@ColinTaylor Thanks for the correction, appreciated.
@aex.perez I think you missed my point & I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to (show/tell) me.
I certainly do see a successful hardwired Ethernet connection between the RT-AX88U into TWO different RT-AX86U Nodes highlighted one says 1Gbps.
And the Wireless log 5GHz seems to show... ((Hang-on is the wording confusing some of us people.))
Channel Cleared for Radar
This likely means the channel was checked & no radar was found hence it's being used.
It doesn't mean that Radar was found on this channel recently... so it was cleared/vacated.
Anyways your screen shots seem to show your WiFi working as expected however what a single screenshot misses is...
The speeds of the Rx/Tx are not STATIC...
They will change (both up & down) accordingly as associated with network traffic & noise.
But I'm probably still missing your point.
Perhaps you were trying to show me that if your router is using WiFi Mesh it should indicate so within the GUI.
But what I was theorizing is...
Perhaps some resources are occasionally being utilized to periodically check the WiFi despite being connected via Ethernet backhaul.
(In fact) Isn't that what DFS need to do, check almost constantly?
IMO Mesh will never be able to outperform a true AP.
Because all components share the same channel, while AP's can be put on separate channels & used to their full potential.
Even if AiMesh uses hardwired back-haul, the router & nodes will still cue up their WiFi requests.
Notice how the SSID waveforms overlap...
It's very similar to sharing the channel with thy neighbors, isn't it?
EDIT: Sorry all the graphics confused me...
I understood from the previous post: You thought the previous firmware gave you better speeds & performance, right?
