Actually recently unplugged one of the Echoes. It was the one downstairs in the basement and I've stopped getting the deauth spam. Might be a faulty device, so that rules out the spam as the cause for why the router locks up on the Wi-Fi the way it does.
Did a factory settings reset. Now another echo device is constantly deauthing and authing like it do. In the span of two minutes there are 1116 total events regarding this specific Echo. Over a thousand.
What the absolute frack is happening right now?
Then I really don't know what to do. I don't know if this is a question that Support can help me with and Asus' NA support is apparently designed to be as inconvenient as possible. Even the sketchy translated site for the rest of the world would let me do this via email.
The issues summarized...
So as it turns out the "repeatedly disconnecting" issue was solved by widening my channel bandwidth. It was set to an automatic 20/40/80 instead of a straight 80MHz, since I use a Quest 2 for wireless PCVR, but it's weird because I know I manually set it before. That issue's fixed.
Though I do...
That's fair, I guess. But if deauths are supposed to indicate disconnections and there's hundreds, if not a thousand of them a day, how are they worthless?
I still have the problem of at least one Echo device flat out refusing to connect after being powered on for several hours and possibly...
So I have a few Echoes in my house. I didn't buy 'em. This is a sort of double help request here, because I'm foraying into territory I'm unfamiliar with.
