Add RP-AX58 node to RT-BE88U without WiFi in AiMeh Ethernet Backhaul Mode

[Igor]

Hello!

AiMesh issue.
When the RP-BE58 is connected to the network via Ethernet within the stable Wi-Fi range of the RT-BE88U fw 3006.102.7_2, the connection is fast and stable. When connected via Ethernet without stable Wi-Fi, the RP-BE58's chances of successfully connecting are virtually zero, unlike with a stable connection on the RP-AX58. AiMeh Ethernet Backhaul Mode is enabled.

In the RT-BE88U log, I see a message about the RP-AX58's connection to the RP-AX58's Ethernet MAC address being lost due to a poor Wi-Fi connection...

RT-BE88U-3AE8-522207D-C wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(662): wl0: Disassoc A0:AD:9F:E4:B4:90, status: 0, reason: Disassociated because sending station is leaving (or has left) BSS (8), rssi:0
RT-BE88U-3AE8-522207D-C hostapd: wl0: STA a0:ad:9f:e4:b4:90 IEEE 802.11: disassociated

I've contacted Asus support, but they require me to install the official firmware and test it, which is difficult to do today.

Could you please tell me how to identify the cause of the issue when using the Merlin firmware?

Seems like wireless backhaul can't be completely disabled by design. Better leave it on Auto.

AiMesh connection sequence/speed causing simultaneous Wireless and Wired Backhaul?

In my remote system, (see sig) I have a GT-AX6000 Main, two RT-AX86U Pro Nodes and an RT-AX86U Node, all Merlin FW (although I am not convinced that has any bearing on it). When I reboot the Aimesh System (AiMesh Tab), all Nodes come up, all show WIRED Backhaul, but in my Wireless Report (Addon...
