Mesh Wi-Fi Handoff Delay on Cudy System

So it's been a week and no complaints so far. All the devices are working with the multiple networks that are available,
Only downside is I have to manually switch the networks when I move.
Should I try switching to mesh with only 2.4 g network for now. Switch off 5g for now ?
Or should I use the smart option(2.4g and 5g combined ) and keep the two in AP mode ?

Combine it all into one single SSID. It should switch to 5Ghz when you are closer and over to 2.4ghz when you move further away and that offers more bandwidth.

Leaving them on AP mode shouldn’t stop the meshing from working. But maybe show us the other options you have listed there.

turned on smart-connect which combines the signals, below are the options, did this on both the router and the mesh, right now both on seperate SSID

Yeah that’s going to cause problems for you when it switches automatically.


There should be an option to change your region somewhere, odds are South Africa isn’t in the list so you’ll need to choose the USA or Canada.

Failing to find such an option just choose manual channel 1 like it chose already.
 
Chuck the whole lot out and get a TP link deco system. Only use a single SSID and try to add cable backhaul where possible
 
I activated the mesh option again, this time using channel 1 and channel 36 on medium transmit power, seems to have resolved the issue of phones not working in the lounge. will keep monitoring
