Hi. I'm currently having problems with waay to thick walls and the resulting weak signal between the mesh points. I am really missing some technical information, on for example: Whether the mesh network is in a 'star' or 'chain' configuration, where exactly in the ?chain the signal (packet) loss lies, and in general, how well the connection between the points themselves is. Currently it's a cat-and-mouse game of repositioning the points until it works for some time.
I think the Google home app has improved it's capabilities in that regard with the latest update, but that's just not enough. The optimal solution imo would be a mesh-graph of the points with the lines in between showing the packet loss (effectively the speed reduction) in percent, and not some useless Great-Good-Weak rating, that's depending on the blessing of your internet provider and what speed you are paying for.

Mesh is using 802.11s.
Hardware specs:
Thick walls stopping you: What about wired backhaul? If ethernet cable is not an option; ethernet over coax (MoCA), or powerline?

Hi, leonhma.
I just wanted to jump in real fast to see if you saw olavrb's reply and to see if you still needed some help on this or if you were able to get it sorted out. If you are still needing some help, just let us know and we'll be happy to continue helping.
Thanks.

Hi, leonhma.
Just one quick final check in here. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.
Thanks.

Hi, everyone.
As we haven't had any activity here recently I'm going to go ahead and close the thread. If you have more to add, feel free to start a new discussion.
Thanks
