I'm two versions behind the newly released one, which means i skipped one version and am now asking about the new one. Not as dramatic as you make it sound, really. We're not counting the small incremental updates inbetween which doesn't upgrade the GPL, where the problem most likely resides.
"Most likely" being the key word above, if you don't know, it's assuming.
Without proper testing we do NOT actually know, and we don't run on assumptions which is why your mostly seeing crickets with your report.
Just because you don't count the minor versions doesn't mean they don't exist, so actually yes it's 5 versions to everyone else following the threads and updating on a consistent bases.
If we were to only count GPL updates as actual updates; we wouldn't get anywhere fast since GPL updates fully rely on ASUS, and many changes are done between the GPL updates from
@RMerlin just as an example.
Just because a GPL change is "likely" the culprit means very little until backed with evidence of logs of a specific version where it starts.
This is why I am asking for such evidence and troubleshooting around the issue, so we can properly note the issue your experiencing.
Clients disconnecting and reconnecting ("micro-disconnections"). A very common problems with Asus and Aimesh setup which is resolved by reverting to the previous FW and waiting for a new one to fix that (and probably break something else, but hopefully not too significant), or wasting your life trying to chase down a million squirrels representing different settings on both the router and clients, to no avail because it turns out to be Asus abscent QC.
Whether or not ASUS missed it in QC; does not help us or them narrow it down further.
If the problem really exists in the code base, you should be able to replicate it, and we should be able to narrow it down.
Do you have system logs showing the issues? Until we receive logs or any further troubleshooting or evidence; your going to be clearly spinning your tires in the mud.
The chances of somebody having to skip a version because of issues is fairly high in the Asus neck of the woods.
As i mentioned, I remember reading others having issues with 388.8, which is why I specifically asked people who were still on 388.7 who had tried the new 388.9.
And have you found those posts again to share? Again for the sake of argument, even if I believe you, where should I start? How would I replicate?
Most people here clearly don't have this issue; and your telling us it exists without logs or screenshot of the problem and configuration.
You might think your chances are high of getting a useful response with someone serving you the answer on a silver platter, but based on the hours going by.... Not so sure.
You should really focus on properly troubleshooting and reporting the issues in current versions where they exist (maybe with a single node first) and report back.
Thanks!
