Here is my setup. I have 2 ax3000 running Merlin's fw. My home is a 2000 sq ft 2-story ( no basement) townhome with quite a few neighbors. I have my main router upstairs next to my Verizon 5g cube. Verizon cube is in a pass-through mode hard-wired into the main router. Upstairs I have TV using Google Chromecast wirelessly as well as my son's laptop and his tablet. Also hard-wired into the main router a printer, my work laptop, and home server. On the main floor, I have a Smart TV, Xbox, and my laptop and my wife's laptop. Xbox and Smart TV are hard-wired into 2nd router. Right now I'm running 2nd router in the mesh node. I see that sometimes my laptop is connected to it but sometimes it connects to the upstairs main router. I'm wondering I should just run the 2nd router in media bridge mode and be done with it. I had this setup when I had AC68 in media bridge mode as I couldn't make a mesh node out of it. It wasn't stable.
What do you guys think?
Thanks
