I have 3 AC68U. Three of them are on the latest 386.1_2 (but this problem happened with several previous versions). One is configured in AiMesh AP mode. The other two are in AiMesh nodes backhauled by 5GHz wireless.
When clients are connected with the AP, everything is fine. But when clients are connected with any of the two nodes. There are Internet disconnections (WiFi is still connected while losing Internet) several times a day. This problem happens randomly on both of the AiMesh nodes. Though it just disconnect 2 or 3 mins, it is very annoying for online meeting,
I looked at the log and used the user scripts to find the problem. Looks like I found the problem but I don't know how to solve.
Here's the outputs of a simple script to timestamp the dhcpc-event:
Here's the output from system log for the same time period:
Seems to me, the node randomly drop the leased IP address and go back to the default 192.168.1.1 (the DHCP lease time is set to 48 hours and no problem for any other device) and course the leasefail. But it can get the new address lease in 1 or 2 mins.
