Looking for some general info. I have a xt8 paired with another xt8 in aimesh and a plug in aimesh dual band node. This setup works just fine for me, with the typical issues of band steering etc.
I recommended my friend who was having all kinds of issues with his network to the xt12. Hes got a decent number more nodes, and about 200 devices that connect vs my like 80-100. After some tweaking to get sonos workings everythign was fine. Then all of a sudden a few months later the speed dropped a lot. Every node was only getting like 25mbps when doing speed tests. Hardwired it was pulling the full 1gbit down.
He read that adding as RT as the router would improve his situation so he bought one. Plugged it in and speeds are back being just as fast as they originally were.
Does this make sense, do we think it was a software issue with the XT12s, does adding an RT besides the few extra features make aimesh better? I know the software is a little different between rog / rt and the XT series. Just trying to understand, im now eyeing a wifi 7 router once the new iphones are announced with wifi 7 chips.
