102.7 Alpha Builds available

[rung]

I also did the update from 102.6 to this alpha build, only on the main AX-11000 pro router.
However with 102.6 the Mesh system behaves like expected, clients get roamed most of the time to the best available Node, with 102.7, only the wired clients are on the nodes, wireless clients seem to be sticking on the main router for some reason, re-connecting the clients has no effect.
Reverting back to 102.6, again wireless clients do roam again to best available node.... mmmm
Some issue with the Mesh system?

Did you try resetting the node(s) (unpair/re-pair). It always seems to be required for my setup on recent versions.

Mmm did't do it because it was never an issue before.
Also the wired devices were connected on the nodes, so nodes are recognized and should work.
I'll try again when the beta phase starts.....

AiMesh is closed source as far as I know and merlin makes no changes to AiMesh

never an issue before doesn't mean it won't happens. if it is the issue with aimesh then i believe it won't just be you alone who encountered it. I myself doesn't have the issue u mentioned. Either u do a reset or there are something wrong with your configurations.

Some issue with the Mesh system?

Absolutely nothing changed with the Asus code in this Alpha for your model. Same as 102.6.

Did today the update to Alpha 2 and AiMesh is now working without any resets of nodes, so was it some glitch or just bad luck with Alpha 1.

 

[CaptainLockness]

After updating to Alpha 2, I’m starting to receive this in the logs (RT-BE88U):

“Feb 2 03:03:12 kernel: 192.168.50.217 already exist in UDB, can't add it”
They show up after dnsmasq-dhcp logs, I’m assuming this is normal to show?

 

[Untried3868]

Dirty upgrade from Alpha 1 to Alpha 2. No issues noted at this time.

well, nothing was changed with the codes for aimesh i suppose. so most probably the issues was on your side.
