Strange issue with aimesh

Why is the transmission value so low with the aimesh node? Do I have to change any parameters?

thanks

It is weird, I agree. Maybe it's just a cosmetic bug.
Can you test when you have a client doing traffic attached to node? Is speed an issue?
I would suspect speed is not a problem and Tx rate will increase at that moment.

It isn't uncommon for a "client" do move to a low rate when there's no traffic. But that's mainly true for a battery powered device. A node should not.

 

[doc octopus]

unfortunately it is not a cosmetic problem, the speed is really low and at the end the node goes offline.

 

[Grisu]

make a setup as AP for testing, is it that low without Aimesh when you can set node (AP) WiFi independently?

 

[drabisan]

Hmm
RX vs TX 6.5M 1300M
Something is really weird!
How about taking the node offline and having a laptop on that spot? What's the speed laptop measures and what's the speed router measures?
Or try @Grisu's idea.

I used the node as the main router and continue to have problems on the 5 GHz band. I also tried the Merlin firmware but I did not solve the problem.
Request replacement.

Could you send feedback with system log, wifi log by feedback function ?

 

[doc octopus]

I sent feedback via email

 

[arthurlien]

I sent feedback via email

I don't received. Could you send by feedback function ?

 

[doc octopus]

I tried to send the log through the feedback page but it was not successful
can I send the log via PM?

A lot of ISPs actively block port 25 (in Canada, that's the vast majority of them, unless you are on a business service), so that Feedback page probably doesn't work for a lot of people...
