I’ve a 2927 LAC router, linked to a cable modem by way of the WAN1 port, with a SIM card backup on LTE. That is onerous wired to 2x AP802’s, and there’s a third AP802 on mesh Hop 1 by way of wi-fi.
The wired AP802s are configured to make use of the cables for backhaul. The general ‘mesh’ setup seems fairly steady – if I login to the router the mesh is consistently inexperienced, and I can’t see something that appears like instability within the syslogs.
Units can join reliably to wifi on 2.4GHz and 5GHz (separate SSIDs) in all areas of the home, and I can see that they’re linked within the ‘purchasers’ depend.
The difficulty seems to be that the hyperlink to the router recurrently drops out, dropping out the web connection for something linked by way of a mesh node. Doesn’t appear to matter if it’s wired or one of many wi-fi ones. For instance, if I sit in the lounge and connect with the wired mesh node (which I arrange a selected SSID on so I might select which node I linked to with certainty), sometimes the router, and due to this fact the web, will simply be unreachable. It’s just like the community simply drops out, and the node retains me linked however can’t route me correctly.
Identical difficulty happens with the wi-fi node. Identical difficulty additionally happens if I flip off the 2 wired nodes and connect with the wi-fi node (in order that I do know it’s meshed to the router as root, and never attempting to ship visitors by a wired node).
It’s mainly just like the mesh a part of issues is simply unstable, which type of defeats the purpose of the mesh I assume…
Can anybody provide any perception on issues I ought to test, change, or tweak?
