I added a second U7 Pro to the upstairs in my house and I am getting this message. Not sure what improvement means. Without the second U7 in my second floor, I only get weak 2.4 Ghz signal and low sub 10 Mbps transfer, with it I can get 5 Ghz throughout the house with 100 Mbps transfer at the furthest reach. Not sure I need much improvement, but always looking to optimize if possible. Any suggestions?

    Yeah my comment is 4 months late but I just found this community.

    The screenshot shows you have your U7 Pro setup as an “extender” which means that it’s using wireless meshing to connect to your other AP. For reference it’s normal to set Min RSSI and / or “Roaming Assistant” to between -70 and -75 which will trigger wireless supplicants to move to a different AP if they can.

    So with your 2nd U7 Pro meshing at relatively low strength of -76 what the message “AP Deployment Density Might Need Improvement” means is “Hey, my mesh link to the downstairs AP is pretty weak. You should add another AP in between so I have better signal or wire me up with an Ethernet cable.”

    Fix that and the “100 Mbps transfer” you are seeing will likely jump to 500+.
