ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 roamast: [ERROR]maclist mis-match

[mstendah]

I have a Mesh with four XT8 and one RP-AX58.

I seem to have unreliability issues with the WiFi from time to time (it sits behind a very reliable and robust 1Gbps fibre connection) and I can see quite a lot of errors in the log. I have factory resetted the system numerous times and tried to optimize settings according to recommendations by ASUS. Below is an extract from the log. Firmware is  3.0.0.4.388_24688. Any idea what these errors are, if they might be linked to the instability I experience and how to mitigate them?
