AI Mesh For Multiple SSIDs

[nathanielct]

Greetings - I have a ASUS RT-BE88U router and have multiple SSIDs (1 main network, 1 IoT network, 1 Kid's network - on this router) and would like to extend the reach/coverage in my house of my main network along with my IoT network. Can I extend the reach of both networks with buying another single ASUS router - ASUS RT-AX1800S (with ethernet backhaul) and setting up Asus AiMesh or does that only work with one SSID? I've read that it's best to use another identical router model for the AiMesh but I can't afford 2 of my main router. Any advice on how to extend 2 (or all) of my network SSIDs would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

If you limit your networks to AX mode it should extend both networks.  It should, barring any bugs in the implementation/firmware.  I hope it's understandable that you won't be able to extend a BE network without a 2nd BE capable router.
