First, I know that this is a subject, that have already discussed manytimes here on the forum, but I didn’t find any answers that could solve my AiMesh drops.
Here is the deal!
I have two Asus RT-AC68U, that I’m using to replaced my Internet provider router. Both are on original ASUS firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_41634 that is the last firmware available. There is a Beta one but I’m not using it.
One RT-AC68U “Main” is on my living room at ground floor, connected to the Internet Provider Fiber device converter, and it is working perfectly for a long time. Sometimes I reboot from time to time just because.
The other RT-AC68U “Secondary” is on my office at first floor, and it is setup as one AiMesh mode. The backhaul connection “Uplink Type” is on 5GHz Wi-Fi with the Connection Quality Great.
From time to time, the RT-AC68U on the office loses/drops the AiMesh connection to the Main router for a minute or two them it gets reconnected again.
I’m aware of the DFS channels situation, and traying to avoid this I have tested with the check box ON to include DFS channels, and also tested with the check box OFF to exclude DFS channels, and on both situation the AiMesh connection drops from time to time.
What I do find strange, is when the connection drops all the “Secondary” router lights including 5GHz are ON like if it was working perfectly. But when I use my mobile phone Wifi Analyzer App the signal from the AiMesh node simply have vanished, and I’m only able to see the Main router 5GHz signal (see first and second iamge) until it backs to connect after one to two minutes (see third image).
Checking the System Log - Wireless Log on the router, it doesn’t give me any extra information why the connection dropped.
I know the best it to use ethernet cable as backhaul connection, but at moment I’m not capable to use it, because I need to do some construction work at home that only be done at the end of this summer.
Any idea what can I check for to avoid this connection drop?
Thanks,
ARamos
