BE92u/AX92u in mesh

[Dilbert]

Hi, I’ve been running 6 AX92u’s in a stable mesh for years, 2 wired (~900mbit/100mbit) and 4 with wireless backhaul (~450mbit/100mbit).

For reasons that I’m now regretting, I picked up a couple of cheap BE92u’s that I intended to replace the wired units with.

After a few oddities setting them up (and multiple hard resets!), I managed to get them up and running but the nodes all star-connect from the main router, regardless of what settings I change or which preferred uplink I specify.

The problem is that a couple of the nodes are too far away from the main, so they are generally connecting at 2.4ghz with RSSI’s of ~ -92dBm. This gives a poor throughput and regular disconnections.

When I take the BE92u’s out of the mix, they connect as expected.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks.

Probably because your mixing be wifi with ax wifi, and Asus are still working out the kinks with be class routers, any possibility of moving to ethernet backhaul ?

I’ve disabled all of the WiFi7/6ghz gubbins and it’s still not working properly. Unfortunately wired backhaul isn’t really feasible without hefty cost and disruption. I think I’ll just revert back to the AX92s. Thanks.
