I sent my feedback today to ASUS. I shared the logs except for the Additional WiFi DHD Log as I didn’t want to reboot the system. I mentioned I had been coordinating with UK Sentinel on UKTechHub.com. System still stable after 132 hours. Thanks for your support and advice.

What is the best communication channel to use to get a response please, based on your vast experience? Thanks

The stability is great. Now 82 hours without an issue and 88 devices connected. Is it worthwhile for me to raise this as a separate ethernet backhaul issue with ASUS for release 388.22127?

I have not tried without the daily automatic reboot since the firmware downgrade. Daily automatic reboot is now switched off and the node stability is currently 10 hours!! I will keep you informed.

Since the automatic reboot at 07:45 CET, the system has been stable including the XD4s on release 386.49599.

Is it worthwhile or necessary for me to raise this issue directly with ASUS?

Thanks

Hi @UK Sentinel,

Thanks for the suggestions and your follow-up with ASUS. I followed your suggestion and made the following hardwired connections: ISP modem / router in Bridge Mode to ET12 in AiMesh Router Mode to ET12 in AiMesh Node Mode. The connection still failed after some hours but the LED on the node stayed white instead of red, but in the Web GUI the node was shown as disconnected. The issue with the XD4 dropping to 10/100 was also caused by the ET12. Rebooting the XD4 made no difference, but rebooting the ET12 fixed the issue. I also had issues with some IOT 2.4GHz not connecting to the nearest node, so I increased the dBm from -70 to -60 in Roaming Assistant. I also found that disabling the WMM APSD helped with the IOT connection stability. I also enabled the Reboot Scheduler to reboot every morning, but it didn’t completely resolve the ET12 node disconnection issue, so I downgraded the firmware on all three ET12s to release 386.48823 and it has been reliable so far (all the XD4s are also on release 386).

Hi @UK Sentinel – I have a mesh network with three ET12 and seven XD4 all hardwired connected to a 2.5 gb switch and a 1g internet connection. The ET12’s wired nodes keep dropping connections (the ET12 as the router is OK) showing a solid red LED. This is very frustrating and I couldn’t resolve the issue. Please let me know if you get an answer from ASUS.

There is a firmware Beta Version 9.0.0.6.102.3506 48.84 MB 2022/12/30 – do you imagine this will resolve the 388 FW issue or is it a hardware issue?

I also have another issue with an XD4 where intermittently the 1g wired connection drops to 10/100. Is this a related issue?
