ASUS IoT network causes loss of internet connection on main network.

[d0gg]

I have an ASUS GT-AX11000 Pro router setup with 5 Nodes (ASUS ROG GT6) in a AiMesh network with an ethernet backhaul.

Generally my network runs with no issues until I attempt to setup an IoT network using the "Guest Network Pro". The moment I set it up, everything starts dropping from the network and I lose my connection to the internet on the main network. I also lose connection to other devices on the network. All 3 of my NASes un mount from the computers they are connected to.

I never add anything to the IoT network. After the Main router restarts from applying the settings it immediately starts to kill the main network.

The only way I can get things back to normal is to delete the IoT network that was created. Once it is gone, it usually takes about 10-15 minutes and everything is back to normal.

Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going on? What I might need to check on?

Have you done a restore to factory default yet (clear everything)? It usually fix all problems such as this.

From my experience, playing around with the settings too much can cause everything to #$%@ up sometimes where the only way to fix it is to restore to factory default.

Ouch!
No I haven't gone that far.

So far I have added the 5 nodes to the AiMesh and added a bunch of port forwarding. Not much more than that. So I wouldn't think it would have to do with adjusting settings.

Let me see if anyone else has any other ideas, but that will totally be in the option list. I have gone scorched earth on Network issues before.
