In AiMesh, devices connect via 5.0Ghz but only from the main router and not the nodes

[BlueSkye]

Hi,

I have an AiMesh system consisting of an RT-AC5300 main router and two nodes consisting of an RT-AX58U and an RT-AC68U.

Devices connect via the 5.0Ghz band but only when they are on the RT-AC5300.  When those same devices connect via the nodes, only 2.4Ghz connections are made.

What, if anything, can I do to make the nodes connect via the 5.0Ghz band?

Thank you!

I normally would recommend putting AX as primary router, basically higher WiFi first, but last person here said he wasn't willing to swap for whatever reason, so I am trying to be more accepting...  Hopefully that is a reasonable option for you to swap/try...

I was that last person who was "unwilling to swap" but I did finally take your advice.

Thanks!
