    It seems like the web GUI has become snappier for me now, much better than when I first set it up in the afternoon.

    Also did a ‘bufferbloat’ test and got B.  With the XT8’s it was mostly C.  This is with me connected wirelessly to the furthest away node.

    Any ideas what this means?  Seems to have a lot more log entries than I am used to.

    I have hope that this will be a bigger success than the XT8. So much so, I have asked my brother to see if he can sell them….

    Linux log messages will drive you insane and try not to worry to much if the system seems to be working.

    The device with MAC address 64:B5:C6:18:33:E0 has a good signal strength 37 as -20dBm to -70dBm is considered good.

    Smarthaul is a new term I am not familiar with so will chat to ASUS at some point, is the above MAC address associated with an Apple product ?

    That is a shame as I had hoped it was an iOS device on your network that had “Private Wi-Fi Address” enabled and to fix it, you can disabled that setting.

    Are any wireless devices on your network experiencing intermittent connectivity drops ?

    I have had no issues with any of my devices dropping wireless connection.  No complaints so far from the rest of the family, other than the initial setup down time.

    Already started tinkering around and turned on ‘MLO Fronthaul for clients’.

    My S25 ultra has connected as MLO rather than 5G or 6G.

    I think I will leave the tinkering for a bit and see how stable it is.  So far so good.

    I have been tinkering with the setup.  It looks like MLO backhaul only works on the unit/s that are connected to the main BT10.  Any units that are not getting their wireless backhaul from the main BT10, get conventional wireless backhaul.  Is this a limitation on MLO backhaul, or just how ASUS have implemented it?

    When you say UNITS, do you mean AiMesh nodes or wireless clients,  I can then put that question to ASUS.

    I mean the BT10 mesh nodes.  Both my BT10 nodes are connected to the main BT10 via wireless backhaul.  I have 3 BT10, one is connected to the ISP provided modem, the other 2 are connected to this BT10 via wireless backhaul.  The furthest away node has to be connected to the main BT10 to get MLO.  If I default it to connect to the node closest to it, MLO wireless backhaul to that node disappears.  The one closest to the main BT10 still has MLO.

    Hope that makes sense.

    It will be good to know how MLO backhaul actually works with Asus.  Improving this would take the BT10 to another level.

     

    We can then understand MLO fronthaul after that.

    Absolutely, I have dropped ASUS an email and also asked if this is just a current limitation (chipset) or will future firmware updates improve the third AiMesh Node (daisy-chain) scenario using MLO.

    So ASUS have comeback and said they are looking at why MLO cannot be used for the 2nd AiMesh node connecting to 1st Node and this is a known limitation to them.

    Reading between the lines, seems as though ASUS may have a few more discussions with Chipset (BCM)  manufacturer planned.
