    RT-AC3100 - intermittent connection -between- devices

    @degrub @ColinTaylor Thanks so much for continuing to explore this with me. The ac3100 is set to 80mhz channel bandwidth for the 5ghz radio. The basement router doesn't let me see what that's set to in the UI, but here's its wireless log: 2.4 GHz radio is disabled SSID: "CJNetwk3" RSSI: -56...

    RT-AC3100 - intermittent connection -between- devices

    I will amend my previous statements about this. I just did another test. Laptop and Apple TV hardwired to the ac3100. Apple TV accessing an smb share on the laptop. It *seems* that, when hard wired, infuse is always able to load the smb shares, although sometimes it's a bit slow...but it does...

    Yeah, I meant the RT-AX88U. I responded earlier with a full description of my home network, but that post is awaiting moderator approval.

    Would the AX6000 be a good/comparable replacement for the AC3100? (if/when I go down that road)

    RT-AC3100 - intermittent connection -between- devices

    Are you ready? ;) Actually, joking aside, my network is semi-complicated (not crazy). I'll try to describe it best I can. The rogers cable modem is first. The cable line connects to the rogers modem. I have all the wifi stuff on the rogers modem disabled. The ac3100 is connected to the rogers...

    Thanks, yeah, I plan to do a factory reset soon (just have to find a time when the family can deal with no internet for an hour or two). I'll report back once I do so. I took screenshots of all the config things I've changed, so I may manually re-configure anyway.

    Another data point, been seeing a lot of these in the logs lately Apr 26 11:13:53 syslog: wlceventd_proc_event(527): eth2: Auth AC:9E:17:80:88:50, status: Successful (0), rssi:0 Apr 26 11:13:53 syslog: wlceventd_proc_event(556): eth2: Assoc AC:9E:17:80:88:50, status: Successful (0), rssi:0 Apr...

    Is there some way for me (via ssh/telnet) to access more involved logging that may be present in the router, to potentially see the switching "errors" happening (can route to IP, can't route to IP, can route to IP, and so on)

    RT-AC3100 - intermittent connection -between- devices

    Don't know about any energy saving or green stuff involved...I don't think so. No, I don't see entries coming and going for the devices in question (when looking at the router's Network Map). I just tried the iperf birectional test. When iperf works, it works fine. When it doesn't, it just...

    Manual assignments are reserved in the router. The manual assignment doesn't seem to help...those IPs that are manually assigned are equally unreachable (50% of the time) as the dynamic assigned IPs.

    RT-AC3100 - intermittent connection -between- devices

    Haven't tried iperf. I'll likely give that a shot. What I've noticed is that once a connection is finally established (like SMB or Remote Desktop) then the connection stays. When things go south is during that initial step of trying to establish a connection...it's at that moment where the IP...

    RT-AC3100 - intermittent connection -between- devices

    The pings / accessing smb shares / remote desktop connection issues I'm having work about 50% of the time, and fail 50% of the time. I was just showing my daughter...I had a console window up and was trying to ping one machine from another. Worked fine...two minutes later "destination host...

    RT-AC3100 - intermittent connection -between- devices

    I have not done a full factory reset yet. Was hoping to avoid that, but would be willing if people thought it could help. It's the main router for the house and everyone uses it constantly. :) It's not really a wifi thing either. I connected my laptop directly to the router with an ethernet...

    Thanks for responding. I recently upgraded the router FW to 3.0.0.4.386_48260. It hasn't changed the behavior. Since I posted the original post, I've played with this more and haven't gotten anywhere. Keep in mind this problem started happening about a month ago, never happened before that...
