I already sent them the patch a few weeks ago, so expect it to be applied in a future stock release.Now, will Asus do the same?

Following this with great interest. Have two AiMesh nodes (RT-AX86U Pro’s) which I bought especially for the wired VLAN function, especially with IoT network on GNP; have wired ESP32s on both.I have a ticket open with Asus since the GPL is closed and will report to them as well should I find that this is causing the IoT stability issues. My desire is to be able to use the wired VLAN without impacting wireless IoT VLAN, so hoping this helps isolate the issue if it does prove to be the source of the instability.
That is rather useless unless you mention which routers you have. You could add it to your signature, then it's clear to everyone.Upgraded main router and second router and so far so good.![]()
Not sure if this is the right place to continue this topic, though it does seem related with the current GPL, including what is used for this version. I have been having instability with only one of my two nodes (BE86U with issue, BE82U no issue). IoT devices most notably would consistently lose connection, often within a day, sometimes intermittent in either direction. This is fairly consistent across firmware versions, both Merlin or stock.
Yesterday, I saw a post with reported DHCP issue when using wired VLAN, so wondered if the wired VLAN config I use for a single IoT device on the BE86U could be causing the connection drops. I changed the VLAN back to All(Default) / Default and following the change have not had a single device go offline on any node. While this has only been 1 day, 8 hours, 20 minutes; I would have had devices dropping off by now on the latest stock firmware. I have a ticket open with Asus since the GPL is closed and will report to them as well should I find that this is causing the IoT stability issues. My desire is to be able to use the wired VLAN without impacting wireless IoT VLAN, so hoping this helps isolate the issue if it does prove to be the source of the instability.

As an update, I am now squarely over 2 days without a single IoT device dropping wireless. I am more confident that wired VLAN configuration is a contributing factor to wireless GNP instability. I am certain that I would have experienced issues by this point, though will continue to monitor. This effectively set up my BE86U node to the same Mesh setup as the other BE82U that hasn't had any issues and doesn't support wired VLAN configurations.The post referred to (thanks to @penguin22) is this one:

Guest network pro vlan with ethernet ports configured to anything than "All(default) - SDN Profile: default" main dhcp problem
This is a general query Is there anybody who succesfully configured a guess vlan setup where one of the ethernet port of the switch is not configured to vlan mode All(defaut). I have made tons of test on RT-AX86U Pro using a configuration like this and at some point, it will make me loose main...www.snbforums.com
So an update from me on my observation above. In the past after every AiMesh System reboot, I had to go through a series of service restart_wireless (which often did not work) or individual node reboots to get IoT (GNP VLAN) devices that were actually CONNECTED (on first start) to those nodes based on the AiMesh Clientlist and the RSSI checks via ssh, but were not pingable nor accessible via their WebGui.
However after I changed, in the Main Router's LAN/VLAN page, the port from Access/IoTNetwork back to just All-Default (like @penguin22 did), on a System reboot (via the AiMesh menu) the devices on BOTH nodes came up straight away, were pingable and accessible. So I do not know if the issue is the same but @penguin22's observation seems to have merit for the observed behaviour in my (Merlin-only) system. Only sad that I cannot now have the Ethernet IoT devices on the LAN ports of the nodes ...
There's a few people here, myself included, who've used managed switches to put wired devices in a GNP VLAN because of AiMesh nodes that don't support wired VLAN tagging (only my main router can do that ). I can't speak for those other people but I have not experienced any client dropouts (wired or wireless) like what's being described, so I think that's solid evidence of it being something about the Asus hardware doing the wired tagging and not a result of having wired clients in the VLANs.As an update, I am now squarely over 2 days without a single IoT device dropping wireless.
