Hi all !
new here , and not an expert by any means .
been a long time lurker and have gained considerable knowledge from reading y’all’s posts .. thank you very much !
I hope this helps anyone experiencing similar issues.
I finally found a configuration that works after the disaster that the latest firmware -22068- was to my system.
I have 2 XT8’s and an old AC86U In a mesh system - both wireless backhaul- one xt8 and the 86u as nodes.
I’ve had the xt8’s for about a year and the system had been working flawlessly until the last FW upgrade a few weeks ago.
after the upgrade, which was dirty, both of my nodes would disconnect multiple times a day and revert to 2.5ghz wireless and the xt8 node would flash blue multiple times a day before reconnecting at 5ghz before switching to 2.5ghz. The 86u seemed to be more stable.
I downgraded both nodes to 21617 and the problems persisted.
I played around with : setting the backhaul to only 20,40,80 … selecting manual channels , enabling auto channel , enabling 160 mhz , enabling U-NII-4…. And a few other things .
nothing worked
i then did a factory reset on both xt8s and the 86u, then reconfigured the whole system .
I selected 20,40,80,160 , set channel to 149 , checked auto channel enable UNII-4 And checked enable 160mhz.
the system has been rock solid for several days now.
the signal strength gained -10 to -12 db on both nodes as well .
the only weird thing is that the only U-NII-4 channel I have showing in the menu is 165.
no matter , solved my issues .
hope this helps someone!
