Hi Guys, done a lot of reading on the forum and have AX3600 with latest firmware & permanent SSH and AX1800 with latest firmware & SSH too (not permanent on this one).

I have a Mesh setup where the AX3600 is the AP and two AX1800 mesh repeaters. They are both also connected with ethernet cat 7 cables.

My issue is that the basement AX1800 seems to be doing mesh via the ethernet cable, achieving speeds of 950 Mbps where as the first floor AX1800 seems to be doing mesh via wifi with speed around 300-400 Mbps.

My question is how to configure ethernet priority over wifi. I have compared both etc/config/network files and they are the same except for the different unit IP´s of course, so I have a feeling this has to be configured somewhere else, but do not know where...

Hello,

I am having exactly the same setup (a cabled mesh network composed of one AX3600 and one AX1800), but still on modified factory firmware. I am interested in moving to OpenWRT, but the amount of information is so overwhelming, I did not dare to start doing anything. Can someone please guide me, what do I need to read, and download and install in order to have this mesh working properly with OpenWRT?
Thank you in advance...
