Q: How to Improve the Signal Quality between your AiMesh Router and AiMesh Node
A:

[Assistant]
[AiMesh] How to Improve the Signal Quality between your AiMesh Router and AiMesh Node?
To provide you more detailed instruction, you can also click ASUS Youtube video link below to know more about How to manage your AiMesh extendable network with the ASUS Router app.
https://youtu.be/nUzthFL2vRY
   The WiFi performance depends on how you place and connect your router and node.  Some commonly used appliances might be an interference to your wireless signal.  If you keep seeing the signal quality between your AiMesh devices presented on AiMesh page is weak, displaying an orange line, please refer to the following suggestions to move your AiMesh devices for a better signal.
 For AiMesh introduction, please check https://www.asus.com/microsite/AiMesh/en/index.html
NOTE: Some features may vary due to different models and different firmware versions.
 How to distinguish the signal quality in my AiMesh system?
You may click the information icon in the Web GUI to pop up the level chart or refer to picture below.
Please refer to How to enter the router setting page(Web GUI) to learn more.
 If you are using wireless connection…
1. We suggest you to locate your AiMesh router and node between 3-5meters.
        2. Try to place your router and node on flat and hard surface.
3. Try to place your node in the center of your house. The fewer the walls (and the less substantial their inner material) between your router and node, the better your performance will be. Houses with dense materials like plaster, lath, or chicken wire in the walls are particularly hard for WiFi waves. Whenever possible, aim for direct line of sight between routers.
4. Routers radiate their signal more upwards than downwards, but mostly along the plane they are placed on. It is best to place your routers at a height halfway between the floor and the ceiling, not on the ground.
5. If you are using smart connect, please try to turn off smart connect then try again.
    Please refer to [Wireless Router] How to configure the Smart Connect in ASUS Router? to learn more.
6. Try to disable the DFS channels. [Wireless Router] What is DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) and how does it work on ASUS router?
7. Try to reset your AiMesh system to default and manual set up and see if issue persist. Please stay in default setting and do not import a pre-saved setting file to prevent any possible connection issue.
8. Please try to switch the role of mesh router and mesh node then try again. (Mesh router to be mesh node, mesh node to be mesh router)
9. You can mesh up existing AiMesh routers with WiFi 7 routers. However, while enabling MLO on WiFi might cause compatibility issue with existing AiMesh nodes, If MLO is enabled on AiMesh primary router, the node without MLO will not broadcast 6GHz WiFi.
   If you want to disable MLO, log in to the ASUS router settings page, go to [Wireless] > [MLO], and click [Enable MLO] to disable this feature (enabled by default).
   Please refer to FAQ [Wi-Fi 7 Wireless Router] What is MLO (Multi-Link Operation) and how it works
 If you are using an Ethernet backhaul…
1. Check if you are using a CAT 5e/CAT 6 cable. If your cable does not support Gigabit or the cable is almost worn out, we suggest you replace it.
     Please refer to the FAQ [Wireless Router] How to check the wired connection speed and network cable specifications for ASUS Wireless Router?
2. If you use a switch to connect your AiMesh devices, please check if the cable and switch both offer Gigabit Ethernet speed.
      Note: ASUS wireless routers have different features depending on the model, before using this feature, please refer to the product specification page to confirm that your router supports the above features.
3. Try to reset your AiMesh system to default and manual set up and see if issue persist. Please stay in default setting and do not import a pre-saved setting file to prevent any possible connection issue.
4. Please try to switch the role of mesh router and mesh node then try again. (Mesh router to be mesh node, mesh node to be mesh router)

Q: How to set up Virtual Server/Port Forwarding Rules on ASUS Router
A:

[Assistant]
[Wireless Router] How to set up Virtual Server/Port Forwarding Rules on ASUS Router?
Prepare
  1. To use port forwarding on your ASUS router, your router needs to have a public IP(WAN IP) from your ISP's internet service. This will allow devices on the internet to locate your ASUS router via a public IP(WAN IP).
