    AX88U and ZenWiFiAX nodes in AiMesh poor performance

    Primary router is AX88U backhauled to one ZenWiFiAX ethernet and 5G backhaul to second ZenWiFIAX and wireless bridged to 1800S (remote). WiFi has been dropping once a week requiring reboot on main. The Zen backhauled on ethernet no longer connects to port and defaults to 5G wiFi backhaul. The...

    ZenWiFi AX (XT8) LAN ports disconnection

    One of my XT8 routers in Ai Mesh to RT-AX88U connected by ethernet backhaul downgraded LAN port connections from 1G to 100 Mbps after 10 months. Then a couple weeks ago, all the ports disconnected. All firmware is current and up to date but now the router only works by WiFi (2.4g and 5g). Is...

    Speed Bottleneck on Aimesh

    No chance. Verified gigabit port on both bridges and POEs are gigabit. I did test the 100 Mbps ports on bridges to see if there was a mix up or defect, no. I think I may have narrowed the issue but testing will determine. The Cat 7 cable/connectors to the bridge units are rated 10 G and triple...

    Speed Bottleneck on Aimesh

    Certainly you have a good suggestion but there is a great risk involved. If the manufacturer does not have an AC/DC power unit for the antennas they also will not provide specific power needs for the units. Finding a 3rd party power adatpter that matches those unknowns is risky due to possible...

    Speed Bottleneck on Aimesh

    Thanks for the ground explanation. However, I'm connecting a wireless bridge of 400 ft LoS. Grounding the Cat 7 cables that supply POE on each end should not connect a ground current loop. I will try inserting a POE+ pass through grounded surge protector (lightning) between the bridge antennas...

    Speed Bottleneck on Aimesh

    I just read in another two forums that people claim Cat 7 cable has to be grounded or it only connects at 100 Mbps. (Odd since Cat 6 UTP, Cat 6 STP and 6a S/FTP all connect at gigabit speed just not 10G Base T.) Anyway, my UeeVii bridge connected with Cat 7 SFTP has no ground connection to POE...

    Speed Bottleneck on Aimesh

    Another piece of the puzzle. A customer on Amazon responded with this about the CPE-820: "We are using cat 5e cables with a 1 gbps router and we are seeing transfer rates of 450-500 mbps." So it must work as described.

    Speed Bottleneck on Aimesh

    Cables are fine when connected to other 1G ports and devices. Also swapped cables between 5E, 6 and 7, all show same result. Unfortunately the UeeVii bridge does not have power cord/module capability, just POE. And others who tried skipping the POE injectors for their POE switches/routers could...

    Speed Bottleneck on Aimesh

    Indeed. I'm way ahead of you. Since UeeVii always shows the setup topology with LAN connected to bridge rather than data over the POE connection, I assumed they supplied 100 Mbps injectors. So I looked it up and they claim the injectors are 1 GbE with fall back if using the 100 Mbps port...

    Speed Bottleneck on Aimesh

    I currently run an ASUS Aimesh LAN using RT-AX88U (main) with two nodes ZenWiFi and one RT-AX1800S. Backhaul is ethernet. The 1800S is remote connected by UeeVii wireless bridge CPE-820. ISP speed is >1 GbE, modem is 1 GbE and all nodes connect at 1 GbE except the bridge which connects at 100...

    AX88U Crashed only reboot would fix

    Had similar issue with my Aimesh main (AX88U). Problem was ISP. While the modem was connected and passed signal, the ISP had an interference problem that degraded the signal. The AX88U is rather sensitive to the quality of the WAN input from modem. I was not getting a signal within spec so not...
