New Around Here
I've been running a AiMesh for 2+ years now, and there always seems to be an issue. Last week, Asus sent me a replacement XT8 node after multiple attempts to troubleshoot via chat and phone. When I received that replacement, I did a factory reset on all 3 (main + 2 nodes) after ensuring all were on the latest firmware. I have a case open with them, but I've consistently received poor support. I've seen a lot of people get help here, so I'm going to try.
All 3 units running on 3.0.0.4.388_21617.
The bottom line for the current issue is this: the two nodes repeatedly get kicked to the 2.4 band for backhaul, slowing everything considerably. If I perform a reboot of the system, the problem goes away, only to return later. What I'm noticing in the logs repeatedly - multiple times per minute - is this:

Why would the main router continually register the backhaul interface? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
