    Things mentioned in the forums (which you've no doubt tried) include:

    "Beacon Interval set to 3, Disabled Auto Optimize, No High Performing devices forced to 5 Ghz, no blocking of Multicast trafic."

    For a hail mary trouble shooting step (makes no sense), someone also mentioned trying a different DNS for each WAP - (eg. 1.1.1.1 on one and 8.8.8.8 on another).
    Tried everything but the hail Mary and downgrade. Just downgraded all my APs. Tested 2 laptops, and it seems to have fixed the problem lol. Will confirm by morning since this shit happens overnight.

    Downgraded to 4.0.10 from December 2018. What a fucking shit show.

    Does the update release info from 4.0.10 to the next version, offer any hints as to WTF is going on?

    I haven’t looked. I’m sure nobody has a clue including ubnt. Ubnt staff is still working with a few people trying to isolate it. Still active this morning.

    https://community.ui.com/questions/C...d3b48d?page=33

    Just crazy that even ubnt doesn’t know after a year. My errors over 24 hrs is continually dropping. 0 errors in last hour. Both laptops connected immediately before I unlocked them this morning. So I consider my issues fixed.

    Maybe this weekend I’ll upgrade firmware one after another to isolate the version. @kenny is on a 3 month newer version with no problems, and @benyl is on latest but with much lower errors than I experienced.

    Down to 0 errors after 24 hours across the board. I’m a sucker for punishment, on to firmware upgrades one by one to isolate the bad version haha.

    Well I’ve now upgraded everything to the latest version and the problem didn’t come back. I’ve changed nothing else. So the bug looks to manifest itself if you don’t start off with an older version of firmware. When I got my APs it forced a firmware update and went straight to the latest version. Probably some depreciated option that’s still referenced in the newer firmware.

    So if you ever run into this problem, downgrade to the original 4.0.x release and upgrade. I’d hate to have to manage a large installation to deal with this shit. Explains why larger installs have this problem across just some APs, as any new APs would skip versions to the latest during the adoption process.

    If any of those other than access control is non zero in a 24h period, you probably have the problem. Can isolate it down to which AP is problematic using the filter on the right.

    Are you applying the firmware in the sequence ? ie From 4.0.X -> 4.0X+1.......to 4.3.X?

    I did, yea. The problem is easy to duplicate on a Mac so I just upgraded, tested, repeat.

    Good luck. Hopefully ubnt figures this shit out so we don’t have to go thru this.

    awesome thank you, just ordered it. This is already at the top end of what i want to spend on networking gear ($180 shipped) so not really wanting to go to wifi 6 for now.

    Now hopefully i can figure out a way to migrate my settings from my current Asus router on to this one as I really don't want to set up all my devices/IoT stuff again. In the past i've tried setting up new networks wih the same SSID name and passwords, but devices wouldn't connect without going through the whole connection process again. Probably some underlying security/certificate stuff that i didn't bother looking into further. Crossing my fingers that there is a way to easily migrate network with these two models since they are the same manufacturer and relatively same generation.
    Migration is not that simple. I just upgraded my main AC68U to this AC86U, however the settings transfer process hangs the 86U. I ended up installing the new router and having the old router direct-wired to a laptop and copying settings over to the new one. Then you can reset the old router and add as an AIMesh node.

    Any problems if I run POE cable through these boxes-specifically the one that houses the Shaw cable?

    That's how I ran CAT6 to my outdoor AP. Just make sure you reseal it so shit doesn't get into your basement.

    Yup, i tried migrating settings to my new AC86U from my old AC66U and it didn't work. It looked like the settings loaded, but then after reboot it just would not pick up my internet connection. Tried twice with no dice. Ended up just setting it up from scratch using the same SSID names/passwords i had and all my devices connected just fine. Restored my old 66U to factory default and set it up as an AIMesh using their instructions with no issues.

    It was a pretty clean and easy process... probably would have taken me 10 mins total if it wasn't for my two failed attempts of migrating that wasted 15 mins. Pretty happy with my setup now and no issues getting wifi in the furthest point in my back yard now.

    When i get some time, i'm going to try and run an ethernet cable to connect the two routers instead of using WIFI for some extra robustness but no rush for now. (i think this is called gigabit backhaul?)