     If you are not sure of your public IP type, please check your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
  2. This only article applies to these models after updating to firmware version 3.0.0.4.384.40000.
    Please refer to How to update the firmware of your router to the latest version
  3. Models that do not support the way this article is set: RT-N12_D1, RT-N12VP, RT-N12HP_B1,RT-N300,  RT-AC52U, RT-AC54U, RT-AC51U, RT-AC52U, RT-AC1200HP, RT-AC55UHP, RT-AC55U, RT-N14U, RT-AC58U/RT-ACRH13/RT-AC1300UHP/RT-AC1300G+, 4G-AC55U, BRT-AC828, RT-AC1200GU, RT-AC1200, RT-N600, RT-AC53/RT-AC750GF, RT-AC51U+/RT-AC51UP/RT-AC52U_B1, RT-N11P_B1/RT-N300_B1/RT0N12 VP_B1, RT-N12+ B1, RT-N12+ PRO, RT-N12E C1.  Click here for detailed steps
 Each computer connected to a router has an assigned LAN IP address and is authorized to transfer files to each other. However, computers on a LAN connection cannot access data or devices on a specific computer thru an Internet connection. Similarly, computers connected thru an Internet connection cannot access data stored in LAN devices. Simply put, LAN computers that are configured as FTP servers cannot complete requests from the Internet.
By setting up port forwarding rules, routers will apply these rules to send requests coming from the Internet to a specific LAN device to complete each task. For example, you can set up a LAN IP 192.168.1.103, port 80, to accept external requests.
Please note that each port can only be used by a single LAN device. Two PCs cannot communicate via the same port. If you have added a FTP service using port 21, port 21 will no longer be available for the next service. Please avoid port conflicts as they will lead to rule failures.
Here is a list of well-known services with their default port numbers for quick refernce. Choose one of the services below and your system will automatically fill in the assigned port number.
          Set up Virtual Server/Port forwarding
1. Connect your computer to the router via wired or WiFi connection and enter your router LAN IP or router URL http://www.asusrouter.com to the WEB GUI.
     Please refer to How to enter the router setting page(Web GUI) to learn more.
2. Key in your router's username and password to log in.
     Note: If you forget the user name and/or password, please restore the router to the factory default status and setup.
              Please refer to How to reset the router to factory default setting for how to restore the router to default status.
3. Go to WAN  > Virtual Server/Port Forwarding >Switch the button on [Enable Port Forwarding] to ON (Default is OFF and click on “Add profile.”
    Field Explanations
External Port: This field accepts the following formats
Port ranges using colon [ : ]between the starting and ending port, such as 300:500.
Single Ports using a comma [ , ] between individual ports, such as 566, 789.
A mix of port ranges and single ports, using colons “:”, such as 1015:1024, 3021.
 Source IP: If you want to open your port to a specific IP address from the Internet, input the IP address you want to specify in the Source IP field.
        The following details how to use the port forwarding feature to set up HTTP and FTP servers.
How Do You Configure Port Forwarding for a HTTP Server?
Before setting up a port forwarding rule for a HTTP server, a PC using the Internet cannot connect to your server/PC via HTTP. Please refer to the steps below to complete the setup process.
Step 1. On the Virtual Server/Port Forwarding page, enable Port Forwarding and click "Add profile".
Step 2. Select HTTP (80) from the quick select list.
Step 3. The system will automatically fill in port 80 as the External Port and will choose the Internal IP Address. (In this demo, the Internal IP address is 192.168.1.58. Please change this to your actual address.)
Note: The [ Internal Port ] and [ Source IP ] can be left blank if they do not need to be filled in.
Step 4. Click OK. to save.
   How to Check if a HTTP Server Has Been Successfully Set Up?
1. Confirm your HTTP server is all set up.
2. You need a PC connected to the Internet instead of under LAN.
3. Open the browser on this PC and key in WAN IP of your router. If you can access the web page on the HTTP server, your port forwarding rule has been successfully set up.
 How to Configure Port Forwarding for a FTP server?
This system supports dual FTP server services. You can use "FTP" and "FTP_ALG", which can be found in the quick select list, when setting up your port forwarding rules. We have provided guides to teach users how to set up port forwarding for FTP servers in 4 scenarios.
Note: The port forwarding device can be connected to AiMesh node and all setting should be configured from primary router.
