Aimesh bad speeds when reconnecting to main router

[Erikx]

So I'm running aimesh with 2 ac68u nodes and 1 ax58u as router. If I go to 1 node and gets connected to it and then go back in range of main router, i then get 3-50 up and down. If i turn on and off my wifi i will get 250-400up and down. This is really frustrating, any idea why this happens ? Only happens when i go from node to main router.

Also sometimes 5g network from aimesh nodes isnt available, any idea why that might happen ? They are all connected via ethernet.

Your device may be physically in the range of main router, but remain connected to the node. Most Apple devices are "sticky", for example, they tend to hold the signal even at very low levels. AiMesh doesn't support any real mesh roaming technologies, it's like adding Access Points with more user-friendly management. And a fancy name for marketing purposes, of course.

I use wifi analyser on my android phone, and it is connected to another macid so should be the router I'm sure of

You are not the first who reported this problem, cant remember any resolution. Only general hints (factory reset and so on).
Have an eye on free NVRAM, might be a reason.
