Satellite Router (Archer BE230) Keeps Dropping 5GHz on Wired EasyMesh
a week ago
Model: Archer BE230  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.5 Build 20260108 rel.68570

Hi,

I am using two Archer BE230 routers connected via Ethernet cable (Wired EasyMesh). The main router works fine, but the satellite router frequently drops the 5GHz band and only broadcasts 2.4GHz.



 

Troubleshooting done:



 

.Verified the Ethernet connection is active and stable.

.Factory reset the satellite router and re-added it to the mesh.

.Changed the 5GHz channel on the main router to fixed channels (e.g., 36, 44) instead of Auto.



 

These steps fix the issue temporarily, but the 5GHz band drops again after a while. Is there a permanent solution or a known firmware bug?

Hello  @waseemadiga ,

Welcome to our community.

 

May I know the complete topology? For example, ISP modem—BE230—)))((( client devices

(Note: — stands for wired connection,)))((( stands for wireless connection )

 

Is there a switch between the BE230 routers? If yes, please remove it for the comparison test. 

In addition to changing the channel number (which you've already done), try adjusting the 5GHz channel width. Set it to 80 MHz or 40 MHz instead of Auto or 160 MHz, as wider channels can sometimes cause stability issues.

 

If possible, please swap the roles of the two routers, that is, set the Satellite node as the main router for comparison, to confirm whether the 5G disconnection only occurs in a specific router unit or a specific role.

  @Jos The topology is: ISP Modem — Main BE230 — Satellite BE230. There is no switch between them. I changed the channel width to 80 MHz and will monitor it. If it fails, I will swap the routers.

  @waseemadiga ,

Any updates for your case? I noticed you replied to another post—it seems the situation remains unchanged?

  @Joseph-TP HI Joseph

 

 

unfortunately the issue still remains and i think it is a firmware issue because i noticed that it is not only me and other people who face the same issue they have the same firmware version 

 

we are looking forward to solve this issue with new firmware
