Hey all!
How does the Dedicated Wireless Backhaul work when combining a dual band and tri-band router?
Does the dual band router stop providing 5GHz wifi connection to devices OR does the dual band router not provide a 5GHz wifi backhaul to the other AiMesh nodes?
I have an AiMesh setup with two tri-band routers (RT-AC5300) at opposite ends of the house and one dual band router in the middle (RT-AC88U).
One tri-band router has the WAN connection. Each of the nodes connect to the main tri-band router. BUT, as I believe the dual band router in the middle of the house is not providing a dedicated wireless backhaul over 5GHz... both of the nodes connect back to the tri-band with the WAN connection.
When creating a wireless mesh, you get a dedicated backhaul over 5ghz with the SSID: "yournetwork_dwb".
The only node I have trouble with is the tri-band at the opposite end of the house - even through it has Great signal at all times. I feel there is a problem with the _dwb.
You can see RT-AC5300 says its backhaul is "_dwb" BUT the dual-band RT-AC88U is not offering that, it offers only the 2.4GHz and 5GHz to devices, and not to the AiMesh nodes - per the UI.
Here are the two networks being offered by the dual band RT-AC88U - and neither is a _dwb.
How do I make all the AiMesh nodes broadcast the _dwb?
