    Wireless network (3 AiMesh nodes, AP mode) drops out every few days, requires hard reboot

    Agreed. That would let me do a proper guest network, and more importantly segment off all of the iot devices I have littered my network with over the past decade. And a lot more fun to play with. My wife works from home and requires a reliable connection, so there is some peril here. Thanks for...

    Wireless network (3 AiMesh nodes, AP mode) drops out every few days, requires hard reboot

    Yes you are correct the Guest network at this point is just a way to get onto my WiFi network with a much simpler password. When I moved the router & firewall functions out of the Asus over to the OpnSense box that was a side effect. Every now and then I think that I might look at doing...

    Wireless network (3 AiMesh nodes, AP mode) drops out every few days, requires hard reboot

    I am looking at it on the "primary" 68U. The other two devices do not allow me to log in to their admin pages- when I try to access them, they auto-redirect to the IP address of the primary unit. You are correct on the config section. The selected option on the Operation Mode tab is "Access...

    Wireless network (3 AiMesh nodes, AP mode) drops out every few days, requires hard reboot

    Definitely possible I got terms wrong, apologies for any confusion. On the Network Status page it says "Parent AP status : AP Mode". The WAN port on the primary 68U is connected to a NetGear switch, which is also connected to an OpnSense firewall/router for Internet access (which is why I am...

    Wireless network (3 AiMesh nodes, AP mode) drops out every few days, requires hard reboot

    Looking for ideas about where to go next figuring out what's happening. I don't mind buying new hardware, but prefer to have some indication that this is really the issue! My configuration: The primary node is an RT-AC68U running in AP mode. It sits behind a NetGear switch which sits behind a...

    Can't access admin pages on AC68U

    An update in case anyone else has this problem in the future and stumbles across this thread. I finally did a factory reset on the units, and it solved the problem. As I feared, building the AIMesh network up again was a royal pain. The RT-AC68U node came up immediately. The RT-AC66U B1 was...

    Can't access admin pages on AC68U

    Have tried with Safari, Chrome, and Firefox, from Mac & Windows machines. Plus via the ios app. Not sure what firmware version since I can't log in to look. I'm not sure when this started happening. Three months ago? Six? Could even be more. Up until then I had been pretty diligent about...

    Can't access admin pages on AC68U

    Tried various paths in, including direct wired connection from one of the LAN ports on the router. No luck from any. Agreed on doing a clean refresh. Have done that a few times (but not recently), but with enough pain on the AIMesh config that was trying to avoid it for as long as possible...

    Can't access admin pages on AC68U

    I am running an AIMesh network, access point mode, with three nodes. Primary is an AC68U, wired backhaul to another AC68U and to an AC66U. Worked well for a while (well over a year). All of a sudden, I could no longer access the admin page for the router. Tried multiple browsers, they all...
