That’ll be the Wife’s Work iPad and iPhone. Because they are corporate devises I’m not able to change any of the settings, all I can do is log them on to the Wi-Fi.

That said, since I toggled the IPV6 connection type the issue seems to have stopped?

None of my devices have IPV6 enabled?

I’ve just checked to make sure IPV6 is off and it was. I’ve toggled the “connection type” to enabled and back to disabled just in case, let’s see if it stopes.

Thank you and a Happy New Year.

Does anyone know what this log entry is and why I’m getting it?

 

“kernel: Failed delete entry fe80:0000:0000:0000:021c:2bff:fe1b:f758 *M”

Well 10 Days and no issues. It looks like your suggestions worked. Thank you

Right, I’ve updated again with the setting you have recommended and all is well so far. Fingers crossed.

I’ve probably put the mockers on it, but it’s been a week and no issues.

That is most unfortunate as you have been working well for nearly 3 weeks.

if you made no changes and still with same ISP, then maybe next time try tweaking the below to see if this helps.

 

 

• set 2.4GHz bandwidth to 20MHz
• fix control channels on 2.4GHz bands to 1, 6, or 11.
• disable Airtime Fairness & Beamforming (for testing)

I did read a while ago, setting ‘AMPDU RTS’ to enable helps with crowded 2.4GHz channel and also check ‘WMM APSD’ as this is a power saving option mainly for mobile devices and saving battery power, if its only mobile devices disappearing from list, could be this ?

 

Logs would be good if problem re-appears.

Well today was not a good day. 2Ghz devises started to randomly disappear and reappear from my network. I rebooted the whole system, No change. I reinstalled the latest firmware, done a factory reset, reinstalled the CFG file and within minutes it started to happen all over again. So I’ve had to regress back to FW_ZENWIFI_XT8_300438824710 and I’ve had no issues for the past 12 hours.

I know I should have pulled the logs, but I forgot too, I was so focused on getting the system back up and running. I’ll try again when I get a moment.

Great news, has you Wifi and LAN speeds remanded good as I have seen online that some did have issues with speeds decreased until they did a factory reset.

Web access from WAN enabled on upgrade, that’s not good especially if your not using the App.

I don’t know if Web access gets turned on by default by the upgrade, but it was strange it was on after?

I’ve done the speed checks on both the WAN & LAN and I’m not seeing any speed drops.

Also, the Signature updated this morning

Well it’s been 33 hours and no further issues other than someone trying to log in to the router, so I’ve disabled Web access from WAN, which must have been turned on when I upgraded.

The Time and date are correct and I’m not seeing any updates for Trend. I did disable “AiProtection” and reenabled it, now I’m not getting the “The router cannot connect to ASUS server …” error and it’s telling me that the firmware is up to date on my Mesh devises.

But I’m still getting the “Signature update failed.” message. It will be interesting to see if anyone else is having issues with the Signature update?

I also had four devices not reconnect to the network via WiFi (2G & 5G), so I rebooted them and all OK now.

I did a dirty upgrade using the method both you and @Grisu  mentioned.

One thing I have noticed though, before I upgraded I got the “The router cannot connect to ASUS server to check for the firmware update. Please download the latest firmware from ASUS Product Support Site and do manually upgrade. Check on FAQ for more instructions.” message, so I downloaded it using the link in one of the previous posts and I am still getting it with this version. I’m also getting “Signature update failed.”?

You might need something a little stronger

I think @Grisu mentioned something similar above, might be worth you taking a backup copy of your current config, then upgrade to new firmware and then take a backup of the new config.

Then factory reset and apply latest backup config, reboot and see how that goes ?

might save some time and let us know if this work ?

As an interesting thought, if you had “auto update” enabled on your XT8’s, I assume this would have updated your XT8’s automatically and by passed the factory reset advise given in the changelog

Well the deed has been done. Just one bottle of beer and noting in the swear box. All the iMesh nodes are there, all the devices have connected with their correct IP addresses and the routes are intact. Let’s see how things go.

I just need to register the AUSU cert for the https://  login, but that can wait.

So I have had feedback from ASUS and predictable ASUS say ‘perform factory reset’, alas from a business perspective, I don’t think any other option was going to be offered by ASUS.

We recommend perform a factory-default reset and set up from scratch.

Oh well, I’d better get the swear box out and make sure I have copious amounts of beer at hand. Thank you for confirming.
