Hi!
I have an issue with both my Moment and my M3 that is related to my home network. I have several Linksys Velop nodes and for some reason both my Moment and my M3 often switch nodes automatically to nodes that are less ideally placed. There are nodes in both the living room (where my Moment is) and my kitchen (where my M3 is). And when I restart my Moment or my M3 they always connect to these nodes, and subsequently report excellent connection quality. However, after some hours or a day, they have usually switched to some other node. The M3 often switches to the living room node, and the Moment often switches to my bedroom node, which is the main node. In both instances, this gives mediocre/poor connection quality and results in glitches and hiccups in the music. If I restart the Moment and/or the M3, they immediately connect to the preferred node again, and connection quality is excellent again. Wait a few hours or over the night though, and we're on it again...
Does someone have similar issues, or even better, a fix? Could the M3 or the Moment be made to only connect to a specific node (without making different SSIDs, which kind of defeats the purpose of the whole mesh thing...)? I'd appreciate any input!

I had issues with Eero with my multiroom system. When I called tech support they told me the products don't work well with mesh networks but didn't know why.

Not that this help much, but I have a Essence, Eclipse, Bs2 and m3 all working just fine on a Netgear Orbi mesh network. I have seen periods where various devices connect to the wrong hub, but it usually straightens itself out after a time.

What I suspect is that it isn’t the fault of the BSM or M3. These Mesh are clever systems (I’m not familiar with the Linksys version), but the system itself probably does some loadbalancing by spreading the clients accross the different AP’s.
My complete network consists of several switches and AP’s, as a picture on another topic shows. But even my wireless livingroom thermostat connects with the outdoor AP instead of the 2 meter away placed AP in the livingroom.
Of course, no sooner did I say mine works fine, then it started acting up. My main router had a software update, and after the update my BS2 would automatically multi-room with my Essence... but it was not playing, only the Essence was playing... and it wouldn't respond to commands from the app, including reboot... so I unplugged the Bs2, rebooted all the others (except the Eclipse), plugged the BS2 back in and now all is well again. I think some of the problem must have been because I had the BS2 and Essence both running when I the router updated (not multi-roomed, though). Next time, turn off everything before rebooting the router.
