    XT9 AiMesh roaming trouble

    HA! Except they are country coded as DE. So maybe they aren't driving on the right side afterall ;)

    XT9 AiMesh roaming trouble

    I actually have it set to Fair currently, with OFDM 6 Multi cast rate (seems to help?? but not sure how necessary this setting is). It actually did roam for me once under these circumstances, but going to continue testing how consistent it is.

    XT9 AiMesh roaming trouble

    I live in the UK. No idea what that means for power allowance Well I have 1GB coming in, and under power saving settings I was still hitting 800mbps up and 700 down on 5GHz-2. But as we discussed, I don't exactly have the technical experience so I have no idea if that even matters. 5GHz-1...

    XT9 AiMesh roaming trouble

    You perhaps are right. The issue is I don't have ethernet access to the middle floor of the house, so setting up the router there would be more hassle than I'm willing to go through. As mentioned, 2.4ghz + 5ghz-1 roam completely fine. Maybe a case of disabling the 5ghz-2 band altogether and...

    Thank you so much for lending a hand!

    XT9 AiMesh roaming trouble

    I stumbled into some mac terminal commands that supposedly changed the wifi join preferences which didn't seem to help either. Im truly stumped. Maybe time to re-evaluate. In theory, would I have been better off with a pair XT8's? Seeing as they are said to have a lesser coverage/range...

    XT9 AiMesh roaming trouble

    As expected, setting the tx power to "Balanced" and using Roaming Assistant does not work. Macbook will not roam on 5GHz-2 with these settings

    XT9 AiMesh roaming trouble

    Apologies, I'm still learning. For someone on the lower end of the technical know-how, could you explain what that might mean exactly? How that would effect particular tasks or usage? Running speedtests show top speeds still, but I'm sure you'll tell me there's more to it than that. I'll give...

    XT9 AiMesh roaming trouble

    So had a bit of time to setup the node in AP mode and do some more testing. I have managed to get the roaming on the 5GHz-2 band working somewhat reliably. The catch is...it required me to set both units to Tx power "power saving" and "OFDM 6" Multicast rate... Are the downsides to running...

    XT9 AiMesh roaming trouble

    Hmm. Well, thanks for the assistance! Will give AP mode a shot and report back

    XT9 AiMesh roaming trouble

    This is actually one option I was thinking to try, but considered wether it would actually make any difference? And what benefit would I lose out on by not using AiMesh? I would have to factory reset the node and set it up as an AP, while the main router is turned off, correct? FWIW I live in...

    XT9 AiMesh roaming trouble

    Understood. Is the "Fair" setting okay or is "Balanced" recommended? Have tested lower multicast rates of OFDM 24 and OFDM 12. Neither seemed to help at all. I have no idea what gives when the other bands work completely fine.

    XT9 AiMesh roaming trouble

    Thanks will give that a go! Certainly not a networking expert, but with a bit of research and a detailed enough guide, I'm comfortable tinkering around. All research I've done has led me to believe that it isn't possible to change the macOS threshold, however. Will dig further down the rabbit...

    XT9 AiMesh roaming trouble

    Just about at my wit's end trying to figure this out: I Have a pair of XT9's connected via wired backhaul AiMesh at opposite ends of the house (1 downstairs + 1 up 2 flights of stairs.) and am utilising the 5GHz-2 band to connect my wireless device (macbook pro) as that is what is giving me the...

    Does WiFi TX Power Setting Sync to AiMesh Nodes?

    So is there a straight answer to this question?
