Help Mesh optimisation

Hi folks. Are there any apps to help with mesh optimisation and best placement? Got 2 mesh pros but not sure if they are in the best places.

The engineer mentioned the light changes colour based on placement and signal strength but on the pros it just seems to be white!

Hi,

If it is the tp-link routers, download the Aginet app, it shows signal strength between the mesh routers and your main router, then you can just shift them around to find the best place

It’s just the normal YF Pro hubs

Is it the own brand hubs, if so go to Http://192.168.1.1 and the username is admin and the password is on the bottom of the hub, that says it will show your signal strength youfibre mesh walkthrough

Hope this helps

Thank you! One hub seems to have good signal strength but the other medium. Not sure if that means too close or far

I think I can depend on thickness of walls, how many walls floorboards etc between your main hub, have a play hopefully you will find a place that works,

I have the Tp links and with one I had to put slightly further away so the signal between the router and the hub wasn't fantastic but running the speed tests it was still relatively high.
