This happens even if you have just one router and no AiMesh. So I doubt it s related to AiMesh. I have just one Asus router and my logs are flooded with wlceventd events.
This is a new router and it looks like the only solution is to replace the Asus router with a different brand. Do a Google search on "wlceventd" and you can see it is a common problem that has been going on for some time. I doubt it will ever be fixed.

The RT-AX86U Pro is new. Before giving up the boat I highly suggest you try the latest firmware 3.0.0.4.388.23285 that was just released 2023/05/15.
My single RT-AX86U is a node in my network and I was happy prior, and am currently happy with it’s performance…

The firmware is the latest. I unboxed the router last week and updated the firmware before placing it into service.
This Asus router replaced a very old Linksys WiFi 5 (ac) router that never had this problem
The practical issue is that I'm using an Apple Homepod mini as a "border router" to bridge a Thread "fabric" (aka network) to the LAN. A solution might be to use multiple border routers. Thread allows this.
Thread is the new home automation network. It is inherently "mesh" and is based on IP v6. If it goes down for even a second, then things lke light bulbs and heating stop working. I might have to retun the Asus router and go with something with better reliabilty and also have redundent border routers. It is very bad to get up and night and find the lights stop working for minutes at a time. Also need to find an Ethernet connected border router. I just need to design a system that still works even after a couple failures. So I'm buying and testing stuff. I was shocked at this router's unreliabilry.
I've found other bugs in the curruent firmware. Like failing to list all clients on the LAN.

I am now struggling with WAN access. These routers are a big disappointment and a constant hassle. I totally agree about the unreliablity statement above.
Do not buy Asus routers unless you want to spend hundreds of hours analyzing problems.
