    Mesh connectivity vs setup question

    Glad to hear, thanks for reporting back. Now, perhaps an RF network expert here can explain the latency you were experiencing on wireless backhaul, despite plenty of throughput.

    The issues with AiMesh

    Try moving the Dot further from the wireless router, which seems counterintuitive, but some client devices need more moderate RSSI for some reason an RF engineer may be able to explain. :) Roaming Assistant also did not seem to help transition my phone across my AiMesh nodes, though I was...

    The issues with AiMesh

    In fairness to Asus and AiMesh, I should add: I could probably have fared well enough with AiMesh if I wasn't frequently strolling around while on VoIP and video calls thru my smartphone, indoors and out, or streaming Internet radio and TV (fwiw, even a few seconds of buffering in those apps...

    The issues with AiMesh

    Hi OE, you're quite right, and I failed to mention that I *might* be experiencing an .11r incompatibility with one of my Foscam wifi cameras, although I've been able to get an identical one connected to the M9 mesh, so have some further debugging to try. I also should mention that with 802.11...

    The issues with AiMesh

    TL/DR: Abandoning AiMesh, achieved whole-home, real-time happiness with TP-Link Deco M9+ three-node mesh, while retaining Asus as wired router for AiProtection, web UI, and more. ------------------- After an additional week+ giving AiMesh one more chance, using my budget RT-AC66U B1 as primary...

    Mesh connectivity vs setup question

    Hi there, I am on day one of a 3 node M9+ mesh myself, using wireless backhaul in AP mode (still using an older Asus as my main router). I'm not seeing any lag or throughput issues, runs very snappy on my Android phone, in fact I just measured over 200 Mbps via one of the secondary nodes, which...

    The issues with AiMesh

    My situation isn't worth lots of time or cost, it's just an irritant when on VoIP or streaming. I can disable WiFi Calling on my phone, or even just switch off WiFi and use my unlimited 4G no problem. Really just an inconvenience, and disappointment that AiMesh isn't really "mesh" like for me.

    The issues with AiMesh

    I've recently tried TP-Link Deco M9s (US$199 3 pack bundle from Costco), and they roamed seamlessly only after turning on 802.11r, which is off by default for compatibility with older WiFi devices. Even just one Deco M9 delivered very strong signal nearly covering my home and yard. But...

    The issues with AiMesh

    Hi Levahj, thanks for replying. Very timely, since just today I reconfirmed that running just my RT-AC66U B1 performs (far) better than that plus my Blue Cave as an AiMesh node. Handoff between those two was frequent as I roamed thru my house and yard, and interfered substantially with Zoom...

    The issues with AiMesh

    Interesting, I've read posts elsewhere (perhaps your own) that AP mode has worked better than Aimesh for some, so may give that a try. What's frustrating as I've been testing several real-time streaming apps (Zoom, CNN, Facebook Messenger video calls, etc.) is that it sometimes hands off fine...

    Wifi calling and AIMesh

    Hello, I'm curious to know any updates from anyone on this thread? I'm a new Aimesh user with RT-AC66U B1 (main) and Blue Cave (node) experiencing roaming handoff problems, with or without Roaming Assistant enabled, and whether I use common or separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSIDs. Specifically...
