    Best range?

    Used AC86U is ~$40 on eBay now, hard to beat in every sense of the word then!

    AiMesh randomly disconnecting - "MISC: wifi upstream is connected, and disconnected from CAP."

    For the original subject, I did test AC68u with 386.13_0, and the main AC86u node with 386.13_2 for a few weeks. The MISC error did not go away, so no improvement. 386.13_2 on AC86u introduced some screwiness with Diversion causing frequent Diversion restarts. Since @RMerlin imported AiMesh...

    AiMesh randomly disconnecting - "MISC: wifi upstream is connected, and disconnected from CAP."

    Are you actually for real??? 🤣 For the sake of everyone's time, please stop giving any and all advice from now on.

    AiMesh randomly disconnecting - "MISC: wifi upstream is connected, and disconnected from CAP."

    @ramthrou As mostly expected, the downgrade did nothing. Disconnects continue. Vague advice rarely (if ever!) works ... I downgraded the mesh node to 386.13_0, and the main AC86u node to 386.13_2. Version 386.14_2 on the headnode would not play properly with the mesh node at .13, so I head to...

    AiMesh randomly disconnecting - "MISC: wifi upstream is connected, and disconnected from CAP."

    There is more of this stuff happening. Are you using 5Ghz backbone?

    AiMesh randomly disconnecting - "MISC: wifi upstream is connected, and disconnected from CAP."

    It's a plan, but a poor one :) Basically, you offered nothing but very generic trouble shooting. I can do that if I need to myself. You provide no specifics that there is any reasonable expectation that a different version might change something. So the (expected success)/(time spent) ratio is...

    AiMesh randomly disconnecting - "MISC: wifi upstream is connected, and disconnected from CAP."

    Well, I guess it's a matter of degree? It occasionally disconnects, seems like 3-4 times a day for a couple of minutes, and requires no action from me to get it back working But otherwise the system works reasonably well. I just wanted to perhaps figure out if somebody has such a setup rock...

    AiMesh randomly disconnecting - "MISC: wifi upstream is connected, and disconnected from CAP."

    Not sure which issues you were having - I have .14_2 running nicely on my AC86u. It's auto-rebooted nightly - so there is that. Once a month I get stuck "nvram get" command, so I notice flakiness and may have to force reboot. AiMesh is mostly OK, occasionally it drops for a few moments, but...

    AiMesh randomly disconnecting - "MISC: wifi upstream is connected, and disconnected from CAP."

    I mean, this issue was mentioned in the past, as in here - Link How confident are you that there was no such issue on 386.13 ?

    AiMesh randomly disconnecting - "MISC: wifi upstream is connected, and disconnected from CAP."

    I am running a 2 router AiMesh, AC86U and AC68U, both on Merlin 386.14_2. (added later) The backbone is the 5Ghz band, and there is no wired connection between the devices. Pretty randomly AC68U node disconnects, and then reconnects. I reboot AC68U daily, so it's fresh. I tried another AC68U...

    [ANNOUNCEMENT] Asuswrt-Merlin 386_x devices are no longer supported

    @RMerlin - thank you for having done a terrific job supporting the AC line of devices! The EOL decision is a sound one given the Asus dropping the support earlier. My only request is to have any obvious security issues with AC line flagged if/when they appear. If a reasonably straightforward...

    Unable to flash firmware due to bad blocks

    Yeah, I have AC86U with a known bad block that stays there. So no issues: Jan 21 04:05:05 kernel: nand_read_bbt: bad block at 0x000000280000 I also have AC68U which had nvram forget everything from time to time. So I just hammered that section with many writes, forcing those blocks out of...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.13 / 386.13_2 is now available for AC models

    Nothing happens to the physical router upon EOL. It'll run just like before, lights will continue blinking. As long as you have all the features you need - keep it in operation. And EOLed devices get quite cheap on eBay, so may even stock up! If there is a huge security issue in the future, I...

    Solved Replacing USB (Contains Entware) - Safest & Most Efficient Way?

    Yeah, mine are already labeled! Still - when my only USB drive becomes sdb, something else seems to be screwy. Btw, I grepped sda on all my scripts, and found this in backupmon.sh (@Viktor Jaep): backupmon.sh:EXTDRIVE="/tmp/mnt/$(nvram get usb_path_sda1_label)" # Grabbing the default...

    Solved Replacing USB (Contains Entware) - Safest & Most Efficient Way?

    Sometimes my single SSD USB glitches - a couple of times a year, and instead of /sda it comes in as /sdb. There is more to the glitch - the router does not work quite fully. I usually try to check all USB connections there, since it should not be doing that.
