I have an RT-AX88U-Pro for my AiMesh Router and an RT-AX88U for my AiMesh Node. Both running on their latest version of Merlins firmware. Now it's at 3004.388.8_4.
Last month I set the AX88U as AiMesh Node and it was working perfectly. I could unplug it and move it to different locations and it kept reconnecting as an AiMesh Node. It showed in the router GUI and mobile app consistently. Then I setup WAN Aggregation and was getting the WAN Aggregation 2Gbps connection but lost the AX88U AiMesh node. I need the AiMesh Node more than a 2Gps ethernet because I rarely use ethernet. I removed the WAN Aggregation and tried to get the AX88U AiMesh Node back. The AX88U-Pro detects the AX88U and says it is set as the AiMesh Node after setup but it does't show in the GUI or mobile app like it did before. Every time I check the network Map there are no clients connected to the AiMesh Node. It does show up in the Network Map client list but it is reporting no Tx Rate or Rx Rate activity. I do notice that during AiMesh setup...when it finds the AX-88U router, it doesn't have a MAC address. Its always (00:00:00:00:00:00). When it says it was successful there is a MAC address assigned to it. Please see the screen shots attached.
I've followed all the steps of resetting the AX-88U and keeping it at close to the AX88U-Pro. I've tried setting it up with the ethernet cable to WAN port. I tried setting it up through the mobile app and every time it tells me the setup was successful but the AiMesh Node is not there. Did I break something by setting up WAN Aggregation? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
