  Joshua FranklinJul 27, 2025
  If your Asus Wireless Router AiMesh node cannot be found or synchronization fails, here are a few things to try: * First, move your AiMesh node closer to the AiMesh router, ideally within 1-3 meters. * Make sure that your AiMesh node is powered on and upgraded to AiMesh supported firmware. * To upgrade the firmware, download the AiMesh-supported firmware. Then, power on your AiMesh node and connect it to your PC via a network cable. Launch a web GUI and navigate to Administration > Firmware Upgrade. Click on Choose File, and upload the AiMesh-supported firmware. After the firmware is uploaded, go to the Network Map page to confirm whether the AiMesh icon shows up.
