I flashed two of these no problem. Tried to flash a third and, after hours of work, got nowhere. Luck of the draw I guess. Fantastic routers tho, have two as nodes connected to my AC3100.

you probably have the same issue I had and some others. We all turned off airtime fairness and it fixed the issue.

You may name them the same but you don't know if client will always switch to the strongest one. If the one the client is connected to is "good enough", it will not switch.
