I was pretty sure that AiMesh should help keeping existing connections alive when I switches from one AiMesh node to another, but seems like it doesn't work as I expected. If I do the following:

  1. open, let say, ssh connection being connected to the AiMesh router
  2. move to the bedroom (another AiMesh node)
after that the ssh connection always broken. The same if I run games like Clash of Clans, etc - switching node causes disconnection from the game server.

I'm wondering if missed something or this an expected behaviour?
If this is an expected, well... I had the very same behaviour with my previous configuration - no AiMesh, two routers with the same SSID name. What's the difference then?

Well, I've enabled it... then disabled. Now re-enabled again - visually, the phone switched AiMesh nodes almost instantly, but it doesn't help to keep an existing ssh connection.

May i know which model/FW version you are using now ?
 
Thanks! That works and now I'm able to switch AiMesh nodes without disconnection.
What is the magic behind this option? :)

According the issue in NAT acceleration, we are working on it now and this is a template solution.

The main router, the one running the DHCP server, just needs to have NAT hardware disabled. The AP's don't change.
