Thanks for reporting the speed issue you're experiencing with the Onemesh upgrade, but honestly, the Onemesh firmware has been released for almost 2 months, and we actually haven't received the significant speed drop due to this upgrade. We do receive some customers report the speed might be limited to 100 Mbps as we posted here, but that can be confirmed by some users that it is due to the Ethernet cable.

 

Anyway, if you have returned the AX11000 already, you can wait for the replacement or repair first, but do let me know if there is still an issue with the speed when you receive the replacement, we will investigate and provide a solution.

@Kevin_Z Just a quick update after a few months of stability......still working well and no major dropouts apart from -->

 

If you at any time reboot the main AX11000 router, then when it comes back online the nodes connect but always drop the 2.4Ghz band (that LED is no longer lit on both nodes and they both indicate 0Mbps data transmission on that band).

This is the only way to fix it (luckily easy to do):

 

Do NOT go into the RE-605X settings (leave them as they were), navigate to the AX11000 settings page instead.


Advanced Tab -> Wireless -> Wireless Settings -> "Turn OFDMA OFF" -> Save

** Navigate to another menu item entirely (e.g. HomeCare -> QoS, but any other one will do)

Navigate back to Wireless -> Wireless Settings -> "Turn OFDMA ON" -> Save


** For some reason, if you don't navigate away from the OFDMA menu it will never complete the save when you turn OFDMA back on - it will simply keep spinning forever. You have to navigate away from the sub menu into another one and then go BACK into the wireless OFDMA sub-menu again in order for the Save button to work again.

>>>I would recommend against using SmartConnect - as above, everything on manual Um, no? The router I have (AX1800) says OneMesh REQUIRES Smartconnect

Great to hear from you after all this time.

As regards the problem you mentioned - I simply follow the router reboot with a reboot of both my extenders (I use the RE550, much more stable than the RE505X). Works like a charm.

 

Cheers!

@spacecat 

From what I know, OneMesh DOES NOT require SmartConnect to be turned on, irrespective of TP-Link router.

And yes, I would absolutely advise against using SmartConnect, not worth the hassle IMO.

@Maciej Hello again. Glad to hear your reboots work. Unfortunately on mine it doesn't work for me - I have to specifically go through the motiuons of disabling and reenabling OFDMA in order to get the 2.4GHz bands functioning again.

On a plus note though, it's not frequently I have to do this and otherwise the network apopears stable yes

Of course, stability is everything.
