Network performance problems with Asus Zenwifi XT8 device
Hi everyone. I've been using the Asus zenwifi XT8 for some time and have encountered a few problems. To give you an idea, I have two units in AiMesh, with the primary node on the ground floor and the secondary on the second floor, connected via a dedicated 5GHz wireless backhaul. The main challenge I'm facing is that when I move between floors, the connection switches from the top node to the ground floor node, but the speed on fast.com drops noticeably. In my device settings, the reported speed is 1.2Gbps, yet the router configuration shows the handover to the ground floor node. This discrepancy disappears when I disconnect and reconnect, restoring much faster speeds. I'm still trying to figure out why this happens, especially since the issue disappears when switching nodes rather than just moving within the same floor. Any insights would be really helpful.
Execute the speed test via speedtest.net and dslreports.com. Is this consistent across all client devices? Are there options to adjust power output per antenna on the XT8?
