Google does not always respond to pings. Your other equipment may rate limit pings as well.

Pings to my gateway (2x XT8 running AP mode standalone) from my phone have gone variable, from 3ms to 30ms. Jitter is 11ms, average 15ms. Performance doesn't feel much slower, down throughput is still good ~550mbps, up throughput might be a little lower than before ~350mbps vs 400-500mbps.

I don't think that works. I don't think you can configure one of the 1gbps ports to be the WAN interface. If you configure the units as AP mode (standalone, no nodes) then they bridge all the ports and you can use the 2.5gbps port as a switch port. You'd lose all routing/qos/firewall in this...

I use termux on android.

My hidden SSID did not come back after a reboot.

I changed the orientation of the node to cover the area where I notice the issue more. It's now lying on its side, hopefully better signal in the vertical axis now. I haven't had the issue come back up, but it's only been 2 days since a reboot.

This is what is currently on my AP mode "node". I'm running as a wired standalone AP mode, so your backhaul might be on this ssid? Not sure the behavior there.

I think I had to nvram set wl2.5_bss_enabled=0 and delete the wl2.5 from br0_ifnames and lan_ifname, then nvram commit then reboot

This is an issue I see with the newer beta firmwares. I had to either restore from a backup or ssh and do a bunch of nvram set judo to get them to go away.

I enabled roaming assistant last night. It did not kick me off of my wifi, but usually this problem arises after a few days. Hoping it's fixed!

Here's what I've found regarding the zombie networks. At some point a firmware update disabled the clearing of nvram for the higher-numbered "guest" SSIDs (wl[#].4-5). I spent a good day trying to flash firmwares that would clear them. I finally just ssh-ed into the node and cleared the setting...

I've been having some roaming issues to one "WAP" on one wifi band. I have a linux router running ubuntu and two XT8s running independently in AP mode as my WAPs. I have manually assigned non-overlapping channels and low interference channels from my neighbors' wifi networks. Both WAPs are...

None of these methods reset my node completely. Somehow, at some point, the wl2.5 BSSID with MAC address ending in "d" was enabled and hidden. The /data/.kernel_nvram.setting file had the line wl2.5_bss_enabled=1. No factory reset procedure would set this to 0, or change any of the wl2.5*...

I installed this firmware on a 2x xt8 system individually configured as AP mode. Rc9 gave me decent wifi performance (iperf3 to local wired server) both up and down, but rc10 has markedly lower upload throughout. ~100-120mbps instead of ~400. Download has dropped but not as much. Used to be...

How does roaming go with WPA3-personal? In my experience, WPA3 breaks the "decent" roaming AiMesh provides. Anyone tried out WPA3 and AP mode out?
