Using Asus Mesh with BT Business Complete Wi-Fi Plus

pjbee — Fri, 22 May 2026 15:36:35 GMT

I have a working Asus Mesh system with an Asus Zen Router behind a BT Superhub2 set up in bridging mode acting as a modem. It works.
I was recently persuaded to renew my business contract and was tempted by the provision of six Business Complete Wi-Fi Plus mesh repeaters, did I misunderstand? Maybe as I only received one repeater. One or six it only matters if it works, was also encouraged to believe it, the BCWF Plus would work/integrate with my system. No luck so far, searching for the mesh repeater's default IP I find 192.168.1.254. With a dedicated cable just to the repeater and re mapping my network to the same 192.168.1 I cannot connect to it - I cannot get into it to see if there are settings available to work with my Asus system?
Can anyone point me into the maze?

Thanks very much if you can.

Hello,

Asus routers use a proprietary protocol called AiMesh to communicate with their nodes. The BT repeater is designed specifically to mesh with BT’s own Smart Hub business routers. Even if you manage to access its interface (which is locked down to auto-configure with BT hardware), it won't talk to your Asus Zen router.

Best Regards
