Solved Node does not reconnect to AiMesh after reboot

[BeachGuy]

No everything is stable and runs great (does not disconnect). I only pointed out that if I reboot the node (RT-AC68W) by itself it will not reconnect to the mesh. If I reboot the system through AiMesh menu it does.

This all came about because I was trying to figure out a way to reboot the AiMesh system automatically. I started by the scedule reboot main router and noticed the node did not reconnect. Then someone on the forum offered a script to reboot node and that works but again will not reconnect to mesh system. I thought rebooting periodically was a good practice to clear memory and other stuff but I probably don't need to reboot anything as everything is stable. And if I need to reboot, I can reboot the system manually through AiMesh.

Would love to replace with AX router but that cost $ and I have the RT-AC68W laying around and works fine.

I figured this out for anybody that has the same issue and configured it like I did. Because all of my devices can run 5GHz I set router and node to 5GHz and turned off 2.4GHz on both router (Wireless settings) and node (AiMesh: Management). Turns out the node needs 2.4GHz to "communicate" with the main router. Once I turned that on for the node (AiMesh: Management) everything reboots and connects fine every time. I left the 2.4GHz off in main router wireless settings but left it on in AiMesh: Management. All clients are connected @ 5GHz but node is able to communicate to main router on 2.4GHz.
