Gentlemen, good morning.
I have a home network comprising a Fritzbox 7590 (the "source" of my internet connection) with its own wifi and wifi channel and a few devices connected on the LAN ports.
From one of these LAN ports, I have a tiny switch where I have connected two mango and one Beryl AX.
The cable from the switch is connected to the devices' WAN port, and their "local" IP is fixed and outside of the Fritz DHCP range.
Each device outputs its own wifi, and each wifi is configured with its own channel and SSID to avoid conflict.
To keep wiring neat, all of those devices are within 10 cm of each other.
The two Mango have just one client and provide a different VPN to such client.
The Beryl is just used for the adguard filter and occasionally for vpn.
This is why 3 devices. each one performs (well, should perform) one function only so no mess or errors should happen.
What is happening is that, pretty often, parts of this contraption stops responding, with Mangos being more prone to fail than the Beryl.
It looks like the Mango's wifi disappears or , if it's there, no traffic can pass, to the point that it's impossible to load the admin access page (with timeout or partial load).
If i leave open the "overview" page on all devices, i see often "holes" in the status graph, and when it happens i get timeout warnings (the usual "check network environment or reboot).
Local network-wise, the configuration of the devices is stock, apart for the local IP that is fixed on both devices and fritz to avoid conficts.
The funny part is that sometimes everything works like a charm for days, and some days there is no damned way to have it working, even plugging all power supplies off and rebooting all together.
I have the feeling that for some reason some of the device go nuts and starts polluting the wireless environment to the point that nothng works anymore, but i cant' understand why the "full reboot" does not solve anything as well as why some days everything works.
I live in an apartment and the wireless is quite crowded, but i suppose this is quite a normal condition nowadays
So far I tried the most obvious things , such as checking lan cables and checking power supplies... but i have no clues on how to improve this situation.
It may be useful to note that until a few ways ago all the mango were on 3.x firmware, and i've updated to 4.3.18 . Beryl is updated to 4.7. Same behaviour with both firmwares.
anyone is experiencing disruption of this kind? Any ideas for a solution?
thak you .
