Hopefully, this helps everyone having the same frustrating experience as me. I've had endless issues with my Asus setup for years but as of today, I'm 100% happy!!!
I've fully eliminated the following issues:
- 2.4Ghz issues. Limited connectivity, no connections, unable to connect and extremely low bandwidth.
- Log errors: "not mesh client, can't update it's ip"
- Log errors: already exist in UDB, can't add it
To fix all three issues, here's what I did. I don't know exactly which change fixed each specific issue but as I said above, I'm 100% happy now with no connection errors or random freezes.
- Disable all guest networks.
- Toggle off the "Traffic Analyzer - Statistic" option on the Traffic Analyzer page.
I'll delete my other two posts looking for help and find fining the solution. I help this helps others. I also did send a note to the Asus team.
My setup information:
Ranging between 70-105 devices connected to our network at any given time. 60% wired/40% wireless.
The latest firmware's on all nodes are now being used.
