Now, both the AC3100 and the AC5300 are showing up on the webUI as clients and it lists NO AiMesh nodes. Power off/on is the only way to correct this.

I turned off Airtime Fairness and Universal Beamforming on 2.4, but hadn't done that on the two 5 channels. So I changed it on 5-1, and the AiMesh master node stopped operating after applying settings. Had to reboot. I'll do the other 5-2 channel tonight when my family isn't using it. Hoping having this on ALL bands will help.

Supposedly you can only have up to 4 nodes so at first glance looks like you have to many nodes.Hi everyone,
I've tried the AIMesh now for more than 2 weeks and here's the problems that I see is wrong with the AIMesh software.
I bought the AC5300 as my head router and 5 AC68U for the entire setup. Setup was pretty simple and easy but every morning the network didn't have access to the internet. Then every time I tried to connect to the AC5300 router the connection was through one of the Nodes (the re-direct message appeared but nothing happens). Then I could reset alle the nodes until I found the right one who was gone offline. And then the internet and network worked again.
But this problem occure more than once per day and then I started to look into the logs and the nodes. Each time (before the network didn't work correctly one or more Nodes went offline. And it was both the WIFI connected and the wired who went offline.
Now after almost two weeks with constantly rebooting and resetting Nodes and router I went back to firmware without AIMesh on the AC68U and setup them as AP or repeaters and now the network is working fine again.
In my opinion the AIMesh software is not yet ready for release to a larger setup as mine. I did expect more of Asus AIMesh but it's not ready yet.
I just had this problem today.
Mesh Router: RT-AC86U
Node 1: RT-AC88U
Node 2: RT-AC68U
Will keep monitoring and update.
