Devices don't switch between router and satellite
does anyone else fail to have their devices swap between router and satellite? i swear this used to occur seamlessly out of the box, but after a couple updates i can literally start right next to...
I'm having the same issue. Bought the devices new a couple weeks ago, starting with v1.9, then updated to v1.10, same result. I also tried the v1.11 beta firmware but the main router is rebooting every 10-15 mins, so I had to revert back to v1.10 to make it stable, but the not switch issue still exists. As a matter of fact, some devices won't even connect to the satellite even if it's right next to it, they will just connect to the router no matter what.
This is some what frustrating.
Also, how do we tell if the device is connect via 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz? From some older screenshots, I see they show under attached devices, but with the latest firmware, it just show wireless.
- Go to the debug page and enable telnet
- Telnet into the router
- Execute the following:nvram set enable_adv_attached=1
nvram commit
- Exit telnet- Go to debug page and disable telnet
Thank you! It worked.
