Deco X60 - unstable system - how to troubleshoot?
I replaced a Netgear Arlo mesh system at home with TP-Link X60 (3 units) a couple of weeks ago.
The mesh mostly works. But maybe once or twice a day, the whole system seems to become unresponsive for a few minutes - I had no such issue with my prior setup. Quite sure it is not the fiber connection but the WiFi mesh. I am not completely clear what is happening, maybe one unit losing connection with the other (I see it flashing red).
I believe these ERROR log entries correspond to one such outage:
Mon Aug 29 11:24:05 2022 daemon.err udhcpd[12897]: clear ip c00a8c0
Mon Aug 29 11:25:30 2022 daemon.err tmpsvr[5000]: Error: tmp_trans_relay
Mon Aug 29 11:25:57 2022 daemon.err tmpsvr[5000]: Error: tmp_trans_relay
Mon Aug 29 11:26:00 2022 daemon.err nrd[12919]: wlanifBSteerEventsBufRdCB: Read error! # bytes=0
1. any idea what might be causing the problem?
2. any suggesting on how to troubleshoot such an issue? Is the error log usually your first stop?
(to be honest I have owned dozens of routers and always looked at their log files - the TP-Link deco must rank among the most unfriendly logs I have ever encountered - and that's even after downloading them and opening them in VS Code with syntax highlighting).
Thanks in advance.
