I mostly use my Maestro on the shack desk. I have a 1000M wired Ethernet connection for it on the desk. The the distance between the desk and the WiFi router is less than 12 feet total, but the signal does have to go through a 1 large glass window and the shack wall. The signal quality meter on the Maestro will sometimes indicate Excellent, sometimes Poor, on both the wired and WiFi. More often, when I leave it connected to the CAT5e but select a WiFi connection instead it indicates both connections are in use and usually indicates Excellent quality.
Is it possible it's using both connections? Both connections are visible in the router.
I've told the Maestro to forget all the WiFi connections to stop it from getting a WiFi connection, only allowing the wired connection. Mostly Excellent quality when doing that. I Unplug the Cat5e to force WiFi only connections, and some of the time those indicate Excellent.
It's hard to troubleshoot intermittent WiFi quality issues.
It's not likely to be a WiFi congestion/interference issue, None of the neighbors seem to have any WiFi in operation. I'm Rural so that helps.
Does Maestro give any indication of which it's using, when it's operating and indicates IP assignments for both?
