Hello all, I have the ASUS ZenWifi AX - XT8 as a replacement for an Orbi RBK50 system.
I have a 2900 SQFT 2-story home, and usually have both routers upstairs, and a receiver downstairs in my home theater area. I would have the Master router in my upstairs office, and the slave device 15 Meters/50 Feet away in the master bedroom so they would both blanket all parts of the house descending down and up.
My issue is that although this new router is supposed to be superior, I would have connection issues between the two. I would have an RSSI of -66 between the two units when it was using the 2.4ghz lane as an uplink between the two.
Yesterday I changed the settings, and for a little while it was using the 5Ghz-2 dedicated backhaul, but it regressed back to using the 2.4ghz as a backhaul.
So this time I used the apps advice, and place the slave router 5 meters away in the adjacent room, and although it has a great connection, it's now using the main 5Ghz band instead of the DEDICATED 5Ghz-2 backhaul!
This is annoying me greatly as the point of this damn router was to have a dedicated backhaul for Mesh purposes, but now I have two routers that are pretty much close to each other and a 3rd band that's not being utilized. I feel like I'm missing something?
