AiMesh analyzes the wireless signal strength for
each frequency band available, and then determines
automatically whether a wireless or wired connection
is best to serve as the inter-router connection
backbone.

Follow the setup steps to establish a connection
between the AiMesh router and RP-AX56 via
WiFi first.
2

LAN port of the AiMesh router to the Ethernet
backhaul port of RP-AX56.
