Hi .
I have 4 Asus Routers connect via AImesh.
1 is hardwired and 2 are wireless to the main Router.
That part works OK.
My SSID on the main router is MYOFFICE
When setting up e.g. a Camera 'outback' I get 3 or 4 MYOFFICE SSIDs and therefore do not know which router is closest to the camera !

Can I change the SSID on each Router (eg Bed, Laundry, Kitchen) so I can connect the cam to the actual mesh router that is closest (and not guess by looking at signal strength - which does not work).
 
No.

The only adjustments I can think:

o Disable Smart Connect and connect to band-specific SSIDs;

o Use less nodes and/or separate the nodes farther apart for less signal overlap;

o Try Wireless\Roaming Block List (I have not). Edit: And another function just mentioned here in another thread... see AiMesh\node\Client List\client bind-to-node option, the chain/link icon.

o Evaluate signal power at the client location and adjust Wireless\Professional\Roaming Assistant RSSI threshold to encourage the client to roam to the better signal.

I would do the first two and hope to not experiment with the last two.
