    Hi oldguy, At the moment the wifi speeds on our 2 main laptops are good, reading between 42 & 47Mbps so I am at a loss as to what to do; return them or keep them and hope that future firmware releases fix these problems.

    Hi oldguy, An update on my laptop which was performing very badly before the change of the 2.4Ghz band to a bandwidth of 20 Mhz as per sfx2000's suggestion followed by a network reset. I have not had either my laptop or my partner's laptop allow to connect to the 5Ghz bandwidth anymore. Both...

    Hmm. Don't see the option for auto wireless backhaul selection. This is what shows on a node for AiMesh Management: Ran the Ookla speednet Test and I got 55.66Mbps Download and 19.62Mbps Upload which correlates with our 50/20 internet plan so no problems there. Regards, fbagnato

    Hello again, That all makes sense but I can't see how my performance would be affected as bad as it is. Here is a photo of my Imesh topology: As you can see there are 0 clients currently using Master Bedroom and Tia's bedroom. A speedtest at the moment returned 14Mbps on my laptop and...

    Hello oldguy, Thanks for your reply. The mesh nodes are connected to the primary router wirelessly (I just added Mesh Nodes through the configuration utility. > If they are using wireless connections the RT-AX-89X is only a dual band device which means that the backhaul will share the 5GHz...
