Nodes won't connect at one location
I have TWO MK60 3-node mesh systems, one at home, one at a local garage. Both have firmware v1.1.7.134_2.0.65. Both have worked flawlessly for many years. Then we had a storm. My home system was fine...
That's my thought as well. I did put one node on a backhaul line for a moment to confirm that worked. But on wifi, it doesn't matter if they're 2-inches apart or 10-feet apart, they just won't connect to the main node (at the garage). The interference would have to be pretty severe for wifi not to travel 2 inches, but I guess that is possible. What app/device would I need to check for interference in this situation?
I'm not even sure because it could be a wide band interference.
got a backup power supply? Kill power to the garage and run the system off the backup power supply. See if something didn't get fried (like a microwave) that's sending interference.
does your phone hotspot have issues if you try to connect something to it in the garage?
Yes, I have a Flex 1500 Power Station I can use if we turn the power off to the Garage ... which I may try this weekend.
The wifi from the main node seems to work OK, just not between nodes ... that's the weird part.
