Hey everyone. I have a few questions I'd like some of you experienced with to help. In my home, I have two ASUS XT 8 devices—one on the ground floor and another on the second floor. They're linked through a wireless backhaul setup. I've noticed that when I move from the second floor down to the ground floor, the connection stays strong, but occasionally the speeds drop until I switch off my Wi-Fi or wait a bit. I think this might be related to how the network switches between nodes. When I change from the second floor to the ground floor devices in the router settings, it shows I'm connected to the ground floor node with very fast incoming speed but slower outgoing speed. Is there anything I can adjust to fix the handoff issues, or any settings I should tweak? Maybe I'm misunderstanding something. Thanks!

Can the system function correctly when just one router is active? Should these devices operate across multiple levels of the building?
