Today's log:


Getting generally the same output daily. Not fully understanding what I am seeing.
 
Automatic channel selection hunting for better channel. Disable 160MHz wide channel and fix the control channel in non-DFS range 36-48 or 149-161 (if available in your region) and 80MHz wide (or 20/40/80MHz) and the messages will stop instantly. You'll get more stable Wi-Fi as a result.
 
Another question. This routing table concerns me. I have my system setup under the 1.92.168.1.0 scheme. why am I seeing these 50.52.80.0 so one route?

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Type Iface
default 50.52.80.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 WAN0 eth0
50.52.80.0 * 255.255.248.0 U 0 0 0 WAN0 eth0
50.52.80.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 WAN0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 LAN br0

Thank you that was solid information, those messages are gone now.
 
Netgear R7000 is two generations older (AC). There was the excellent Netgear R7800 after (AC Wave 2). Asus RT-X86U is AX.

If you had R7800 though (one of the best AC routers) you perhaps would question yourself where exactly is the $250 upgrade.

Is this 2.4 switching channels?

Are you actually having issues? Or just looking at the system log and panicking over entries?
 
Is this 2.4 switching channels?

You may get more stable Wi-Fi is you fix the control channels for both bands. Run the router on Auto for some time and observe what channel is used most of the time. Lock this channel and find something better to do with your life. For 2.4GHz - any working better for you channel. For 5GHz - it depends on your local region regulations. There is no best settings advice. Everyone's Wi-Fi environment is different and you have to find what works for you.

I have posted some tested fail-safe and IoT friendly RT-AX86U settings example here:
