Noticed this morning that the mesh was back to 2.4GHz backhaul (even though I have turned off DFS channels on the backhaul and limited to 80MHz) and then the Internet stopped working (perhaps because I’d logged in?), and shortly after the connection went. No chance to see what had happened to the available RAM, but after a few minutes it restarted and now back to 131MB free.
I power cycled the mesh to get it to reconnect at 5GHz.
Why can’t Asus implement something in the code to try and reconnect to 5GHz without the need for a reboot? Optimising doesn’t do anything to fix it, and I don’t think it ever has.
The only things connected this morning to the mesh node is my son’s Xbox and some security cameras at the front of the house. That’s really not under any load, so it has to be the main router.
Edit: Having had issues for so long, but not wanting to schedule a reboot on the router (as it messes up connections to the USB drive) I have now put a smart plug on the mesh node and scheduled just the mesh to reboot once per day – around 5am – by turning it off for one minute.
