    Persistent internet disconnects on RT-AX88U with RP-AX56 node.

    GOOD NEWS UPDATE: So a week after installing a pair of XT8 routers in a AiMesh setup using existing ethernet cables and no changes to the environment I have had NO problems. Given that I set up the network exactly the same as before (on the RT-AX88U's and RT-AX58U) I am going to say there was...

    Persistent internet disconnects on RT-AX88U with RP-AX56 node.

    Just reiterating that I am experiencing the exact same symptoms matching those of the original post above. Description of issue: Periodically (every 12-72 hours, roughly), my LAN will disconnect from the internet. Addresses within the LAN are still reachable over WiFi and wired connections...

    RT-AX88U router in AiMesh with 1 RT-AX58U ethernet wired node disconnecting from Internet daily with red light indicator not lit up?

    So Internet disconnect is still happening with the WAN settings of the main RT-AX88U set to STATIC IP and ethernet port1 being used for the backhaul. Oddly it's happened twice around the same time of the day, 9-10pm. Log file attached. Crash at 31:37 Oct 21 21:37:36 wlceventd...

    Persistent internet disconnects on RT-AX88U with RP-AX56 node.

    So I have an RT-AX88U as my main aimesh router. It's been working fine for 2yrs. I hardwired 1GB ethernet this router to a RT-AX58U aimesh node on Port1. Since then every few days I lose connectivity to the internet with NO red LED light on the router indicating the internet connection is down...

    RT-AX88U router in AiMesh with 1 RT-AX58U ethernet wired node disconnecting from Internet daily with red light indicator not lit up?

    Nope, I am leaving it on Port1. I am sure the port 5-8 issue is real. That said when the problem I am seeing occurs, both aimesh nodes can still communicate with each other so the symptoms of the port 5-8 issue (lost connectivity between the two devices connected on the said port) is...

    RT-AX88U router in AiMesh with 1 RT-AX58U ethernet wired node disconnecting from Internet daily with red light indicator not lit up?

    No, the main RT-AX88U router itself lost connectivity to the Internet but what is strange is the RED led status light is not lit up indicating the connection was lost. Since changing the WAN settings on it to use Static IP instead of DHCP to connect to the cable modem the problem has not...

    RT-AX88U router in AiMesh with 1 RT-AX58U ethernet wired node disconnecting from Internet daily with red light indicator not lit up?

    I am not using ports 5-8 on the RT-AX88U now but regardless the problem was not that the aimesh node loosing wired connectivity to the main aimesh router, the problem was that I was loosing access to the internet from all devices even though the aimesh admin page showed the connection between...

    RT-AX88U router in AiMesh with 1 RT-AX58U ethernet wired node disconnecting from Internet daily with red light indicator not lit up?

    Yes very true. Event though when this problem occurs I still have connectivity between the two Asus routers I have moved the wired connection from PORT7 to PORT1 on the RT-AX88U. Also, having noticed a theme in posts related to DHCP problems so I have given the router a static WAN IP address...

    RT-AX88U router in AiMesh with 1 RT-AX58U ethernet wired node disconnecting from Internet daily with red light indicator not lit up?

    Yes 'disconnecting from the Internet' means no clients (connected to either Asus router) can access the internet any longer. How would the wired Ethernet connection between the routers interfere with the RT-AX88U's connection to the internet? That's separate 1GB ethernet cable and I've never had...

    RT-AX88U router in AiMesh with 1 RT-AX58U ethernet wired node disconnecting from Internet daily with red light indicator not lit up?

    I have an RT-AX88U on latest firmware, reset-clean config, etc. It's been working fine for 2 years with NO issues connected to 1GB ethernet to my cable modem. I had an old RT-AC68U connected wirelessly as an aiMesh node with no issues. I swapped it out for an RT-AX58U and installed 1BG ethernet...
