Hello everyone.
I have a rather annoying problem with my AiMesh network for which I can't seem to find any solutions. Here are the details about it. Recently I have decided to add another router to my network as I was having issue with range. I live in UK and my provider is VirginMedia and my router is connected to their which I use in modem mode. I do not have the ethernet cables to where wanted to put them, so I've opted for wireless route. My issues began nearly momentarly, as my router (RT-AC86U) failed to establish connection with new AiMesh router (RT-AX52 (AX1800)). I have downloaded the latest software and reset the new router to no results, so I have resorted to connecting them with an ethernet cable. That finally worked and I thought that was it. Unfortunetly, this is where my current problems began. I fully expected slower speeds, maybe even a break in signal (which all happened), but it got much worse. As soon as I enabled AiMesh, I began to experience problems with my PC and PS5 wired connection. Slowdowns were often and complete disconnection was also not uncommon. I have observed the router loosing all connection to the modem (the light became red) and all ethernet connection were switched off. At first I thought it might be my service provider and their modem/router to be the issue, so I have restarted it completely. That didn't help (and it was working without a hitch before AiMesh). I have then thought it might the primary router being to slow, so I have bought a new one (GT-AX11000). I have copied over the entire profile from the old router to the new one, Tried to establish the AiMesh again, and again I had the same issue on setup. This made me think that it might be the new router I bought (RT-AX52 (AX1800)), and tried connecting the old one (while having it wiped and checked for updates). It did setup through the wireless setup, and I thought of using it instead. This however was shortlived as the problems mentioned above with ethernet connection dropping and slowdowns still persisted. The only thing that seems to fix the issue is not have AiMesh routers (I have decided to connect both of them) turned off. Turning off either of them will not help, only when both are off, the internet is stable again.
I know this is a looooong paragraph but i have spent weeks on this issue and the only thing I can still try is to rebuild the network from scratch which I would really rather not do.
