Hi all, first time poster, long time reader. Thanks for the help over the years.
I have an AC86u as my main router on Xfinity cable internet. I have 3 Lyra's and 1 AC68U as nodes in my mesh covering a larger two unit home and outbuilding. The Lyra's are in ethernet backhaul with the 68 using the 5ghz. This setup has been working well for months, until yesterday. The Lyra's show up as clients, but not as nodes.It appears everything is working as I can see devices that are on the mesh (turns out it is intermittent) even the wireless linked mesh (I have some POE Camera's going to that 68u and the only way to see them is if the link is up).
I have tried rebooting everything (router/nodes) except some switches that are harder to get to.
Here's what the GUI (and app) are showing.
Any ideas on how to get back to a good reportable state? I can't tell but a number of my smart bulbs are having intermittent issues as well - which makes me think they cannot see the nodes and are reaching out to further AP's.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Looking at that picture I am missing about 10 devices (things are dropping off or reconnecting - I usually hover under 70 devices). Also, for data points, the internet was up and down yesterday with some weather that came through, this tends to make my LAN unhappy (intermittent dropped packets, unreachable pings, etc that usually resolve within a few seconds). I cannot explain why loss of internet would affect the LAN, it bothers me but I haven't been able to determine why yet. I upgraded to the 86 from the 68 as my main router a few months back and this setup has been pretty good.
Sorry for all the edits, the situation is evolving as I dig. The 68u connection (wireless backhaul) is definitely intermittent.
