Guys, I received a waybill number like this CNMYG = GDEX. How do I track the progress of my shipment? Taobao tracking stopped upon arrival at the warehouse. Thanks.

Does anyone know how to change region on AiMesh node? Seems like only main mesh router changed but the nodes still operates in China region resulting in the channels being different

Did you stay on China region for both or did you changed region? I am still not able to change region on the AiMesh node so the node will run in different channel setup if attempt to use different region

I cant remember did I change the region. But so far so good.... I'm having full 5G signal in my bedroom at downstair.

What's the max 5ghz speed you're getting eh on speedtest.net. I'm thinking of resetting my router soon as speeds like capped at 400mbps when my unifi is 800. I'm guessing it is due to mesh. Before I setup mesh my laptop was able to get 600+

About wifi 5GHz, it's hardly to get full speed by connecting directly to the device itself. However, you may easily to get full speed by connecting to an access point router which attached to LAN socket of your main router.

I have the same experience with my RT-AC86U. When my iPhone connected to main router, no matter how many times I do speedtest and server was changed to Telekom Malaysia Berhad. I still only can get 430~450mbps. Never get 500mbps or more than it.

However, when I was plugged a RT-AC55UHP directly to my RT-AC86U main router and make it as access point. I can easily to get 490~510mbps on my RT-AC55UHP. Which is the speedtest result get from the 5GHz of my access point (RT-AC55UHP).

In this situation, the performance is performed by my RT-AC86U but wifi is connected to my access point RT-AC55UHP. I only can use this method to get my wifi speed max out to 500mbps.

This is the results tested on my RT-AC55UHP (access point) since my main router (RT-AC86U) never able to reach to the maximum speed. My main router is placed on the upstairs because the TM fiber is coming from the roof of my home upstairs. My access point is mainly used in the living room, so this is the most commonly daily used router. That's why actually I not really care about what is my main router wifi connection speed.

I'm experiencing the same. There's something wrong with the firmware lol. Max speed from ac86u on 800mbps unifi on wifi is around 350-400 on Pixel 2 XL. On Mesh mode, similar result.

Since it is meshing on 5ghz, then the entire network is capped dy to 350-400max

I still can't find a way to change the region settings on aimesh node for China 86u. So if I were to change main mesh router to Region Singapore for an example, the node will remain at China region.

The only reason I wanna change the region is due to the channels for non China region are better. Rest, all functions are similar. It is fine for those with 500mbps Unifi but for 800mbps, sticking to all on non China bands would be better for performance on all nodes.
