Hi there - first time poster, longtime luker. Hopefully, someone has some suggestions for the issue described below.
Specs:
RT-AC88U – Firmware: Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13 Mode: Router
Blue Cave – Firmware: 3.0.0.4_384_45708 Mode: AiMesh Node
On my Samsung TV, I watch recordings through our Samba share each night that play through until morning or whenever I stop it, without interruption. This has worked great since the RT-AC88U has gone online.
Recently, I purchased a Blue Cave to cover some low points in my house's coverage area. The Blue Cave is setup as an AiMesh node and has a direct Ethernet connection to the router. This has been a great addition and I now have a strong coverage throughout the house.
My Samsung TV is now connecting to the Blue Cave for network access and I am able to access my Samba share. My issue is that intermittently, while watching videos, the video stops and then I am instantly brought back to the Samba menu screen. I am able to re-select a video and it will continue where things left off. While connected to the Blue Cave, the continuous Samba streaming may last for an hour or 4 hours before it disconnects (or maybe loses it's buffer). If I disconnect the Blue Cave from the network, I can seamlessly watch videos without any interruption; continuous streaming for 36-hours or more.
See the attached image for a detailed network layout.
