Asus AiMess

I have an AiMeshg Asus setup in my house with 4 nodes.

I have a total of 70 wired and wifi devices in-home (light switches, cameras, Sonos, etc.)

The Firewalla is connected to the first node (GT-AXE16000).

My Nodes all keep going offline. Can anyone help me with what is wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That are all connected via either net and Firewalla is changed to monitoring turned off

Which Firewalla are you using? and is it in router mode?

And how is your Asus units link to each other? Ethernet? or Wifi?

Gold with 2.5 GB the Firewalla is in router mode? They are linked via Ethernet.

Are there switches involved, or are the nodes all linked via ethernet to each other?

How are you linking the AiMesh nodes, are they all connect together to the main AIMesh, or parallel to the main AIMesh?

They are connected via the Ethernet direct to the router. When I switch to Router on the Asus Router I have no issue it’s just through the Firewalla.

They are all connected through the main then daisy chained between the other two.

If they are connecting all via ethernet from the LAN port of the main unit, they the mesh connectivity is not going through firewalla; have you checked cabling? or if AIMesh can be daisy chained? or should the child nodes all be connected in parallel to the main unit?

On the GT-AXE16000 nothing is plugged into the WAN port?

This is fairly strange... and not intuitive. The LAN of the main AiMesh unit is to the LAN of the router ... and WAN of the satellites are to the same LAN ...
