AX11000 en two RE605x
I recently switched to a tp-link Archer AX11000. on each floor in my house I placed a RE605X (two in total)
I bought this whole set with the ideal I could use smart band and one mesh to create a awesome WiFi network throughout our home.
But instead I got a network which is unstable and lots of devices keep disconnecting. Netatmo cameras and doorbell and eufy WiFi cameras.
the RE605X say they are in a good position but it my network is super unstable.
so I ended up connecting one RE605X via Ethernet to my AX11000 and configured it al a accesspoint. The RE605X on the 3th floor is configured as a repeater which is connected to the RE605X one floor below.
I also ended up turning of onemesh and smart band so I know have two SSID's in the house (2.4ghz and 5ghz combined)
it nog functions but the whole point is to have a onemesh network with one SSID.
Are there more people who recognize this?!
or are there any golden tips for going for my dream WiFi network? (One SSID with OneMesh) turned on?
greets, Richard

So i tried the trouble shooting method from Kevin.
I found out that when i only run the Archer AX11000 alone that the Netatmo video doorbell and the flood light with videocamera still disconnected regularly...
So this is what i did.
Opend my config page on the AX11000 Advanced-->Wireless-->Wireless settings
On the 2.4 GHZ i changed the following:
Channel width: Auto to 20MHZ
Mode: 802.11 b/g/n/ax mixed to 802.11b/g/n mixed
On both my 2.4 GHz as the 2x 5Ghz SSIDs i activated MU-MIMO
After a reboot i plugged in my RE605X and did the following.
RE605X in the bedroom was setup as ONEMESH node and i changed that to accesspoint mode. (after hardwiring it to the Archer AX11000)
RE605X on the attic i left in the ONEMESH node mode.
as a miracle, every device on the netwerk stayed up and running ever since and speeds arent my 1000mbits but acceptable 200mbits on the attic and 800mbits in the bedroom.
In the garden and in our porch i even get 120 mbits. Its not too shabby now :-)
But i stil must admit i plannend a complet OneMesh network with Smart Connect turned on. But that is just marketing talk i guess...
This is a little drawing i made of the situation. Im in the Netherlands and overhere we have brick and concrete housing.

@KoolenboeR Several of us are having issues with recent firmware releases and 2.4GHz disconnects. I wish I had an answer for you... I'm returning my AX73 to Amazon.
Hello @Dr_Mono, the latest official firmware has been released, you can check for the updates on your router web GUI if you haven't yet returned the router.
BTW, the issue you are reporting is not related to the one that KoolenboeR is describing, you can check this thread:

Hello @KoolenboeR, regarding the disconnect issue, can you confirm if it is the RE605X disconnecting from the AX11000 or the smart devices switching between networks. If it is the smart devices switching between networks and causing a disconnect, please do as follows:
1. Power off all the devices, including AX11000, 2*RE605X, all smart devices, etc.
2. Power on the AX11000;
3. Power on the smart devices, monitor the connectivity for a while. If they connect stably, go next;
4. Power on the RE605X on the 2nd floor, monitor the connectivity of the smart devices; If they connect stably, go next; If not, please confirm again if the disconnect happens when they switch the connection from the router to RE605X.
5. Power on the RE605X on the 3rd floor, monitor the connectivity of the smart devices.
BTW, be sure the firmware for AX11000 as well as the two RE605X are up-to-date.
