Well I just started using a GT-AX6000 as my main router, with an AX68U to extend wifi in my home. Currently I have the AX68U as a mesh node via wired backhaul. I'm curious though would I be better off running the AX68U in AP mode, and not as a mesh node?
Reason I ask this, is I do like as much control as possible settings wise. Also just a little while ago, I disconnected my phone from my wifi, was near the AX68U, reconnected my phone to the wifi. However mesh showed phone connected to my main router. Which I found odd. I don't mind both routers running the same SSID's. I thought about Roaming Assist, but I swear trying it in the past it didn't do well dropping devices when they dropped below a certain signal level.
Main thing I'm looking for is wireless settings to maximize wifi throughput. Also having my devices connect to closest router especially when first connecting to the wifi. As I'm pretty sure speeds will be better off when connecting to a router that's 10-15 feet away, vs a router 25-30 feet away, with a wall, or two in-between. So how, and what wifi settings do you all here like to run on your Routers/AP's?
