IoT Devices falling off nodes (only) always requires reboot to fix

Hi,

I’m struggling with what should be a perfectly robust system, chosen for compatibility after many discussions on this forum surrounding GNP and VLANs. I’m currently at my remote site but have been struggling with this for almost a week, only have a week left and won’t be back for another year. Three all (and only) fully GNP capable Routers, all VLAN capable (not important for this discussion though).

  • GT-AX6000 Main on Merlin FW 3006.102.6 b2
  • 2 x RT-AX86U Pro Nodes, also on Merlin FW 3006.102.6 b2 (will try stock soon)
  • Wired Ethernet BH, set to Autp.
  • Mostly stock settings. Smart Connect, just because I prefer it. Addons as shown in sig.
Issue is with Shelly IoT devices on nodes. Note that I am using static assignments on the devices and have only one of the two Shelly Wi-Fi options set up on the web interface of the Shelly’s.

They connect and then if I reboot the main (separate thread on whether this also reboots nodes), then many of the devices on the nodes (only) just fail to reconnect.

However if I then subsequently reboot the nodes, the devices come back fine.

A second issue is that they occasionally fall off the nodes and stay off. I am not hiding the SSIDs and they should reconnect. A reboot of the node also fixes this.

On Main the devices always connect and stay up just fine.

I really don’t want to schedule reboots on the nodes (and should not have to).

Will try stock on nodes soon but would really very much appreciate some suggestions to try or troubleshooting steps to post here, just feel the clock ticking by on what i thought would be a simple upgrade from a mixed 3006/3004 codebase system to 3006/3006 with the same mature Wi-Fi 6 gen routers.

Thanks!
