Should I disable Mesh

Hi

 

I have 3 WAX610 in my house and they are all connected via POE back to a switch. Should I be disabling the mesh setting in insight since they are all hardwired back to the switch?  I would think this would make the most sense but wanted to check before making the adjustment.

 

Thank you

Brian

  • Something to try and see how they work with MESH disabled if thats an option. 

  • The mesh allows devices to roam seamlessly. Why would you want to disable it?

      In automatic mesh mode it doesn't seem to associate the devices correctly(root/extender).  If I assign them and get them running it's fine but if I lose power and they come up out of order they literally go in an endless reboot process until I manually change the order they boot in.  I don't think they should do this but that's what has been happening.

        Hi bcre3306,

         

        Since all 3 WAX610 are connected via wired connections, enabling Mesh Mode on Insight isn't necessary. Mesh Mode is typically used to extend WiFi coverage beyond the range of a single AP without the need for additional cables.
