Aimesh dropping WiFi

[Avinitlarge]

I am having trouble with my WiFi. Recently setup 3 nodes and a master, all are RT-AC86U.
One node is connected to my DSL-AC88U the other 2 nodes and the master are connected to a netgear GS724T managed switch.
The nodes don’t seem to be dropping, just the WiFi.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing it?

Thanks

Is it only a problem with guest Wi-Fi? If so you need to configure your switch to pass tagged VLAN packets.

I’m not using guest WiFi. To eliminate the switch, I’ve temporarily bypassed it. I’ve been running a ping test, pinging my wired desktop, all the nodes, an AP and google every 5 seconds, this is after 5 hours from a laptop connected to a node and it doesn’t appear to be as bad as I thought

Does anyone know what is going on here? 5g is fine, 2.4 is all over the place. I’m ready for binning the lot

Start over and get one wireless router working. Then build out one step at a time. Watch out for an AC86U acting weird... it has a history of losing power regulation and the 2.4 radio or radios in general.

And you'll perhaps do the right thing because RT-AC86Us are known for multiple issues.

Ahhh, I did not know this. Any recommendations on replacements?
