Hi everyone - new to the forum and a proud owner of 2 new ASUS routers.
Currently I have the following setup:
Thanks in advance for any help that is provided!
Currently I have the following setup:
- Gig fiber (with Bell from Canada)
- 3 Story House (w/ basement) - roughly 1,000 sqft per floor
- Network Set Up
- Modem --- Cat6 ----> AX88U (Basement) --- AiMesh with Wired Backhaul via Moca 2.5 with Cat6 --- AX82U (2nd Floor)
- Merlin installed just on AX88U (since not available for AX82U)
- AiMesh and guest wifi enabled
- Roughly 40-50 devices on the network simultaneously (with the majority being IoT devices and the rest being phones / laptops) - all IoT devices are on guest network
- General network speed - when I do speed tests, I'm getting the following:
- Modem --> 1gb down, 800mb up
- AX88U --> 700 down, 500 up (via wifi - about 5 feet from the router)
- AX82U --> 500 down, 200 up (via wifi - about 5 feet from the router)
- Intermittent drops (on both nodes)
- No idea why this is happening but the issue is as follows
- Devices (confirmed on android phones and a macbook) will lose internet every hour or so despite being very close to the router with full bars - wifi still shows as connected but internet just stops working completely
- Quick reconnect to the wifi will instantly fixes the problem immediately
- No idea why this is happening but the issue is as follows
Thanks in advance for any help that is provided!
