3d21H and the 5ghz has restarted. Node is not stable.Anyone having trouble with mesh nodes? My router wifi (2 and 5ghz) has an uptime of 3 days and the 5 ghz on the node also 3 days uptime but the 2.4 on the node has dropped.View attachment 32910

Hi @banger, how did you check the AP Uptime? I can't find this anywhere. I would like to check mine because it seems my node drops sometimes.Anyone having trouble with mesh nodes?

I used Winfi Lite on my PC which tells you AP uptime, also Wifi Analyzer from windows store is a free app which under the network tab tells you AP uptime.Hi @banger, how did you check the AP Uptime? I can't find this anywhere. I would like to check mine because it seems my node drops sometimes.

uptime
marco@RT-AC68U_WHITE7130:/tmp/home/root# uptime
19:13:23 up 2 days, 12:21, load average: 0.21, 0.08, 0.06
With all due respect that shows the OS Uptime not actual AP uptime which can vary.Just login into your node using the same credentials you use for your main router and type:
Code:uptime
and it’ll show you the uptime and some additional info like load average.

Winfi Lite is pretty cool. I can see my router and node 5G radios uptime:I used Winfi Lite on my PC which tells you AP uptime, also Wifi Analyzer from windows store is a free app which under the network tab tells you AP uptime.
I wasn't aware there was a difference, but thanks for correcting me.With all due respect that shows the OS Uptime not actual AP uptime which can vary.
Sometimes when making configuration changes to wifi sections the AP will restart. Sometimes it will restart all of its own right in the middle of streaming stuff without a reboot.I wasn't aware there was a difference, but thanks for correcting me.

I believe 384 branch was ok but there is a lot of security fixes under the bridge since then. Unless one tried 384 on the node and 386 on the router. Not sure Mesh will work.This is certainly not by design and not normal.
but not unusual. i get it sometimes when I do a speed test and get close to 850Mbps (wifi restarts)This is certainly not by design and not normal.
I've never seen USB transfer speeds soo slow as today with 386.2.
I knew they were like much slower than 384.19, but if a torrent client is running in any client it slows down to a crawl. With both cores to 100%, and that's with USB 2.0!!! Yes, 2.0 only, i switched to it because 386.2 was soo slow it caused ping spikes if someone was reading from USB. But even with USB 2.0 under some scenarios I get 100% cpu usage.
I tried disabling cake, made barely any difference.
Other than that, rock solid since beta 3.
Bind option on the node has disappeared, but I suppose that is to be expected. Also if you change Firmware check to No there is no Apply button.Trying 384.19 on the node. Mesh seems to work ok will monitor.

Yes I am aware of the differences between the 384 branch and 386 branches but it is a quick and dirty test of wireless stability.384 code only has Amesh 1.0. 386 code has Amesh 2.0 mixing them will likely cause a headache. Reading all the issues people are having with the 386 code one would have to start thinking it's half baked at this point. Painfully long Alpha and beta stages are a obvious clue there are problems. Asus even quit responding to there own self stared Beta thread. Crickets.
