Thanks to @L&LD for pointing to ChannelHog, I put together the following (port recycle untested)
Some of my assumptions were wrong (thinking the wl would show me the downgrade vs getting an error message).
In my case, recycling the adaptor did not fix the issue requiring the reboot to correct...
Yup .. Not sure
just ran the following 2 commands from the ChannelHog script on the Master Node via ssh
port5ghz1="$(nvram get wl_ifnames | grep -oF "$(ifconfig | grep -F "$(nvram get wl1_hwaddr)"...
-> eth6
currentbandwidth1="$(wl -i eth6 assoc | grep -F "Chanspec" | awk '{print $5}')"

I have 2 RT-AC86U routers in a wireless mesh configuration. Running into some issues where the backhaul will go from 5GHz to 2.4. I usually only hear about this when my family complains about how slow their internet is. A reboot of the downstairs node fixes the issue. Is there a command I...
In case anyone has a need .. the following snippet performs the check:
curl -s --max-time 2 192.168.xxx.x &>/dev/null
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
prt-success "asusnode <active>"
else
prt-error "asusnode <inactive>"
fi
I just noticed that my node was down (2x86U) .. most likely for multiple days. I have icmp disabled and only allow login with ssh via pub/private key. I'm on a Mac and wanted to start monitoring via a Bash script thinking I could copy my public key to the node and perform a "ssh asusnode...
OE .. In #15 you mentioned that you "added wireless node in place, 77' away in detached brick garage;", but in #50 you stated "Once you remove the node from the router webUI AiMesh, it should reset. Then you need to wire a PC to it". I haven't don e a reset since I got both routers .. it would...
I downgraded to 21140 and my airplay speakers haven't beeped once (located very close to the node) ... which is a good sign that the disconnects are no longer happening.
Arthur .. That would require a change to my SSID name(s) and change my IoT devices which I'd rather not do (they don't make it easy). From the recent post from OzarkEdge, it sounds like SmartConnect is the culprit
I've been on 32799 on a AIMesh (router and node are u86) with wireless backbone for over a month and my wifi is unstable ... devices seem to drop for a couple of seconds multiple times in a day. I was going to find time to do a full reset, but the comments sound like it's a firmware issue so...
