Asus RT-AX86s error that requires reboot everyday

[calvin tran]

Hello,
I bought it new in 2021 and it had been super reliable. I updated the firmware a couple months ago. Since then, the router lost the connections very often and many time I had to reboot to get it back.
Latest firmware: 3.0.0.4.388_23285-g5068da5

I was thinking of going back to the old firmware but I'd to hear from you first.
Thx

Here are some from the log

I'm not skilled at reading the log...

Do you know what connections you are referring to?

Given 2021 and trouble since last firmware update... have you tried recommissioning the router with same firmware, Reset that firmware, and configure it from scratch?

all the devices (wired or wireless) in my house lost connection when it happened. I haven't tried the factory reset and reconfigure so I will try that.

You should know this first:

FW Reset FAQ

Reset button/webUI Restore/node removal - clears settings in NVRAM; reboot restores fw defaults from CFE

Hard Reset via WPS button/webUI Restore+Initialize - also clears data logged in /jffs partition

From the top:
o upload the firmware
o Hard Reset that firmware to its defaults (I use webUI Restore+Initialize )
o configure the firmware from scratch (do not restore from .cfg file)

I did the reset and reconfigured my router from scratch. it's very simple: SSID for 2.4ghz and 5ghz, and transmit power level for each band.
So far so good.
