New Around Here
I have a RT-AC88U running firmware 384.17_0 and trying to add an RT-AC68U running 384.17_0 as an AiMesh node. But whenever I bring the node online the combo becomes unstable and I get constant restarts and my NAS has connectivity issues with its bonded ethernet on ports 1 & 2.

Taking the AC68U offline stops the problems. Any pointers?

Thanks!!

HERE IS THE LOG:

Don't put Merlin on the mesh router. Put it back on the latest stock Asus firmware. I have 3 RT-AC68U routers, Merlin is on the main unit only, and stock Asus FW on the mesh units and it works perfectly. Once you flash the mesh unit with stock FW, don't do anything else to it. Just plug it in and put it as close as possible to the main router. Then go on the main router in merlin and search for available routers in the mesh setup. Once it's setup for mesh, you can move it further away. It's really important to have it near the main router for initial setup.

I also have a NAS plugged into my main router, but it's only a single ethernet connection.

I started with stock Asus firmware on the RT-AC68U and was having issues thus why I changed to Merlin firmware and went the issues continued decided to post here. I've flashed stock firmware 3.0.0.4.385_20490-g57b06ea on the RT-AC68U and the RT-AX88U continues with Merlin 384.17_0 and is now showing issues thus far. I'll keep an eye on the logs and my NAS and report back if it starts misbehaving again. Very odd.
 
A few housekeeping items first, probably not related to the NAS issue.

1) The latest stock firmware for the 68U is much newer than the 86U 384.17 is based on. If you want to go stock, put the stock on the 68U that 384.17 is based off of. It's for this reason I use Merlin on all my nodes. Its just easier and there no downside. There are differing opinions but AI Mesh Stability is best when all nodes run the same code.

2) ACSD log entries tell a few things.
a) You have channel set to Auto. Change this to fixed channel for all radios
b) I see it selected Channel 100 at some point. This is a DFS channel. Avoid picking a DFS channel when selecting a fixed one.
c) for 2.4 Select 20MHz.

Since you are talking about Bonding, make sure you dont have a bridge loop. I dont have an AC88U but I suspect in the Advanced - Lan - Switch Control screen you will see an option to enable spanning tree. Keep that enabled.

I could see an issue with Jumbo Frames being enabled in AI Mesh BUT I have no data to back that up either way. If you have it enabled, disable it and test.

There are multiple Bonding protocols but LACP is what's used.

Is your NAS configured properly as well? LACP is negotiated and your logs tell me something is not correct on your NAS.

That's about the extent of my ideas. Do some forum searching. Also, specify your NAS make/model so other may be able to help.
