My setup is 2 RT-AC86U routers in AiMesh, ethernet backhaul, taking most of the defaults including the "Dual Band Smart Connect". So it's using the same SSID for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. I just upgraded to the latest firmware today: 3.0.0.4.386_40451
What I'm noticing though, is that wireless devices, which are connecting to the remote (non-main) AiMesh node, are always connecting to the 2.4GHz band, even though they are literally sitting right next to the router. I notice that most of the wireless devices connecting to the main AiMesh node, are choosing the 5GHz band. Is there something I have configured incorrectly that is making these other devices always use 2.4GHz instead of 5GHz on the remote AiMesh node? Both are newer laptops, a Lenovo and a MacBook Pro, which I know have 5GHz WiFi support. Or is this possibly some ASUS bug where clients are only choosing 2.4GHz on remote AiMesh nodes?
