I was having a Google Duo chat with my daughter from my Google Pixel 5 connected to my 5GHz WiFi network. It was choppy as hell and we ended up dropping and reverting to a traditional cell call.

Checking the logs for that timeframe, I see this:

Aug 23 15:47:08 wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(494): eth7: Deauth_ind F6:12:46:xx:xx:xx, status: 0, reason: Deauthenticated because sending station is leaving (or has left) IBSS or ESS (3), rssi:0
Aug 23 15:47:21 wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(530): eth7: Auth F6:12:46:xx:xx:xx, status: Successful (0), rssi:0
Aug 23 15:47:21 wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(559): eth7: Assoc F6:12:46:xx:xx:xx, status: Successful (0), rssi:-87

Anyone know what the issue may be?
 
Strange that I've never had an issue in this location with my previous router (Netgear R7800). I did have an Android tablet nearby casting device audio to a Chromecast speaker in the same room, all on the 5GHz channel so there was a lot of network activity in that room at the time.
 
I've been struggling with similar Deauths on the 2.4 band by some of my IoT devices. I believe it to be a firmware issue; the "worst offender" device has been in service stably for years and I'm only now seeing the symptoms, not long after taking a firmware update (to my AX92U).
 
After I updated to the current version of Merlin, I had issues with the 5Ghz with my iPad dropping. I would select the 5Ghz network in settings, it would appear to connect and then drop. After trying several things both on the iPad and router, I reverted back to a previous version and have not had the issue since which was several weeks ago. As I understand the WIFI module is the same for Asus and Merlin.

I am having similar issues intermittently. I will be connected with full wifi bars on my iPhone but I cannot load any webpages or anything and sometimes it will will say "No internet connection" with an ! through the wifi bars in the settings. I am on the latest Merlin FW.
 
I've been seeing similar issues, never had this with my Alien Router.
 
This thread's subject model and firmware, RT-AX86U and latest stock firmware, currently ASUSWRT 388.20566, has been running just fine on my network... very steady and reliable.
