Hi All,

I enjoyed stable connectivity using RT-BE88U as my AiMesh router and RT-AX59U as a node for quite a while and recently updated the BE88U to the latest 3.0.0.6.102_37094 FW on BE88U. Since then, AiMesh does not work.

BE88U does not see the AX59U as an available node.

Steps I tried:
-WPS-reset the AX59U multiple times
- Upgraded to the latest FW
- WPS-reset the BE88U
- Flashed the latest FW again manually (3.0.0.4.388_33405)and WPS-reset again.
To no avail.

Ethernet pairing steps:
- Paired them up using Ethernet and they connected and synced up
- Changed the setting to prefer 5GHz as bakhaul for the mesh network
- Rebooted AX59U
- BE88U shows AX59U as offline.
- AX59U's LED is white, as if connected
- Used the option to reboot the mesh network in the Android app and both routers rebooted
- Connected via LAN to AX59U and it provides Internet connectivity, though BE88U does not show the client connected to AX via Ethernet in its interface. EDIT: On the main screen when I view the devices connected it shows the client connected via Ethernet to the AX59U as connected via Ethernet, the AX59U still shows as not connected.

Any idea how to fix this mess apart from running an Ethernet cable from BE to AX, which is not an option for me?
