RP-AX58 Disconnects

[hydroz23]

Recently purchased a RP-AX58 AImesh node to connect to mt GT-AX6000. I am able to add it without any issue and it shows it is connected via 5G and shows great for connection quality. After 45 seconds it shows disconnected and will never reconnect, even after power cycle. It will flash blue rapidly and then go to solid red and then flash blue rapidly and go to red and so on. I can factory reset and do it all over and same results. It does work when wired but that is not an option long term for this one. Asus support was no help at all.

Main router - GT-AX6000
AiMesh 1 - GT-AX6000
AiMesh 2 - RP-AX58

Too far away?

Tried it via backhaul?

It is 1 foot away from main router for setup. Yes wired backhaul works but I can not leave it like that.

1 Foot is too close.

How far away is it (and how many/type obstacles in between) when it disconnects?

Did you try different Control Channels on the main router?

It is 1 foot away right now with not obstacles at all. I only placed it there to test. I have put this in at least 5 different locations around the house to test ranging from 1" foot to 75". The final location will be 4-50'

Yes, 1 foot is too close. Why would you need a wireless backhaul AiMesh node at 1 foot?

Test at acceptable ranges only. Note that depending on your wall/floor construction, 50' and 75' may be too far for a stable connection.

I'm not leaving it there, and I obliviously don't need wireless backhaul at 1". Again it was just to test as the other 5 distances made no difference. That is where my server rack with GT-AX6000 so I also plugged in which did work.

Same problem with RT-AX88U Pro. 30' line of sight to GT-AX6000

I factory reset everything and turned off wired backhaul and everything works.

Sounds like an issue with the AX6000 then. Or, something within your setup
