BE-RT92U, ZenWifi Pro ET12, RT-AX88U Pro Aimesh

I have a RT-BE92U as my Aimesh router and 2x ZenWifi Pro ET12 and 1x RT-AX88U Pro as Aimesh nodes.

How does this mix influences the WiFi availability? I see a low strength on the 6G band even though I am only 3m away from the ZenWiFi Pro ET12 which seems to suggest my iPhone is connecting to the RT-BE92U.

Is it possible to turn off WiFi on the router or nodes if I do not want it to provide WiFi?

What is the backhaul - ethernet or wifi ?

try forgetting the wifi network in your phone. reconnect.

Client determines when to switch, not the wifi router or AP/node.

The backhaul is 2.5G ethernet.

Should be able to turn off the radios in the router then. i have not tried. If you need to do so in the nodes, i suspect you will have to convert them to AP mode and then adjust the radios.

Try, under AiMesh on the GUI, select the node you want to turn off it's radio, then on the left select Management, then down to enable radio, then toggle the radio or radio's you want to turn off on the node. At least that's the way it comes up for me and my set up
