Hello,

I have tested the beta firmware from the beginning and it seems to be pretty stabile (not tested in OneMesh - it's on the list AX605X - hope verry soon). 

I have noticed that Homecare AntiVirus is not working (or not show the Hystory detection anymore). Before beta firmware, i have entered weekly on Homecare AntiVirus History and there always are some websites, but now, on the beta formare, I din't see any website (I tried intentionaly to access some malicious websites - and still nothing)

Thank you!

The Beta testing is for OneMesh only it doesn't refer to system improvements for the AX11000 other than that.

The stability will remain the same as before where as if you were testing OneMesh with either the RE505X or RE605X you'd find the OneMesh Beta test is very unstable with 2.4ghz drop outs, slow network speeds and issues with more than 1 additional node.

@Kevin_Z it seems that the engineers have gone cold on us, is the beta still being worked on?

Cheers

Hello @Scott79

Great to hear from you.

In the meantime, I purchased two RE550 range extenders (yes, the AC model) to test in OneMesh, as I had a strong feeling that the Tether problems and other issues with the RE505Xs were due to them struggling to maintain a stable connection with the AX11000; even though they were no more than 6 - 8 metres distant from the router and their LEDs were always blue, indicating a stable connection exactly.

And I must say that now, after a couple of days of testing, I think that this was indeed the case.

The RE505X has exceptionally weak range as an extender, so much so that I had to set it up with maximum wi-fi coverage, otherwise the link rate and speeds of connected devices would drop.

However, with the RE550s I have no such problem – their signal is so strong that it is enough if I set minimum wi-fi coverage, there are no link rate or speed drops at all, and – most significantly – Tether is working without any issues no matter which settings I have in the router.

PS Do I understand correctly that your config is acting up, or is everything still ok?

PS2 I'm testing with the firmware which @Gaffer shared in post no. 127.

@Kevin_Z 

Just a quick update from me in the 2 or so weeks since my last one, everything still remains stable with no connections dropped and my nest cameras connecting well....so much so I'm going to uninstall the AweSun software from the spare win laptop (I can always reinstall it if I need to chat with them again).

In hindsight I suspect me fiddling with adding WPA3 mode and the such may have destabilised the network because I've had zero issues on WPA/WPA2 mode. Everything connects, I can use WPS, no dead spots (my RE605Xs are both on maximum power).

Hi Kevin 

I've emailed the engineer but haven't had a reply.

An example of what we're dealing with.

2.4ghz on Onemesh is absolutely useless and unbearably unstable.

Please guys can we get some progress on this Im looking at the extender which is only 4 metres away with router download speed of 300Mbps im getting a terrible link.

The link speed from the router to the extender is 144.4Mbps even if I got 100Mbps download I'd be happy but 10Mbps at a push that is incredibly slow is painful.

I've invested over £550 in TP-Link Products and it just doesn't work!
