I've personally not had any issues since setting a nightly reboot schedule. Just updated to this latest firmware and everything went smoothly no problems so far, I'm going to test removing the reboot schedule and seeing if it can run error free with this new firmware. I'll report back.
It's not ideal but until there is some more stable firmware, I would highly recommend setting a scheduled reboot each night. It fixed 90% of the weird issues I've been having
It's the early adopter cost, early firmware of a 1st gen device with new technology. It will mature with updates but may just take a while unfortunately. I've had a pretty good experience overall, few strange bugs that I expect to be ironed out with new firmware fingers crossed.
From what I've read the latest beta and then most recent patch cleared up the instability issues for a lot of people. Your issue may be something less widespread possibly?
I only received mine on Friday so I've been on the latest firmware since I've owned them, they've been rock stable not one disconnect. Just the back-haul channel width that's been bothering me. Even on 80mhz the tx/rx rates are around 1gbps so it's not the end of the world, but it would be nice...
Any ideas why the 160mhz connection between the nodes would fall back to 80mhz?
It seems to switch between the two without any user intervention, but has been spending most of it's time recently on 80mhz.
On the Asus product page it notes "* The 160MHz bandwidth may be unavailable in the 5GHz band in some regions / countries due to regulatory restrictions." so it's possible this is the reason behind that.
It's HW Version 1.0 also.
I've attached a screenshot from the "wireless log". It's connected at 160Mhz so that probably is the difference because I'm also at -60db.
My set arrived yesterday and it immediately updated to this new version, i'm mainly quite impressed with it so far. The wireless back-haul has tx&rx rates between 2-2.5gbps. I ran an iperf3 test connected by lan to the mesh node and measured in excess of 750mbps to my wired desktop. So it'll...
