XT9 Nodes

[benels]

Hi,

i just bought 3x this Set -> https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0BD8G7GS1/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza

so i have 6x XT9.

I connected the first one as AP and 3 with AiMesh. But with the last bopth I am not able to get a connection. Everytime I get a connection error. I do the same thing as with the other nodes.

Has anyone an idea?

Did you try to add them 1 - 3 meters from the primary AP, via WiFi?

replace "AiMesh router" with "AiMesh AP" since you set up as AP...

Yes, I tried that first. Same result.

Hmm.  (I have 5 nodes, although not XT9, so it should work).

Have you tried turning off one node (1 of 3), replace with unlinked node, then try to add?

[benels]

Yes, I have also tried that with the same result. I have also reset everything to factory settings and tried again from the beginning. Still no change. Even when I try to connect the non-functioning nodes first, I can see them, and I can see from the LEDs that something is happening, but then I get a connection error.

That sounds compelling that the nonfunctional ones are defective, (although 2 out of 6 is very high failure rate).  Out of 7 ASUS products I’ve owned one was defective, (1 of 7).

Amazon is very good at helping with defective products, (also ASUS but may take longer with them as they’ll likely try to troubleshoot some)…

Yes, thats what i do now. I send them back and order new ones.
