Recently purchased a BQ16 Pro (1 pack). While I've seen BE98 Pro as router and BQ16 Pro as node, I decided to swap. (Since my DECO BE95 is router which gets IP Passthrough from AT&T BGW320-500, I use Access Point Mode with AiMesh). See attached screenshot of BE98 Pro SSID issue, (my OnePlus Open just got dropped to Mobile Network as well but auto reconnected to WiFi - I am near the BQ16).
EDIT- MAC addresses are normal but erased manually, somehow some were replaced with cryptic symbols via AiEraser on Android.
It can be hard to compare different interfaces and how they present info. But this one should be fairly clear.
Your system is not completely Smart Connect, so I don't know how that might affect your system.
One thing to verify is, does your MLO SSID show on the Smart Connect page.
You remember I mentioned both of my BE 98 Pros rebooted at the same time, like a glitch. I did not notice it then but a couple of days later, I noticed my non-MLO SSID had been removed from my install, which allowed the MLO SSID to show in Smart Connect. I did not do that.
It's kind of tedious, AND the SmartConnect page revealed itself only once in the process. I do not know what triggers its display nor what makes it disappear, BUT the evidence of its existence is in the SmartConnect Rule tab that is always there. It also reveals which bands are in fact Smart Connected. (As shown 2.4 and 5 GHz are Smart Connected).
I had something I was thinking about. Do you think the SSID on the Smart Connect page should be tied to the SSID the system is logged into? My system kept the original SSID I used to set the system up until it was changed. There may be a flaw in how that SSID is determined. If smart Connect is showing that long SSID, then you may need to reset and start over.
Does that new router behave similar to the BE98 Pro in options on the user interface?
This is what my Windows shows for SSIDs.
Thanks again for the input.
It's a pretty rudimentary list of available settings, similar to the GT-BE98 Pro when in Access Point Mode. I'm not sure what you mean by depending on which system I'm logged into?
The Smart Connect page is now gone. Replaced by the page I initially mentioned, sadly. BUT the available SSIDs seem to be correct as I have not been able to find the really long SSID being transmitted...
I do have yet another feedback log going, this time with a 64 GB USB stick attached to the BQ16 Pro. I did not realize it couldn't record certain things last time, until it warned me this time and I caught the warning.
Well, I think I came across the crux of my problem, simulated sine wave/non-true sine wave Uninterruptible Power Supply. Just added one I purchased from Sam's Club and surprise even worse Speed Test results!
