I removed the three ET12 nodes, but it made no difference. I also made sure EBM was switched on. There is also a new option in ‘System Settings’ called ‘AiMesh node Ethernet auto setup’ but I have no idea what it does and it is not referenced anywhere in the manual. I couldn’t even find anything in a Google search. When I checked the iPhone ASUS Router App, I found all the BT8s ‘Backhaul Connection Priority’ were set to ‘Auto’, so I changed them to ‘2.5G WAN Only’. However this still made no difference even after restarting the main BT8 router.

I am considering disconnecting the main BT8 router, powering down all the other 8 nodes and factory resetting the main BT* and then just setting it up on it’s own to see which SSIDs I get. Any ideas?
