Hi

Thank you for the WAN DNS Server tip, I’ve updated the DNS servers.

I tried reverting the fireware back but had the same issue, when the AX5400 is in the aimesh, the wirless MAC filter seems to be ignored.

For anyone else, I did manage to get this to work:

  1. I powered off the AX5400 child node from the aimesh, leaving only the main XT9 running
  2. I enabled the MAC Filter first on the 2.4 GHz band with the Accept mode
  3. I then enabled the MAC Filter on the 5 GHz-1 band with the Accept mode
  4. Powered on the AX5400 node
  5. Finally I also enabled MAC Filter on the 5 GHz-2 band with the Accept mode  (this is my backbone band used for the aimesh)
    (for this I had to get the MAC addresses of the child AX5400 node from AiMesh->Network and added them to the Accept list)

I’m not sure why, but when I also enabled the MAC Filter on my backhaul/backbone 5 GHz-2 and added the MAC address for the router and the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wifi networks, it now seems to work as expected.

Thank all for your help and advice,

Kind Regards,

Taha
