@Amine wrote:   @Luke7777  The USB3000 does not connect to the weaker node at all.. it only connects if the signal is high.. with the wire it goes up to 80 Mbps download   The issue is not wiring th DSTV, the issue is why the USB3000 is not deticting the other mesh nodes like all the wireless devices... Sorry, thought it could connect to the weaker one. As I've said before, unless someone here is able to test the USB3000 in a mesh setup, I don't think you're going to get that resolved. Just looking at the lack of MC responses in this thread, don't look for tech help there either...   Even if you do manage to get it connected, the chances of it being stable is slim, since it seems to be a hit and miss situation.  Have you tried contacting TP-LINK , to see if they can shed some light on the issue ? ...

When you're connected to the 'weaker' AP, what's your speedtest from the Explora ? And when you're wired ? Keep in mind that that the Explora can't go above 100Mbps .  Best speedtest I could get was in the high 90s.  So even if you manage to connect to the best AP, the Explora is still going to be your bottleneck. I doubt very much that you're going to resolve your issue here, so either live with the weaker connection or just go the wired route. ... View more

The mesh is actually its own SSID. My main is wired to the router, no SSID applicable since I disabled WiFi on the router. No reason to confuse the mesh or the people in the house :)  Al 3 my APS share the same SSID, handover between them is seamless.  If you look at the attachment, that's my full network. The office one is the main one, hence the little internet icon there ... View more

@GeoffD wrote: So why is OP having a problem?  It is just a matter of selecting the right one then.  So what do you do when changing between routers? Just select it or do you have to enter a password again?   There's a difference selecting between 2 routers with different SSIDs and 2 APs on the same mesh . Jan is on the first option and OP on the 2nd. ... View more

@GeoffD wrote:   3. Try and switch ON only the closest AP  that you want the decoder to use. See if the decoder now "detects" that device only and if you can at least get that far in the setup process. Then switch on the main node and see if you can complete the setup process now with the RF path established already via the closest AP. It is a long shot I know, but worth trying. MC has chosen to take ALL direct configuration access away from the user on the USB 3000. Nothing we or you can do about that aspect.   Point 3 will be difficult as that is not his main node, connected to his router. Main node needs to be up first for the others to start chatting.   Again, with the close proximity between the AP and the decoder, stay with the wired connection.   /edit..  have never tried try to connect to one of the other APs with the main down, so I might be wrong in my assumption ^^^ ...

You can't dictate to a device which AP of the mesh to connect to. The mesh decides that. I have similar 'issues' where a device won't always connect to the closest one. One would think that a device will be picked up by the closest one, but it's not always the case     ... View more

@Amine wrote: Hello Luke   Thanks for the reply. I don't want to run  the cables on my house that the whole reason why i got the DECO M9 Plus to run everything wirelessly, currently i have my iMac connect with the cable in the study and i have connected the DSTV also because the second node is by the TV since there is no solution yet to that wifi problem.     I hear you , but since you indicated that the decoder and the AP is very close to one another, wired will always be the best option.   On a side note, not sure why your router is being picked up. Wifi should be disabled on it and all your wifi traffic shouild be via the mesh. That might also resolve your connector issues  ... View more

I'm running a mesh (Airties 4920x3) , with WiFi disabled on my router. First AP is wired to my router, rest is obviously wireless.  I've chucked the DStv Wifi thing (1st edition) in the virtual dust bin and just run a wire from the decoder to the closest AP. In fact , I have a 8-port gigabit switch connected to that AP, to which a number of entertainment-related devices are connected (decoder, xbox etc.)    Whenever I had issues with the WiFi connector, I connected it to a laptop (with wifi disabled on the laptop) and then set it up manually from there. Always worked, but a pain in the ****       ... View more
