Hello, 

I have 2 questions. 

I have noticed that my re505x will blink red on the wifi light from time to time. It does not seem to have any pattern or reason. What would cause that? I have run the location assistant and it say it's in the perfect spot. I have also reset both my archer Ax6000 and the re505x. That didnt seem to help either. Still blinking slowly.

 Also it only has 2 clients connected to the re505x. While my archer ax6000 has 25 clients connected to it. Is there any way to balance that out using one mesh? There use to be at least 8 to 9 on the extender. All of these clients are spread over my house its not like they're all in the same room but they're all connected to my main router. Is there anything that I can do to fix that.

Hello @Colt0815 

 

1.  According to RE505X V1 UG, Wi-Fi blinking means WPS process, Red means weak signal from host router. 

Did anyone someone presses the WPS button, or enabled WPS feature at that time?  You could leave it if RE works fine. If that bothers, can you share a short video of the Led? 

 

2. OneMesh allows device roam seamless from APs, it is possible your mobile device roamed to the main Router, and AX6000 Wi-Fi signal still strong enough for this device ( client has its own roaming mechanism, device  may not roam unless signal is weak and meet its roaming threshold), so devices stay connected on AX6000. So far there it's an option to balance the client number or force client connect to Router or RE.

I suggested checking the performance of clients when OneMesh On/ OFF and see if there is need to balance the client numbers with OneMesh off.
