Hi!
I have been running AiMesh happily since some time this summer. For the most part very stable, and I appreciate the improved performance around my house, as well as the simplicity of management. I like robust internet, but really don't like to tinker. Not educated enough, and not enough time!
Recently had stability issues (main router disconnecting periodically), probably because I did not factory reset when upgrading my firmware. This suggests to me that even though some people report no issues, it's a good idea to do a factory reset when upgrading firmware, at least until AiMesh is more stable.
I have been following the "best practices" settings I found from threads on this forum-- but many of those recommendations are from when AiMesh was in its early days. I'm wondering if these are still good choices:
Because I was having trouble with clients sticking to the 2.4GHz network, even when there is a better 5GHz connection available, I disabled Smart Connect. I am using two different network SSID's, for 2.4 and 5.0GHz networks, and let clients choose based on their preference. (That also allows me to keep certain devices in 2.4GHz, leaving 5.0GHz for preferred devices.) I have disabled airtime fairness on both 2.4 and 5.0, and disabled roaming assistant on the 2.4GHz network.
Any thoughts?
Thank you all in advance!
