Asus router in Media Bridge mode loses connection to Orbi multiple times a day
I am trying to use my ASUS AC-68U as a media bridge in my home office where I have several gateways that don't have wifi (SolarCity, Honeywell, etc.) plus my work computer connecting via ethernet cab...
Looks like I spoke too soon... woke up this morning to a dropped wifi connection. The ASUS router said it was connected to the Orbi, but there was no access to the network or internet. Looking at the ASUS router logs, it looks like it rebooted itself a couple times overnight. There are no log entries just before the router reboots itself...
I've attached the log file (with IP addresses redacted)
This maybe something to bring up to ASUS support and see if anyone there can review this. Seems like something on the ASUS isn't working as expected.
I have a NG WNHDE111 wireless bridge. Its an older 5Ghz N bridge however it connects fine to the satellite in the next room. Mom in law watches DISH joey thru it. You might try a different wireless bridge and see if anything is different.
Yeah, I contacted ASUS support on Thursday... they said it would be a couple business days before someone would get back to me. :/
Keep us posted...
ASUS wants me to send in my router for analysis, but I don't think it is a hardware issue since 2 different models of ASUS routers have shown the same behavior. Both models use the same fw package, though.
So... I'm stuck.
Might be worth them having a look. If there willing to look at it, could be something on there end.
