Trying to wrap my head around this one.
AiMesh router: AC-5300
AiMesh node: AC-68U
Firmware current on both: 3.0.0.4.384_45149
I've been seeing latency spikes (300-900ms) every 10 seconds or so on the 2.4GHz network. If I switch to one of the 5GHz networks it goes away. So, like a good (or dumb) doobie, I upgraded my AiMesh router (AC-5300) and AiMesh node (AC-68U) to the latest firmware (3.0.0.4.384_45149). Of course, it hosed my AiMesh network but I got the node back up after resetting it.
Ran some 2.4GHz WiFi ping tests to a local Windows PC that is wired to the AiMesh Router and still saw spikes. I connected a Windows laptop (wired) to the AiMesh node and ran ping tests to the PC wired to the router and still saw spikes. The router and node are about 6 feet apart while testing. I changed the 2.4GHz channel from auto to 1,6 and 11 and none of them did any better. I also had an iPhone running ping on the 2.4GHz network and it was spiking while the AiMesh network was up.
I decided to move the AiMesh node back upstairs while I did some troubleshooting. Once I unplugged the power from the node I noticed that the ping spikes on the iPhone and Windows PC (now using WiFi 2.4GHz) went away! I had my son test his Xbox connectivity no with the AiMesh node off and he said there were no more latency issues.
It seems like this just popped up about a week ago. The 2.4GHz was down when I got home one night and I had to do a router reboot which was weird. I haven't reset it as that will be painful but I may be headed down that path though I don't know if the problem is with the router or the node (since I no longer have latency spikes).
Anyway, just looking for some feedback. Thanks!
