I have an asus GT-AXE16000 and two rpax-58s with wired backhauls. The two rpax's occasionally decide to switch to a wireless backhaul for a while as well. I was wondering what is going on at a networking and radio level on this network when a wireless client (my iphone for example) moves through the house and goes from from being connected to one rpax to being connected to another rpax, or just ends up connecting to the gt-axe. I thought I understood it reading about channels, where multiple 2.4ghz or 5ghz devices on the same network will occupy different channels to avoid overlap, but then I downloaded wifi analyzer and noticed that all the 2.5ghz traffic (20+ devices) is on channel 8! I've read that nodes on a mesh networks use the same channel, and this seems strange, like there would be a lot of overlap and errors in transmission, plus I can't see how one node would know if the client was talking to it or another node, and I cant see how the clients would know either. Mysterious!
Can anyone suggest some reading on how this all works at a technicsl level? Or if you have an answer in mind, I'd love to read that as well. The network works great, but I just can't picture HOW it works. I find the idea of all these little conversations and calculations and exchanges taking place in my house to be very interesting, and would enjoy knowing how they work.
Thanks
