Thanks for the feedback!
I'm having difficulty keeping all my smart home devices connected including a couple cameras. They are all on my 2.4GHz channel.
I think i'm going to make a seperate post with my settings and ask for advice.
Appreciate it!
2 4GHz doesn't generally handle wide channels as well when you have neighbours around like it seems you do, and you already have devices with signal issues. You likely just need a second access point wired to the first (or backhauled on 5GHz)
I have the two APs mentioned - WAX615's, one on the 1st floor, one on the second. Should I mesh them? Currently the both broadcast the same:, one SSID on 5GHz, oneon 2.4GHz.
Mesh them!
