RT-AX88U running in AP mode with a RT-AC68U as an AiMesh Node.
DHCP and DNS are running over two Windows 2019 Servers with load balancing.
The AX88U is plugged directly in to a Netgate Firewall running pfSense.
The AC68U is hard wired to the AX88U for its backhaul for the AiMesh network.
Running the latest stock firmware, all works and clients can connect to both 2.4 and 5GHz networks without issue and get an IP from the DHCP servers.
I installed:
RT-AX88U_386.1_beta3
RT-AC68U_386.1_beta4
Once installed I could see that random devices (Nest smoke alarm, Sensibo AC Control, HP Printer etc) could not attached to the network. Even trying to reset the network config on the devices did not work, they just would not connect.
Likewise my guest network stopped working and devices could not connect to this.
Reinstalling:
RT-AX88U_3.0.0.4_384_9579-g5362374
RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4_386_40558-gc48f410
Back on the routers without changing a line of config and everything starts working again.
All I can think of is these devices cannot IPs from DHCP, but I am at a loss as how to prove this.
