I built an AIMesh system composed of an AX58U main router, and an AX56U mesh router. The location has service that is 80Mbps down/10Mbps up.
The backhaul is wireless. With a good wired or wireless connection to the mesh router, I get about 78 down /8 up, and in the worst locations where we desire Wi-Fi, I get around 25 down/5up from the mesh (could not get any service with just one router, so the Mesh is useful and desirable). I can live with that.
Because of house setup, the router is on one side of the house, the mesh router on the other side, and there are a bunch of users in-between, which have the potential for being “big” users, in this case 4K streaming TVs.
Most of these users are equidistant between the Main router and the mesh router. And I’m observing that they are all connecting to the mesh router vs the main. Not sure how much it really matters, but I’d think that the fewer hops the better.
So I’m curious if there’s a way to allocate at least the TVs to be permanently connected to the main router, not the mesh.
Thanks!
