help ASUS AiMesh Compatible Access Point (Budget Model) FAQ
What is an ASUS AiMesh compatible access point used for?
It is used to improve Wi-Fi coverage in a specific weak area by connecting to an existing router. A wired Ethernet backhaul is preferred because it carries network traffic to the access point without consuming wireless capacity between the units.
Does an AiMesh access point replace the main router?
No. An access point normally extends the existing network while the main router continues to handle internet access and routing. Some ASUS models can also operate as AiMesh nodes, depending on their firmware and hardware.
Does the access point need a wired Ethernet connection?
The described budget setup is designed to use a wired backhaul connection. It needs an Ethernet cable back to the router or network switch, which is especially helpful in a dead zone separated by walls.
Can this ASUS access point provide Wi-Fi 6?
The exact wireless standard depends on the model selected. AiMesh is a platform feature, not a guarantee of Wi-Fi 6, so the product specification should be checked for 802.11ax support.
