Additional questions –

With a Mesh router, Netspot (wi-fi tester) is showing two of each SSID, is this normal as the computer’s wi-fi is only showing one SSID? Also, if the channel bandwidth is reduced from 80 MHz to 40 MHz will that prevent the VLAN’s from operating normally? Having some wi-fi dropout issues even with the units meshed and was curious if the smaller channel size may help. I am using 149 and have some distant neighbors on 157 (their SNR is showing as under 10)

Looks like you can delete my earlier post above as I see that the VLAN’s are on the same channel as the “main” network.

One more question – should VLAN’s be on their own channel or share the same channel as the primary network?

[Montgomery49323]

if using a Mesh Router setup (2 AX1800s), does the “Satellite” unit mirror the Channel assignments, Channel size, and Power output levels of the main unit or should it be setup separately by the User?

Also, for best results, what is more important to balance coverage and speed – i.e. Channel size more important than power or vice-versa?
