Link Quality of 42%

MR52 as a repeater with a 42% link quality to its primary mesh buddy. About 200 feet and indoor, primary mesh neighbor is an MR74 outdoor w omnis. Meraki docs say 70% quality recommended for a good signal. Would you all keep it? It does about 50mbit which is fine but I’m more concerned w stability. Is this guaranteed to be unstable?

Kind of a big deal

200 feet is probably on the farther end of what meshing can do with omnis. I'd keep it and keep an eye on it. If it works, it works, right. If you could pull a cable, you'd do it...

Correct

@BrechtSchamp So its been 24 hours and the link was looking even more solid than it had. But now the mesh speed to that gateway is tanking.

Interesting the link quality has just gone up. So not sure what is happening there. If you have any thoughts let me know.

It looks like it is just going to be inconsistent which is what I had hoped to avoid.
