What do you see on the Statisic page while you have AX Mode disabled?

Where am I looking and what am I looking for?

I just found what you are referring to:

After a few days of running without AX enabled, I did re-enable AX mode on the 5ghz band only. Initially, no devices would connect to either satellite. This is similar to the behavior of the devices after the firmware updates also. I manually rebooted or disconnected and reconnected all of the devices to see if anything would connect to the satellites. Again, nothing would connect except to the router. I waited an hour or so and things started to migrate to the satellites although one satellite was reporting as hard wired even though there is only a wireless backhaul (both satellites had gone through the reconnect cycle with white-blue-off sequence. After a couple of days, the devices are distributed among the router and 2 satellites although a couple of the connects are not what would be expected ie devices connected to a much further device/through multiple walls despite having the router or a satellite within line-of-sight in the same room.

The connections have been mostly stable. I still haven't re-enabled the guest network, MAC filtering and a couple of other features. I'm evaluating one feature at a time so I'll know if there's a specific capability that is still hosed.

Turning on the AX for 5ghz brought a slight increase in the bandwidth for the 5ghz wifi and the backhaul. Neither provides a measurable speed increase at the device level since I only have 100mbs ISP around here. (might be significant for the PCs backing up to the servers, have to check timings for the backups)

5G before 1083     5G after 1201

Backhaul before 2167     Backhaul after 2402
