EAX15 ...I have all green lights and then sometimes they go to red on the Client Link LED
I use a RAX41v2 with the extenders....So I have some cameras and TVs on the Extenders and one is set to Mesh and one set as extender.... They Both do it at times and go from Green to Red and I hav...
When its the client link led, its just telling you the link between client (device) and the extender. The problem with using that metric is that you might have 10 devices connected to the extender but it can't display the link speed of all of them, just one of them. Its not a good metric.
Log into the actual extender using its ip address and check the connected clients. some might be linked great, while others are further away and have a poor link speed.

Agreed.

You can also check the quality of the connection using your phone. Disable mobile data during the test, and connect to the extender wifi. Go to the location of each client device and measure the speed with the ookla speedtest app. Or alternatively look at the RSSI using a wifi analyzer on your phone.
As I mentioned above, the mesh config is tricker because it uses the same SSID as the main network. Still, you can focus on clients that are distant from both the main router and the mesh extender, as those are the ones most likely to switch back and forth. Likely that would be one of the outdoor cameras.
