    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    And then this happens. There are 16 devices connected to the network, a mix of IOT, phones, laptops, and A/V. Most aren't doing anything and not using much (if any) bandwidth. So why are downloads seemingly hitting a wall at 500Mbps?

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    Meaning what? That's the entire problem. Clients that say they're connecting with 160MHz bandwidth (I'm in a semi rural area without DFS interference) and with 2Gb+ port speeds are barely getting 500Mbps to the Internet.

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    RT-AX88U Pro not the older model. Has two 2.5Gb ports, one for WAN and one for LAN, and when using AIMesh, the WAN port is the backhaul port.

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    The first test is a client using wifi connected to one of the mesh nodes connected via the 2.5Gb WAN port, through a 2.5Gb capable switch. The wiring in the house was run by an electrician and some of the jacks were punched down by the fiber install tech. No crossover cables used, and all...

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    Weird, so now I'm getting more upload than download. At the main router, the testing still shows full provisioned speed both up and down.

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    Walkout basement on partial concrete foundation on slab. Standard stick framing. There’s no way the router in the basement which connects to the ONT could service the 2nd floor. I have the 2nd floor mesh node connected in my media room, via wired back haul to the basement router, and my TV, A/V...

    Not to be rude, but did you read any of my posts in the thread?

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    The Comcast scenario was at my old house. We just closed on a new home with 3 stories and 5600 sq ft. Doing what you said is an option but I wanted to keep 2.4 for IOT and other devices that don’t need high speed. I also like the Smart Connect roaming. My iPhone now is maxing out the 80 MHz...

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    I used to use 2 separate networks for 2.4 and 5GHz, but decided to try one SSID and smart connect because of the mesh and IOT devices. I had better client perf with my Comcast connection and one router.

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    No change. Tried “auto” as well and same behavior. Both wired and wireless clients get about 500Mbps up/down. QoS is off. WTF? My bandwidth has increased and my clients are getting less throughput.

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    I don’t have Ethernet backhaul enabled. Figured having wireless backhaul as a failover would be a good idea but can’t try it. Using the switch is the only way to get 2.5Gb LAN speeds between the devices. Otherwise one of the devices would be limited to 1Gb which at this point I guess they seem...

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    Interesting thought. I don’t think the issue is LAN related but I can check. So what does AI Mesh give me that running them as pure APs wouldn’t. One thing I can think of wireless backup for backhaul, if the switch fails, but that’s a tiny risk. I do like the consolidated logging and client...

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    3 node AIMesh RT-AX88U Pro using wired backhaul with 2.5Gb ports through 2.5Gb switch (link status shows 2.5Gb). FTTH connection is 1.5Gbps. Using Smart Connect and the wireless log shows on the router shows 160M connections on 5GHz with 2Gb or better port speeds, yet speed tests through the...

    RT-AX88U Pro Hardware revision changes?

    Folks, I was merely giving the OP the info that I received hardware rev 1.0 with a recent purchase, not complaining that they were “old” units.

    RT-AX88U Pro Hardware revision changes?

    Just bought 3 new RT-AX88U Pro units for our new home that we’ll be closing on in a couple of weeks. They were all manufactured in 2023 and are hardware rev 1.0.

    AI Mesh using switch?

    So if I configure exactly like this diagram (borrowed from another post), does that switch need to be dedicated for mesh traffic only?

    AI Mesh using switch?

    Any issue using a switch to connect wired backhaul from router to 2 mesh nodes?

    What firmware for AI Mesh

    Was there supposed to be a link?
