Hi there,
I have signed up for Maxis' 30MB plan. I was thinking of getting ASUS RT-AC51U+ to replace Maxis' stock router. I was wondering, for the setup, is it similar to Unifi, or is it setup differently? |

Hi there,
I've just recently purchased a Zenwifi set. After setting it up, I was impressed with the performance and have upgraded the firmware to the latest one. However, now I noticed that almost all my devices are connected to the node/unit which is further from the main hub/unit. For example, the main unit will be 10 feet from me and the node is like 18 feet away from me. Yet, the device will connect to the node instead of the main unit. Even my TV which is less than 2 feet away from the main unit will connect to the node which is 15 feet away. Is that normal? Thank you. |

QUOTE(ASUSmy @ Mar 5 2020, 02:12 PM) Hi ericwidaz, Thanks for the explanation. Usually, all the devices connected to the node will be about -56dBm. But what's interesting is that a device which is stagnant in place, let's say a TV or a security camera, will connect to the node, rather than the main unit which is relatively closer.When you move around your house and go to your room, the second unit will be nearer? You can use the ASUS Router APP to check which unit are you connect, and in order for your devices to disconnect and connect to the nearest unit, the signal must drop until certain dBm. The default dBm for the devices to disconnect from the ZenWiFi is -70dBm. If you are using Android phone, you can use app like the WiFi Analyzer to check the WiFi signal strength. When you mention "main unit will be 10 feet from me and the node is like 18 feet away from me", maybe is because the signal strength are still strong from the node. Thank you As long as it does not congest the node and slow things down, I'm happy with the Zenwifi. |
