Hi there,
I've been having some strange issues in getting my WiFi mesh network to work without hiccups. I have an XR1000 running firmware version 1.0.0.64_1.0.49, and my two mesh extenders are an EAX15v2 and EX6250. The issue is that some WiFi devices are periodically kicked off the network (as in, connected with no internet). Normally it is one or two devices every few days, but the problem seems to be amplified when there are a greater number of devices connected to the mesh network - in this case, multiple devices will be kicked off daily. Sometimes refreshing the ip configuration on the device in question fixes the issue, but other times a restart of the router is required. I've noticed some strange behaviour on the Device Manager tree that I'm not sure is abnormal behaviour (and if it is, if it is a related issue). The screenshot below shows the entry for the EAX15v2 in Device Manager after an up-time of a few days (the same thing happens with the EX6250 too); it has had dozens of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses issued to it. Even if I assign a static ip address to the extender in the LAN config of the XR1000, the same thing happens, with dozens of addresses being shown under the MAC address of the extender. In terms of the devices dropping out, I have tried mu-mimo on/off, smart connect on/off, ofdma on/off etc., but the behaviour seems consistent across all of these settings changes. I have also tried resetting the XR1000, and doing the firmware update via the TFTP method (which fixed a slow RApp loading issue that I was having).
Any Advice would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Rhys
