BE98 Pro Mesh System – Constant Instability Issues, Anyone Else Experiencing This?

[ComputerSteve]

@SomeWhereOverTheRainBow with AdGuard are you allowed to use a different subnet ? I remember you writing that if you do that it’s only going to work on the main router and the nodes won’t work correctly. Is this still the case ?

I fixed that from what I can tell, and other users have reported my fix works on their guest network pro as well. I think the problem you were experiencing was an unaccounted for variable where one might have multiple subnets enabled, and also have a guestnetwork that uses the same subnet as the main. Hence the symptom I patched last night. It just requires the user to run an update with the installer using option 1.

I’ve actually noticed the total opposite @SomeWhereOverTheRainBow , which is why I’m reaching out here.

Originally, I had my IoT guest network on a different subnet, but with that setup, clients would mostly fail to get internet or would randomly lose connectivity whenever your add-on was installed. To try and work around it, I recreated the guest network and this time selected “keep on the same subnet.” That definitely works better, but I still see odd behavior where clients will suddenly stop responding.

When I completely uninstalled your add-on and switched over to the built-in AdGuard, the issue disappeared. The downside is that the built-in version is paid and lacks support for REGEX rules, which I rely on.

This is at least on the BE98Pro's & I also did get two GT-AXE11000, & noticed the same thing. I am wondering if it's the quad band wifi thats causing an issue maybe something is different on those ?

Well, I also have to consider the complexity of your setup and weight that against other users who are reporting a basic run is working on their guest network pro. First I need to know if there are any scripts you could be running which introduces a change to your running environment that I have not accounted for in my script. If so, then it is a dead give away to why your not able to run AdGuardHome. Something could easily be causing a conflict with AdGuardHome, and I am not decided that it is guestnetwork pro any longer because I have tested that with numerous users who have reported all is good on their end.

Here is what I do know:
* The current AdGuardHome scripting works with Guestnetworks Pro on different subnets.
* You have created this thread and made an attempt to have your nonworking setup troubleshooted.
* You believe the cause was AdGuardHome which you had installed using my script.
* I do not know what version of my script you were using, but the current version has been patched and running environment tested with several other users running Guestnetwork Pro with different subnets from their main lan subnet. <------- I read in the earlier part of the thread you were running 1.9.3.
* So far you haven't presented any new tests showing that show the current version is not working with your setup (specifically including the patch I added the other night after reading your request for my review).
* I have no test data, and no knowledge of your setup or what parts of your network could introduce conflicts with this AdGuardHome if there is one on that end.

Currently I await any helpful data, or information that could help me further help you with this matter.

I actually just installed your fix. I wasn’t aware of it. I have actually not that complicated a setup since I now am only using 3 GT-BE98pros. I have my 1 main network and the 1 IOT network. I don’t really consider that design that complicated. Unless I’m wrong ?? Meaning it’s built in features of the firmware. The additional things are your add-on, VPN routing,dual wan replacement script, and entware. All these routers have been factory reset. I originally tried not installing your add-on to see if that fixed the problem. It did. It’s just the built in AdGuard is limited. I appreciate all your help with fixing this and for troubleshooting. I didn’t have any of these problems on the GT-AX11000 either pro or non-pro.

Also @SomeWhereOverTheRainBow if you need me to try anything or to help anyway I am more than willing to do that.

I guess the only thing useful you could do from here is try running a test run with the guestnetwork setups you like to use. see if the issues are present. observe any behaviors in logs you think are noteworthy mentioning.
