Hi,
I have AiMesh network with DSL-AC68U as mesh router and RT-AC66U B1 as node connected via Ethernet with a long distance (about 20m, or 65 7 feet) cat7 F/FFTP cable.
So my small home network contains DSL-AC68U->cat6 cable->keystone jack->cat7 ->keystone jack->cat6 cable->RT-AC66U B1.
I configured the node to work over Ethernet by default and rebooted both devices.
Both devices updated to current ASUS official firmware.
My problem is that the mesh network losing Ethernet connection every couple of minutes and reconnects as WIFI, I can see the WAN link on the node is off. It reconnects back to Ethernet after couple of minutes and disconnects again.
When I connect Ethernet cable straight to my PC I have no similar connection problems, even after long periods of time.
I tried to factory reset both routers and setup mesh network back, it didn't help.
I tried defining the RT-AC66U B1 as AP, and it worked great for a day or so, but after a while it started disconnecting the same way.
I tried changing cables, between wall jacks and routers, didn't help. It will be quite hard to replace the long distance cable, which works fine when connecting the DSL-AC68U directly to PC.
I don't see any reason for connection loss on the logs, if I'm reading it right.
Any ideas for what should I try next?
