Took my setup Primary 86U and AP 68U with ethernet connection and converted it to AIMesh. Primary motivation was to have more seamless transition for cell phone while doing WiFi calling. In some limited testing, that did seem to work reasonably well.
BUT: First anomaly that I saw was that clients (my laptop) which should of just stayed connected to the the 68U (as it had a much stronger WiFi signal) was switching back and forth from the 68U to the 86U and then back again. Not frequently, but don't know why it should have happened at all.
But the killer was my Samsung TV. It is ethernet connected to the 68U. I have never had buffering issues with the TV before. Tonight, for the first time, about 3 times, Netflix is giving me hassles with buffering, and then TV says it lost internet entirely. Reboot of 68U brought things back again.
So, as my wife asked me (she being very perturbed by all this), "so, you tried to fix something that wasn't broken?" And she was right.
So, removed the 68U as a mesh node; and restored the system settings that I had saved, and am back to where things were.
