I have an AC3100 as my main router / AP upstairs and have 3x AC1900 all ethernet backhaul over the property for additional coverage. Everything works great, getting around 400mbps wireless most places.
I found a dead spot in my one area and got a deal on a AC88U/3100 extreme. I added it to my living room with ethernet backhaul but my 5G speeds went down from ~400mbps to 250-300mbps.
Ethernet connected to said router is great, 990-1gbps wired, but wireless its very erratic. speed tests jump from 400 then roll down to 150-200 then jump back up.
Since these are on a mesh node, I suspect this is interference from the router upstairs, basically the room above my living room, the AC3100. WifiExplorer shows my living room has 58dB, but the upstairs is around 40dB
is my speed issue just interference of the 2 AP being too close and on the same channel?
id LOVE to switch the node channels around, but ai mesh doesn't allow this, and having all settings through the mesh was better than setting individual APs
