wax630E poor mesh topology
I have 4 WAX630E units in fairly close proximity to each other set up in a mesh system.
Initially I got the mesh topology to be all green ("excellent" connection between the units) but lately I get mostly"fair" connection between units to sometime "good". .
Nothing as far as the physical layout has changed and really I cannot understand why the connection between the units vary from time to time and how do I get to improve the connection?

The 4 WAX630E are set up as one central unit PoE as the root and the 3 other units are just extenders running off the network from the root
Hi,
Please check the band on which MESH link is established.
From Insight -> Devices -> MESH Topology page, please set the preferred Root for each extender manually (the nearest Root AP) and set 5GHz as preferred backhaul link.
Please make sure each Root node is operating on different channels.
Warm Regards,
