ZenWiFi Pro ET12: Cannot access router in local network

[Nesuprantu]

I have 3 mesh routers: ZenWiFi Pro ET12. They are set to: "Wireless router mode / AiMesh Router mode (Default)"

After upgrading router firmware to 3.0.0.4.388_24610 I was not able to access it locally via 192.168.50.1 or any other local device. The issue was that Default Gateway was undefined and setting it to 192.168.50.1 fixed the issue.

Several weeks later, I am having same issue, but Default Gateway is set to same value. I am not sure what the issue could be, because I have an internet when connecting to the router and I can access the router via my public IP.

Trying to connect to the router (via 192.168.50.1) gives "ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE" error in Chrome. Trying to connect to any local devices gives "ERR_CONNECTION_RESET" error.

Can you tell us what are the IP addresses of the three routers?  Typical setup is one router and the rest nodes.  From your original post it sounds like all three are set to router mode, which I am hoping is not the case/just a misunderstanding...

I don't even know how can I set all of them to operate as routers. When adding second node to the network it is automatically added as a node.

Router is: 192.168.50.1

2nd node: 192.168.50.191

3nd node: 192.168.50.254

Can you ping the inside and outside IP addresses? What leases have been used, any conflicting and how long are your leases? If you statically set the gateway at 192.168.50.1, did you exclude that address in DHCP?

[Nesuprantu]

I was using default lease value of 86400.

Regarding DHCP, I have set IP Pool Starting Address to 192.168.50.101 so I can have static addresses for some of my local devices.

In any case, I did a factory reset on my nodes and that fixed the issue. I can now access all my devices.
