XT9 wifi agile multiband in Ai Mesh?

[0ID]

Should I turn on wifi agile multiband in XT Ai Mesh system?
It says Multiband but settings are available separately for 2.4 and for 5-1 + 5-2 (smart connect) pages in wireless general settings

I would like to use this function ONLY in 2.4 GHz band for only one IoT device - a robot vacuum cleaner handled by two iOS wifi 6 devices.

Doing a bit of research I feel that enabling wifi agile multiband will not improve the connection or the roaming. The robot vac uses its internal guidance and only communicates with the phones as needed.

Thank you, but I expected an answer from somebody ho knows... and this is has nothing to do with phones.

Its about the switching between mesh nodes, I already changed the roaming assistant from -70 to -60dBm but still wont switch to a node with much more powerful signal

Well, you did mention two iOS devices. And those could be phone's, tablets or iPods. And those will connect to either the 2.4 or 5 GHz bands.
My experience with AiMesh is that messing with the default settings makes things worse.
You will learn this from experience. But, one thing that works is to set the 2.4 GHz to 20 MHz bandwidth.

If you would read my entire post, you'll find out that Im talking about 1 (one) vacuum cleaner in 2.4 band and 2 devices used to control the robot from WiFi6 - 5GHZ. Please stop replying.

Do you actually need AiMesh? The vacuum cleaner should change to the node when it deems it necessary. Changes to wifi settings probably won't make any difference or will make things worse - especially if you have two APs with largely overlapping zones.
Try turning the router's wifi power down to "Balanced" on all bands.

Given choices, the client decides where to connect. What you may realize with a 2.4 client is that it is perfectly happy staying connected how it is no matter other 2.4 options... that is its choice by its design/build/quality. The 2.4 signal with the longest wave length travels far and penentrates well... if your client is happy and working well, what is the issue with it not re-connecting to a different AP?
