    RT-AC68U aimesh node dropped connections/ latency spikes with firmware 384.81049 and later

    I've been on 384.13 on both router and node for 3 months or so and no disconnects.

    RT-AC68U aimesh node dropped connections/ latency spikes with firmware 384.81049 and later

    Interesting, you are the 2nd or 3rd person running the latest version on the main router with no issues. I *might* be inclined to go back to the latest build on the main node and see if its stable for me (and get another data point to support the 'its an newer AiMesh update' bug theory), but its...

    RT-AC68U aimesh node dropped connections/ latency spikes with firmware 384.81049 and later

    Interesting. I'd be inclined to try 384.19 on the main router and 384.13 on the node so I can get the latest features and security updates, but on my network even the main router was dropping wireless clients on 384.18 indicating that to me it was likely not a AiMesh bug but a wireless bug.

    RT-AC68U aimesh node dropped connections/ latency spikes with firmware 384.81049 and later

    After 4 months of guess and check around many issues, I also finally landed on 384.13 for stability. Installed that 72 hours ago and no problems yet. ASUS seems to have introduced either a wireless bug or a AiMesh bug in a build pulled in on 384.14. On my network any build after 384.13 has...

    AC68U fell off the AiMesh node from AC86U router..2nd time

    Did the DHCP AiMesh node reservation trick continue to work? For others: I suggest putting your logs at the most verbose level (info level , log all messages). I think the DHCP activity could just be the symptom of an unlogged wireless disconnect prior to this. I would see these DHCP messages...

    AC68U fell off the AiMesh node from AC86U router..2nd time

    Wanted to come back here with an update to save someone else a ton of frustration and time: Even after a wired ethernet backhaul I noticed that wireless devices attached to the main router and the mesh node would randomly disconnect with some sort of deauth, auth, assoc pattern logged on the...

    AC68U fell off the AiMesh node from AC86U router..2nd time

    Good to know. I'm yet to find anyone who has 2 RT-68U on wireless backhaul working reliably :) Will keep an eye out for AC86U.

    AC68U fell off the AiMesh node from AC86U router..2nd time

    I wish I had your luck! I ended up trying different combinations like trying the main MAC address of the node and also trying the wireless interface MAC addresses as well in the DHCP reservation table. Also tried this roaming block list setting discussed here...

    AC68U fell off the AiMesh node from AC86U router..2nd time

    Question - did you set up DHCP reservation for the RT-68U on its 5GHz MAC, its 2.4Ghz MAC, or the MAC address that shows up under Network Map->AiMesh node->Click on node->Click 'More config'? I'm guessing you chose the MAC address and IP address listed under the AiMesh node config? For now I'm...
