Currently running setup noted in my signature (RT-AX3000 and RT-AC68U both on 384.19).
AI Mesh node throughput and connectivity has been great, but it appears to randomly drop Offline and then fail to reconnect. The log is littered with DHCPREQUEST and DHCPACK messages once the node falls offline. Restarting the main router fixes the issue temporarily until the node falls Offline again.
Wireless log shows -63dBm, so signal should be plenty good.
Strangely, system log doesn't appear to have any entries before that noted below (even though the router has an uptime of 2+ days). The MAC noted in this entry is identical to the AI Mesh node, except the final digit is off by 1 (19 instead of 18). I don't have any devices with that MAC on my network. Is this maybe what's causing the constant DHCP messages? Is the WPA handshake occuring and being issued for the wrong MAC somehow?
Any ideas where to start troubleshooting?
