AiMesh node receiving same SSID on both bands

shaangor

New Around Here
I used to have 2x RT-AX89Xs in an AiMesh configuration that worked great. Recently I upgraded the main router to a GT-AXE16000. I tried setting up one of the AX89Xs as a node under the AXE16000. It sets up fine, but it gets the same SSID for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. I have tried multiple ways and don't know why its being setup like this.
  • Smart Connect is off on the main router. The bands each have separate SSIDs.
  • I have tried factory resetting both devices. They are both running up to date firmware.
  • I have tried setting up the node with WPS on and off, no change. Neither with setting up from the main router interface, the node interface, or the ASUS Router app.
  • I can confirm the 5GHz band from the node is broadcasting the 2.4GHz SSID using Wifi Analyzer, as I see 3 total 2.4GHz networks but only one 5GHz from the main router.
Anyone know why the node is inheriting the 2.4GHz SSID as the 5GHz SSID, instead of the actual 5GHz SSID? Is there a way to configure it directly on the node?
