Good to keep in mind. Curiously, I'm having very few issues with 2.4 GHz stuff, but rather finding the magic plan to get better 5Ghz coverage. Still a few weak spots. For now I'm going to experiment with taking the current AIMesh nodes out of the "mesh" and trying them in AP mode and then...

Yeah, it's just that I'm not replacing the BE92U anytime soon. I was having problems with it (the RTC crash bug) and ended up coughing up for a BE88U to maintain stability (at the expense of WiFi6 for now). So I have a lot of expensive Asus hardware kicking around I want to keep running as long...

That is an interesting idea. Seems to me that if I get ZenWifi boxes of any kind, then AIMesh is just as functional. But if I found something of equivalent specs to the BT8 or BT10 that aren't Asus, the access point idea would be viable too. I'll have to look into that.

Finally got Fiber to the house, upgrading my speeds from 0.03Gbps to 3Gbps. So finally my WiFi 7 router can see some real action. Right now I have a couple of older Asus routers (running stock firmware) set up (via ethernet backhaul) as AIMesh nodes. These nodes don't have WiFi6/WiFi7, but...

I did get the custom ddns-start approach working, so this is less critical. But it would be nice to understand/document why the built-in handler isn't working.

So today I went from my old wireless internet provider (which gave me a static IP) to fiber/PPPOE, which is dynamic. So I want to get DDNS working, but the various instructions I'm finding seem to be missing something. I'm not concerned with SSL certs (I handle that separately for now). At...

My BE92U is totally unusable, and sitting forlornly on a shelf awaiting an update. I went out and got a BE88U to remain operational. I was getting the RTC corruption/crash problem, but like the others who mentioned that problem, it appears random. Sometimes I could go a day or two without...

Yikes, thanks. But quite informative. I don't think I'm having any specific problems with my few WiFi-based IoT devices. And if I had to replace them anyway I'd probably just get more Zigbee to add to my collection.

Hmm, this is intriguing. Where can I learn more about this concept?

Yep, my BE92U is sitting on a shelf awaiting the day this crash problem gets resolved. I went out and got a BE88U (caught a sale), and while it's not perfect it's much more reliable. In my case, particularly with the BE88U, I'm convinced the root problem is my wireless internet connection...

Yeah, there's a relationship between the date getting all wonky and the login failing. If I'm already logged in on the web and SSH, I can see that the processor cores are pegging at/near 100%. Eventually the router will self-reboot. I'm grabbing as much logging as I can during the day while I...

Interesting. Other things I have that might be different is I have syslogging on (to a local machine), SNMP enabled (get only), a handful of ports open for incoming, 31 "manual IP" settings, and AIMesh with two nodes. This morning CPU cores are back to low usage, temp just under 60. It appears...

The other thing I'm noticing is on the System Status page Core 2 & Core 4 are pretty much pegged at 100% almost all the time now, and Core 1 & Core 3 bumping between 50% and 100%. And that's with the router not really doing anything. I have no "extra" options enabled, just firewall rules. CPU...

Okay, yeah, I can see that now. I SSH'ed in and just checked date every now and then, and it changed from correct to Wed May 8 04:54:27 EDT 1918. I'd imagine it'll try to correct that via ntp, fail, and self-reboot at some point soon. My network settings aren't particularly elaborate. Wifi 6 &...

Downgraded to 102.4, factory reset and painstaking reapplication of my basic settings. Still reboots and the syslog still shows bogus timestamps. Unfortunately, since syslog doesn't include the year, I can't tell if your theory about that is correct. But I surmise it's not the broadcom driver...
