What does the "count" relate to in the RTT Avg column. Does this relate to retransmissions and if so is it cumulative resetting to zero when the hub is rebooted?
In general I have very few issues with my system - I've a couple of devices on the periphery with very few neighbours but there's little I can do as they are already close to other other repeaters. I do have some devices that have a lot of route changes yet some of these also have a high neighbour count and high LWR RSSI. I also have some devices with a high "count" that otherwise appear OK. My mesh details are shown below (ordered by neighbour count)- any insight appreciated.
If this is on stock antennas I'm actually pretty impressed. It looks like there are a couple of areas where the signal could be improved but in general I'd give this a B+.
The route changes are higher than I'd like to see which is going to contribute to a higher rtt avg and rtt std dev.
If you haven't already tried a central location for your hub, a move might help but given the number of direct devices, I'm guessing it's already in a pretty good spot.

Thanks @lewis.heidrick that's good news
Last reboot was 3 weeks ago so the route changes have gone up quite a bit.
Regarding position - I have been meaning to reposition it. I was keen to get it up and running quickly so I guess like many I installed it in the most convenient spot. The house is quite small - 2 floors, each about 40' x 20' (8' ceilings) and the hub is currently just sat atop a media rack on the lower floor. It is central front to rear of the house at a height of about 3' above floor level. I'm intending to move it to the upper floor where I can get it pretty much dead centre.
I popped a query on your post regarding the antenna upgrade asking if anything different is required for a UK/EU (868Mhz) upgrade?
I'll try a reposition of the hub first but may also give the antenna upgrade mod a bash later.
