Well I think the $199 at BB is a decent price as I cannot see any pro in Canada websites?Then 2x AX86S will be good matching nodes, but I've got one months ago for CAD180 from BestBuy.

#acknowledgedGet whatever you think fits your budget and needs, but this conversation is unrelated to 388_22525 firmware for AX86U/S routers.
I’ve been on 3.0.0.4.386_46061for ages, would stay up for months. But recently started becoming more unstable. So updated to 3.0.0.4.388_22525. So far it’s been a few days and everything is working very well. I’ve got a wired backhaul and all sorts of smart home devices. I’m pleased with this version.ASUS RT-AX86 Series(RT-AX86U/RT-AX86S) Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525

1.Fixed CVE-2022-46871
2.Fixed Client DOM Stored XSS.
3.Improved AiMesh backhaul stability.
4.Fixed AiMesh topology UI bugs.
5.Fixed the reboot issue when assigning specific clients in VPN fusion.
6.Fixed the VPN fusion bug when importing the Surfshark WireGuard conf file.
7.Fixed network map bugs.
What do you mean by connection lost? WIFI will not connect or WAN looses connection to the internet?I’m having random issues whereby connection is completely lost and a manual reboot is required.
Ax86u with wired mesh to Ax86s, largely default settings apart from locking channels, AI protection on, roaming and smart connect off

Sounds like it is time for a factory reset and manually configure and use the default WIFI settings including SmartConnect. Don't use DFS and stay with WPA2-Personal.Can’t connect to Wi-Fi, all devices are kicked off
Yeah was thinking of doing a factory reset, I don’t use DFS anyway, hopefully a reset solves this issueSounds like it is time for a factory reset and manually configure and use the default WIFI settings including SmartConnect. Don't use DFS and stay with WPA2-Personal.
Having a strange issue with AX86U on 22525. The client list seems to be stuck to the status as of a couple days ago. It's not showing any of the new devices that have connected since that time. I'm seeing the issue in:
However, I do see the new devices on the System Log - DHCP Leases tab. Also noteworthy, the Android app has been alerting me when new devices connect to the network, but the new devices don't show up on any of the above 3 lists.
- Client Status on main web GUI page
- View List link from main web GUI page
- Devices list in the Android app
I have not rebooted the router. I suspect a reboot would probably temporarily clear the issue, but how long before it shows up again? I'm mostly wondering - is anyone else having this issue? And is there any way I can poke at this list to force it to refresh without rebooting?
Everything else on the router seems to be functioning properly, so this is mostly a nuisance, but I really would like a way to reliably see the devices on my network. I am willing to reboot and/or reset my router if that's my only recourse, just checking to see if this is widespread and if there are any workarounds.
Thanks for any feedback.
Check the memory usage tab. It could be memory leak.An update on this - I factory reset the router and set everything up from scratch. The client list was updating properly for a while, maybe a few weeks, but eventually stopped updating. So I assume this is just a bug in the firmware, and as others have mentioned, likely a long-standing bug. Hope this can get addressed by ASUS at some point.
Maybe coincidentally, I noticed that when the client list stops updating, the System Log - Port Forwarding tab is also broken. Clicking on that tab breaks the web GUI temporarily and adds a bunch of kernel errors to the general log.

Scheduled reboots will clear issue as a band aid
I quite often see the ethernet port in yellow but not the gaming one.I have run this software on my Aimesh node and discover some quirks.
Is't just me or do you guys see same thing? Have some LAN connected.

High RAM use usually indicates you have used Samba file sharing. The router should clear some of that used memory in time. But I have seen the memory hover above 90% for days with no ill effect.I quite often see the ethernet port in yellow but not the gaming one.
I also have RAM at approx. 90% used without knowing why.
If the AX86 follows the same firmware as the others (3.0.0.4.388_23012) , their changelogs mention the following;Check the memory usage tab. It could be memory leak.
