The router is the point that crashes. There was a time when everything was fine for awhile after a factory reset. But the issue came back. I suspect it's the APs, cause of range issues (the log is constantly spammed with what looks like some device not able to decide which AP to associate with)...
welp - even in dumb AP mode, i still get crashes - realized thats how i started, and moved to AiMesh thinking it would solve my issues. So now im just going to replace my AC68U's with the WAX202 ap (cause on sale for $36), and see what happens.
I guess what i HAVENT tried - is loading stock asus firmware on the main router (ax11000) and nodes(ac68u's)... :-/ i... really dont want to for obviouse reasons. but if thats what itll take... ill set it up another day. i have far to many tenants that use the network regularly, and me fiddling...

im gonna try switching to AiMesh mode (Ethernet backhaul), as opposed to AP Mode on both my AC68U's - and see if that makes any difference. then...
My GT-AX11000 (running merlinwrt 386.4) has been exibiting random crashes/reboots several times a day, intermittently. Some days more than others. Some days may be reboot free. Today (1/20/22) was the most egregious at 5 reboots in total. mind you these reboots are not new to 386.4, ive had them...
