Octopus Overlords

Would you like some cheap stuff because I am not as smart as I think?

I have 2 Asus RT-AC65 (AC1750) Dual band routers. Amazon ASUS They were "used" for a few hours while I tried setting up a mesh network, before I realized they are not mesh compatible. So now they are back to factory reset, except they have the most current firmware. I'm selling these for $40 each



I have one Gigabyte H370 HD3 motherboard Amazon Gigabyte it was sort of used? I tried to get it set up for several frustrating hours before realizing it was not compatible with my CPU/RAM configuration. Never got beyond post, because I didn't use the partpicker website (stupid stupid jaymon). Its been sitting on my shelf for about 2 years since then. If you want this, its $15 to cover shipping.


Alternately, in the trade department, my kids want a free standing podcast/streamer style microphone for PC, so they can do their minecraft videos or whatever. Also looking for team fortress 2 action figures, zelda games on DS, and pre-painted D&D minis.

Was there no compatibility with the Asus AiMesh series?

I think I have an older microphone lying around, I'll try to dig it up. You may need to provide a stand/arm though. Let me see if I can find it.

No the AC65 (and AC66 which I owned) were old and didn't get that support. I have two AC68/1900 models that I use for AI mesh and it works very nicely. In my current house my 2nd router is hard wired to the first which is awesome (and required since my 2nd floor has a tiled floor which apparently is Kryptonite to WiFi).

Edit to add that after I gave up on my AC66 it looks like at least one version of it was finally bestowed AI mesh support. It certainly didn't have it some years ago when I upgraded to my 68's.

yeah the AC65 certainly looks like it would have AIMesh support. Visually nearly identical to the router I already have. But alas, I didn't study the fine print, and it does not have the mesh.
