have set both the wifi SSID different. I also have reset the router settings but still the 2.4g is still missing. Any kind soul mind helping?
I'm currently on M1 1Gbps plan, using Asus AC87U that is connected via Ethernet cable to my PC. But my flat has Wifi deadzones and I'm thinking of recontracting with M1 to get the free Lyra Mesh.
Does the Lyra replace the AC87U or used together with it? I see the Lyra specs are max speed 867Mbps, so does that mean if I connect my PC to it (via ethernet) I won't get as fast as the AC87U for downloading?
Is this considered Ethernet backhaul? Can I get a router and connect to multiple lyra thru Ethernet?To get 1gbps bandwidth you must connect to the primary node. If not you won't get full bandwidth by connecting to secondary nodes when it's on wireless backhaul..
it should be default settings.
This the settings for the 2.4g
Wireless Mode - Auto
Channel bandwidth - 20/40
Control Channel - Auto Current Control Channel: 10
Extension Channel - Auto
