    IoT Devices falling off nodes (only) always requires reboot to fix

    Whatever ends up working for you is obviously the way to go, but I specifically went by that guide that's been referenced a few times and my setup is working flawlessly, i.e. the wired devices hooked up to ports 2-5 are part of the RSIOT VLAN ID 53 and function exactly as intended. The fact that...

    IoT Devices falling off nodes (only) always requires reboot to fix

    What you've done differently than I have (and what those instructions I referenced a long time ago explain) is your entire range of ports is supposed to be configured as part of the VLAN 1 configuration. Here's my setup with Port 1 as the uplink to the AiMesh node: For VLAN ID 1 try setting...

    MerVLAN v0.50 Simple and Powerful VLAN Management **BETA**

    Yet another piece of information that hasn't been very clear but should be in giant flashing letters in the README/instructions pertaining to this add-on. AiMesh nodes are not generally referred to as an "AP": in Asus-lingo during initial setup Wireless AP and AiMesh node are both available...

    MerVLAN v0.50 Simple and Powerful VLAN Management **BETA**

    You've just described my home network, 40+ IoT devices, and a RaspberryPi that doesn't do anything except let me tinker for fun.

    I run backupmon as well so I went in and checked, everything was still in there for me in regards to the cru entry within services-start.

    Switch capabilities of AiMesh Nodes?

    This is why I ended up just putting a cheap managed switch into the mix to solve that need; the cost of the RT-BE86U is about twice the cost of what I paid for the RT-BE58U + switch.

    Switch capabilities of AiMesh Nodes?

    I've been complaining about this for some time now, the marketing content around Guest Network Pro is a hot mess. But keep in mind GNP specifically refers to *wireless* VLANs. This is why you see hardware that supports GNP but not wired VLANs (like my RT-BE58Us)

    Switch capabilities of AiMesh Nodes?

    I don't own one so i can't answer your question but I'd be really surprised if it did considering so far they've limited that feature to Pro-series hardware.

    Switch capabilities of AiMesh Nodes?

    If there's Merlin 3006.xx branch firmware available for your devices of choice there's a new addon being developed right now that could add that capability if it isn't natively available on the device. See here...

    MerVLAN v0.50 Simple and Powerful VLAN Management **BETA**

    Yep. But I agree if I were starting from scratch today I wouldn't necessarily go out and buy the setup I'm currently using.

    MerVLAN v0.50 Simple and Powerful VLAN Management **BETA**

    I originally started with a single Asus router because I wanted some features offered by Merlin. Over time due to hardware upgrades I ended up with multiple routers that were compatible with AiMesh. The fact that my house was pre-wired for Ethernet made putting together an AiMesh network with...

    MerVLAN v0.50 Simple and Powerful VLAN Management **BETA**

    No worries, more than happy to help. Unfortunately, the requirement for the nodes to run Merlin means I'm going to have to bow out of helping at this point because there is currently no 3006.xx-branch Merlin for my RT-BE58U nodes. If that changes while this testing is still ongoing I'll jump...

    MerVLAN v0.50 Simple and Powerful VLAN Management **BETA**

    Again, I don't think it's an issue as I know many people are running merlin on AiMesh nodes without issue. And since this is a script that's going to have a very specific audience (generally more advanced) I'm imagining any requirements like doing various minor things manually over ssh to the...
