Hi folks
I have 2x AC88u aimesh set up for quite sometime. I just got a AX55 and I thought of adding AX55 as a node to the AC88u aimesh setup, but not sure if this is advisable. Or is it better to set the AX55 as a primary router and use the two AC88u as nodes?
I wanted to upgrade to Wi-Fi 6 and shortlisted either AX88 or AX86 but worried that the difference is not much after the upgrade to AX88. I thought I can save some money by using the existing ax55. Any experts can give me some advice?
Are you using Ethernet backhaul or wireless backhaul?
If using wireless backhaul, then it is better to add AX55 as the node. But its performance will be limited by the uplink (2*2 AC 80MHz). And you can say its AX wireless capability is wasted.
If using Ethernet backhaul, then I think it is still better to add the AX55 as a node. But the performance should be much better.
