    drastic speed difference ethernet AP vs ethernet Aimesh

    Thanks for the tips degrub! Nice to know that it is possible to tweak the setting to eventually have seamless wifi using AP mode. I'm about to give up on aimesh. It seems like the seamlessness of it comes at the expense of stable/fast wifi. Not a tradeoff i plan to have. Once i give up on it...

    drastic speed difference ethernet AP vs ethernet Aimesh

    Hi Gustour, Yes 100%. I tried to reboot node within the router home page, and also turn off/on on the device itself... Can you double check that all of yours are on the same specified channel/bandwidth? In main router homepage, my settings are: After running wifi analyzer, these are my...

    AiMesh with two Asus RT-AC86U - router will not connect to AiMesh node

    I have an ax89x and a pair of XT8s I had a similar experience trying to get main router to "see" the nodes. Whether i made the XT8 as main router and others as nodes or whether i made the ax89x as main and others as nodes, there was no success. Tried numerous hard resets on all the devices but...

    drastic speed difference ethernet AP vs ethernet Aimesh

    Additional update: I think i figured out why the speed still varies and it's unpredictable. Found another wifi analyzer app that had more/better details. In case anyone is interested: Main problem: Unable to adjust control channel and bandwidth for nodes I realised that there is only one...

    drastic speed difference ethernet AP vs ethernet Aimesh

    Hey degrub, Thanks for helping out! If i turn off Aimesh, that means configure the XT's to AP mode right? When i do that, the speed is flawless and consistent. Always yielding 800+mbps any time of day whenever i'm near the node. Tapers off as i move slightly further away, but still 600+mbps...

    drastic speed difference ethernet AP vs ethernet Aimesh

    Yes bro, thanks again for your assistance! QoS is turned off. I think that's the default. My ISP is at 1gb/s. The interesting thing is I have 2 ISPs that i subscribe to, and both are 1gb/s. I've tested this on both and yielded similar results too.

    drastic speed difference ethernet AP vs ethernet Aimesh

    Hey Gustour, Thanks again for the suggestion! After changing bandwidth and control channel, the problem has gotten better. Although not solved entirely, the wifi speed is in a satisfactory territory now. My wifi speed using aimesh now ranges from 200mbps to 800mbps while standing next to the...

    drastic speed difference ethernet AP vs ethernet Aimesh

    Hey Leerees, Thanks for trying to help out! The nodes are in ethernet backhaul mode. I've double checked both on "global" system settings, and also on individual nodes under management tab. Regarding point #2, I've also checked that 160mhz is enabled. I'm not sure how to prioritize it...

    drastic speed difference ethernet AP vs ethernet Aimesh

    Hi again! Yes i've double checked. Router home page, click "AiMesh" on left side > "System Settings" > enable "Ethernet Backhaul mode" Compared our settings. I see only 2 differences: 1) Difference is I separated the 2.4ghz and 5ghz network > Don't think that would make a difference since i...

    drastic speed difference ethernet AP vs ethernet Aimesh

    Hi again Gustour, I tried what you have suggested: XT8 as main router, and additional XT8 as node. - Before I setup aimesh, I tested the XT8 as the main router, wifi speed is ~850mbps consistently. After setting up other XT8 as node under Aimesh and ethernet backhaul configuration, the wifi...

    drastic speed difference ethernet AP vs ethernet Aimesh

    Ah ic! Sorry maybe I wasn't clear about the SSIDs. I do separate the 2.4ghz and the 5ghz on the router and all the nodes, however, I do give the all the 2.4ghz signals the same name, and all the 5ghz signals the same name. Ex: ax89x SSID: 2.4ghz = Asus 2.4 5 ghz = Asus 5g xt8 SSIDs: 2.4ghz =...

    Hi Gustour, thanks again for trying to help out! Yes, i'm definitely on 5ghz wifi. I don't use smart connect so i keep the 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi separate.
