I got the two node CT8 two days ago and am having significant problems keeping the secondary node connected.
Using the default settings (combined 2.4 and 5Ghz), the secondary node just refuses to hold a connection to the primary on the backhaul network (5Ghz-2). Sometimes it will disconnect within minutes and never reconnect. The LED on the secondary always shows solid white as if it thinks it is happily connected. This even occurs if the devices are in the same room (3m apart) and it says the signal quality is "great".
I did upgrade the firmware to the latest ( 3.0.0.4.386_22245 ) but the issue was happening before.
I did try one change - which was to disable "Roaming assistant" on the 5GHz-2 network and maybe that is helping to keep a longer connection but when I got up this morning the connection was permanently dropped again.
Before I return the units to Amazon, I'm wondering if there is anything I should try. If there are simple suggestions to get it stable I'd be interested because I otherwise really like Asus routers.

- Should I try a hardware reset and reconfiguration (how do you do this)?
- Should I try switching the nodes around?
- Could this be a hardware issue and should I get a replacement rather than refund?
