ASUS RT-AX88U APCS_CSTIMER Logging Messages

[BradM]

Hi All,

I recently purchased an ASUS RT-AX88U. My last router was an ASUS RT-AC87U that served me well. I just needed something with more than 4 ports so the RT-AX88U seemed like a good fit. I saw some reviews that indicated it might a little daunting to setup. But it's working after some mods. I've been trying to get the system log to settle down and have made some changes to the config based on posts here and other places. First, the changes:

• To address a problem with the router losing internet connectivity I set the WAN DHCP query frequency to Normal
• To address some other log messages I was seeing I made these changes to the wireless config:
  • Wireless Mode = Auto
    
  • 802.11ax / Wi-Fi 6 mode = Disable
    
  • Multi-User MIMO = Disable
  • Explicit Beamforming = Disable
    
  • Universal Beamforming = Disable
    
  • 802.11ax/ac Beamforming = Disable

The log has settled down considerably. But I'm still seeing this repeating pattern in the log and wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas to try. Again, at this point its functioning fine, just trying to quiet the log, that's all. Appreciate any insight and guidance.

The acsd messages are because you have the 2.4GHz channel set to Auto. Try setting it at channel 1, 6 or 11.

Thanks Colin. I went into Wireless -> General -> 2.4
Saw that Controll Channel was set to Auto but the text beside it said
Current Control Channel: 3
So I manually set it to 3 and saved that.
