I have a mesh network with 6 XT8 nodes , mainly due to thick walls with metal net in them.
I.e. i need to do some radio planning to get a nice thruput on some nodes.
Like this example where 4 had great signal from 3 as well as 6 sees 5 with great signal. 2,3,5 sees 1 with a nice signal.
1 ( main ) - 2 ( satellite )
1 ( main ) - 3 ( satellite ) - 4 ( satellite )
1 ( main ) - 5 ( satellite ) - 6 ( satellite )
Unfortunately and still if i have explicit set these uplink nodes ( and based on popup help message )
After a reboot its kid of random how 4 and 6 are connected, and it never gets corrected.
I have no issue if for example if 3 is still booting when 4 is up and 4 selects 1 as example.
But after a while this should correct itself if i understand the help messages and really this should not be that hard to have working.
I.e. when 3 i up and is connected to 1 and is stable 4 should select 3 as uplink.
I have 2 different installations , both behaves in a similar way, i.e. does not obey the configurated uplink mesh node but rather random selects the node ( like it would do by te automatic setting )
No.. Ethernet is not a possibility..
How do i report this as a bug.. ( i have tried ASUS support in Sweden but they just claim that the function does not exist )
Most likely a non common setup but as it looks like the XT8 system have the configuration there for a reason it would be nice to have it working..
Attached 2 pictures to show what i configured for one mesh node and what really happened..
