Fix: 2.4Ghz, "not mesh client", "can't update it's ip" and "already exist in UDB"

[david.mckee1]

Hopefully, this helps everyone having the same frustrating experience as me. I've had endless issues with my Asus setup for years but as of today, I'm 100% happy!!!


I've fully eliminated the following issues:

1. 2.4Ghz issues. Limited connectivity, no connections, unable to connect and extremely low bandwidth.
2. Log errors: "not mesh client, can't update it's ip"
3. Log errors: already exist in UDB, can't add it

To fix all three issues, here's what I did. I don't know exactly which change fixed each specific issue but as I said above, I'm 100% happy now with no connection errors or random freezes.

1. Disable all guest networks.
2. Toggle off the "Traffic Analyzer - Statistic" option on the Traffic Analyzer page.

I'll delete my other two posts looking for help and find fining the solution. I help this helps others. I also did send a note to the Asus team.
