BE 96U loses IoT SSIDs

I’ve had a BE96U installed for 6 months with primary, guest and IoT networks defined. The first 4 months it worked flawlessly but the last few weeks, the guest and IoT 2.4 gHz networks will periodically lose their SSIDs and all the IoT devices become disconnected. Once this occurs, the SSIDs disappear and reappear every 5 minutes or so meaning the IoT devices are largely inoperable. A WiFi scan will show the ‘missing’ 2.4 networks’ MAC address but the SSIDs are blank. A continuous scan will show these SSIDs repeatedly disappear, reappear and disappear.

A router reboot restores the SSIDs - for a while - I’ve always had my router do a scheduled reboot weekly. I changed to twice a week but the problem seems to be occurring more frequently.

This is only happening on the 2.4 guest and IoT networks. The primary 2.4 and all of the 5 gHz and 6 gHz networks are fine.

I have automatic firmware updates disabled so that hasn’t changed.

Has anyone else seen something like this?? After months of reliable operation, this is very frustrating…
 
What has changed in the environment from before this started happening ?

Is the router getting overheated ?

Factory reset and manually configure. Don't restore from a backup config. At least, you will start from a known condition.

That’s the thing….i got it configured just how I wanted it and haven’t changed it for months…

No overheating - it’s in a cool basement utility room.
