RT-BE7200 Random disconnections

[shileno]

Hi, I have an AIMesh setup with two RT-BE7200 for a few weeks already and clients suddenly lose the WiFi connection.

Symptoms are very similar to this thread https://zentalk.asus.com/t5/networking/rt-be92u-on-going-random-losses-of-internet-wan-access/td-p/4...

So I was looking at maybe applying the same solution, but I noticed something weird. The firmware on my router (auto updated via the UI) shows this firmware installed in both routers:

 RT-BE7200 : 3.0.0.6.102_37103-g8c8d7fb_980-gbd310_BB0B

But looking at the Support/Download page of the model, the latest firmware listed is a different one:

ASUS RT-BE7200 Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_37094

Does it have the proper firmware? Should I manually install the one in the router support page? Is it safe?

Thank you all in advance.

Sometimes the firmware is uploaded to the server ASUSwrt accesses before the web page.  I wouldn't worry about it being incorrect.

In the thread you reference the OP has a USB device connected, which can make noise that affect WiFi.  If you are having trouble with WiFi and have a USB HDD/flash drive connected my first advice would be to disconnect it and see if the dropping stops.  I believe someone relocated the USB with a quality shielded cable and this helped for someone with the noise issue...

Hi, thanks for your response.

No, I don't have any USB device connected.

I referenced that post because I do see in the logs the same

kernel: WLC_SCB_DEAUTHENTICATE_FOR_REASON err -30
kernel: WLC_SCB_DEAUTHORIZE error (-30)

The firmware I was able to find it under the RT-BE88U, and seems to be the same router, which makes it more confusing.

Which firmware should be using?

Hi @shileno ,

We sincerely apologize for the delayed response due to the recent holiday, as we were out of the office.

Regarding your inquiry, the RT-BE88U/BE7200 WiFi 7 AiMesh Dual-Band Gaming Routers are the same model. We recommend that you download the latest firmware (3.0.0.6.102_37103) from the RT-BE88U official website and check if the issue persists.

We greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Thank you.