 Scenario 1: You only have a LAN PC/NAS as a FTP server.
Use FTP (20, 21) in the quick select list and then follow the steps below to add a new rule. Click here for detailed steps.
 Scenario 2: You have two FTP servers. One is this router, and the other is a LAN PC/NAS.
Please add the two rules for each server.
Rule 1 If the current router is a FTP server: Use FTP (20,21) in the quick select list.
Rule 2 for a LAN PC/NAS: Use FTP_ALG(2021) in the quick select list. Click here for detailed steps.
 Scenario 3: You have two LAN PC/NAS as FTP servers.
Please add two rules for each server.
Rule 1 for the 1st LAN PC/NAS as a FTP server: Use FTP(20,21) in the quick select list.
Rule 2 for the 2nd LAN PC/NAS as a FTP server: Use FTP_ALG(2021) in the quick select list. Click here for detailed steps.
 Scenario 4: You only have this current router as a FTP server.
You can use the default port (21) without adding any rules on the port forwarding setup page. Click here for detailed steps.
   Frequently Asked Question(FAQ)
1. Is it possible to configure port forwarding rules for IPv6, or is it only applicable to IPv4?
   Port forwarding is currently not supported for IPv6, and we currently do not have plans to support it.
 2. Port Forwarding only works within the internal network/intranet(LAN) but cannot be accessed from Internet(WAN).
  (1) First, make sure that Port Forwarding function is set up properly. You can try not to fill in the  [ Internal Port ] and [ Source IP ], please refer to the Step 3.
  (2) Please check that the device you need to port forward on the LAN has opened the port.
       For example, if you want to set up a HTTP server for a device (PC) on your LAN, make sure you have opened HTTP port 80 on that device.
  (3) Please note that if the router is using a private WAN IP address (such as connected behind another router/switch/modem with built-in router/Wi-Fi feature), could potentially place the router under a multi-layer NAT network. Port Forwarding will not function properly under such environment.
Private IPv4 network ranges:
Class A: 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
Class B: 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
Class C: 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
CGNAT IP network ranges:
The allocated address block is 100.64.0.0/10, i.e. IP addresses from 100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255.

Step1. Connect your computer to the router via wired or WiFi connection and enter your router LAN IP or router URL http://www.asusrouter.com to the WEB GUI.
       Please refer to How to enter the router setting page(Web GUI) (ASUSWRT)? to learn more.
 Step2. Key in your router's username and password to log in.
       Note: If you forget the user name and/or password, please restore the router to the factory default status and setup.
          Please refer to [Wireless Router] How to reset the router to factory default setting?  for how to restore the router to default status.
 Step3. Go to LAN> "DHCP Server" tab.
             Function description
(1) Enable the DHCP Server
     Enable the DHCP server function to allow the router's DHCP server to automatically assign IP addresses to network clients.
     If this function is disabled, you'll need to assign the IP address for your LAN devices manually.
     (2) You can name your router for clients who request IP address from the DHCP Server. It can only contain alphanumeric characters and dash symbol.
     (3) You can configure the first and the last address in the pool to be assigned by DHCP server in LAN.
      For example, if router’s LAN IP is 192.168.50.1, you can configure your IP Pool address as 192.168.50.2 to 192.168.50.254.(A total of 253 IPs)
     (4) Set the lease time that the network client is allowed to use its current IP address to connect to the wireless router.
     When the lease time expires, the network client should either renew or get a new IP address form the wireless router's DHCP server. Default is set to 86400 seconds.
     (5) You can configure the IP address of gateway in your LAN. If you leave it blank, the IP address of the router would be assigned.
     (6) DNS Server: You can configure the IP address of DNS to provide clients who request IP address from DHCP server. If you leave it blank, the DNS request would be processed by the router.
     WINS Server: The Windows Internet Naming Service manages interaction of each PC with the Internet. If you use a WINS server, please enter IP address of server.
      (7) If you want to manually assign IP for devices. Enable Manual Assignment, and then you can see device's name in MAC address. Choose the device you want to configure.
      (8) After choosing, you'll see the device's MAC address and its IP address, which is used now. You can set that IP address directly or manually modify the IP address to whatever you want.
     Then, click Add/Delete button.
