I am running 4 68U's, 1 master, and 3 mesh clients spread out around the house. All are running Merlin on 384.19 (and I know I need to update, need to wait for the kids to finish school tonight).
2 of the mesh clients are on a cable backhaul while 1 is wireless.
Recently after a power cycle, one of the ones on a cable backhaul now shows as being on a wireless backhaul.
I have checked the wiring, it reads as good, changed out the wire just in case, switched out power supplies and all, the only possible item left is the WAN port has died, which I am now reading seems to be somewhat common.
Through my reading it looks like I can enable dual wan and choose one of the LAN ports as a new WAN port, however, I do not seem to be able to directly go to the router as each time I try I am redirected to the AiMesh master router and cannot change the settings on the slaves.
Is there a way I can remote into the AiMesh slaves and change settings or will I need to take it offline, hook it up to a laptop directly and work with it offline like that?
Alternatively, is there a known reason or fix for the WAN port just up and dying?
I have like half a dozen of these routers and the LAN/WAN ports seem to be the most fickle things ever, I have one with only LAN ports 2 and 4 working, 1 and 3 seem to be dead. I have another with all but 1 LAN port working.
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
