Hi, I have an RT-AC68P and an RT-AC68U. Currently, I have the RT-AC68U set up as the main mesh router and the RT-AC68P as the Node. They are connected via wifi. It show 2.4G under the AiMesh column under Network Map tab. Is that right?
1. Having learned the P is better hardware than the U, should I swap their duties?
2. If I look at the Network Map I can see the AiMesh Node: go from 1 to 0 every ten seconds or so. Does that mean it is disconnecting/reconnecting?
3. I have noticed, all my 5G capable devices only connect to the main router. Shouldn't they roam to the Node when they are far from the router and closer to the node?
4. Should I use the same or different SSIDs for the two bands? I currently have different SSIds for different bands.
5. Use Roaming Helper or not?
6. After a few days the connections start to fail, so I set up a daily reboot. Does the router and the Node reboot on schedule or just the main router? Does it even matter?
7. The routers are approximately 15 ft apart with clear line of sight. Too close?
