Best Practice when using Onemesh and smartconnect

2021-03-16 11:30:50

Model: Archer MR600

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.2.0 0.9.1

I've been using an MR600 with two RE305 Adapters and seem to get the best performance when using the following manual configuration rather than

enabling smartconnect on the MR600.

Set 2.4Ghz channel with 20Mhz width, and the same with 5Ghz with a 40Mhz width.
Each RE305 is set for OneMesh to be enabled.

Onemesh configuration page recommends enabling smartconnect.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the best way to setup OneMesh?

Thanks Paul

@ansellp Hello,

If your Wi-Fi connection is not that stable, you could keep using lower bandwidth to reduce some Wi-Fi channel interference.

Normally we recommended enabling Smart Connect, which will combine your 2G and 5G SSIDs to one SSID on MR600, and clients could roam faster between AP's 2 Wi-Fi bands.

But you could try and adjust according to its real performance.

@Solla-topee is smart connect the same as 'band steering' in other vendors? So will that mean that all Onemesh devices will use smartconnect if i set this on the MR600 router?

Thanks Paul
