Anyone figure anything else out with this? I still notice it in my log occasionally for my XT8.

Thanks. It's actually the 2.4ghz radio that I have disabled on the main router, not the 5ghz radio. I'm not really having IoT issues, it's more an attempt to control unwanted roaming. Thanks for the other suggestions. I'm already at 20mhz and wps is off. I forgot to mention, I'm using wired...

Hello. My question is about Aimesh + disabling the radio on the main router. Because of the location of my router (close to cable ISP entry point) and the node, I need to leave the 2.4ghz radio ON for my node but I would like it OFF for the router (to consolidate 2.4 devices and avoid...

Thank you!!!!!! That helped me figure out that the unknown mac was actually a school chromebook for one of my kids. I wish there was a list of all of the interfaces somewhere. I think eth5=5ghz-1 and eth6=5ghz-2. Now I know wl1.1=GUEST5ghz-1. What about main 2.4ghz, GUEST2.4ghz, and...

My unknown mac is on "w11.1" Is that 2.4ghz? Thinking maybe Amazon sidewalk, but I also have it turned off. I noticed my modem renewed dhcp. So could unknown mac just be an old device? Thanks.

Did you ever get this figured out? I'm having the same issue where I cannot uncheck DFS on 5-2 on auto channel select. So for now I'm selecting my own channel, 149. Thanks!

Thanks! I also thought it would be a good idea to put my IoT devices on the guest network. But it did not work well for some reason, maybe it was my devices. They would roam too much and I was not able to bind them on the guest network. As soon as I put them on my regular network I was able to...

Thank you!!!!

I'm not trying to constantly tweak. I'm trying to find the best solution so I can leave it alone. That's why I'm trying to think of all the big picture ideas first. I tried the default settings and it wasn't working well for me. Thank you for the information and your advice. It's much...

I used to use my old router, AC-68, with the same SSID and password for both 2.4 and 5. That router does not have smart connect so I wasn't using it. My devices seemed to do fine connecting to the right band and I didn't have any disconnects that I remember. I used an access point with a...

Thanks again!!

Thanks! Just to verify, in AiMesh, devices will roam even with Roaming Assistant disabled, there is no roaming or band steering without temporary disconnects, and a device can't roam and switch bands at the same time, correct? I'm just wondering if AiMesh is worth it at all. My old setup with...

Thank you! That info helps a lot!

Many of the devices are IoT on 2.4, which are actually working and behaving quite well. I'm just trying to figure out 5-2 for non-stationary devices. I'll figure something out. Thanks for your help and your suggestions! Have a good day!

Thanks for all that info! I can't get my nodes much further apart and keep a wired backhaul. I know I could do wireless but I really want to avoid that. It's just not as good as wired, and I would like to use the 5-2 radio. I do think I might need to move my node away from a couple devices...
