New Around Here
I've been struggling with this problem for a while now, I have a 3 device AI mesh setup, AC68U as primary, AC88U and a Lyra Mini as secondaries. 88 is on wired backhaul.
I'm not sure if any of that is relevant, but I get occasional loss of connectivity on multiple devices, and on examining the log I see entries like this (which correspond exactly to the loss of connection)

Not always the same device, but some devices seem to do it more often than others, this particular one is a Dell laptop, two Samsung phones S9 and S10e also seem to be frequent causes of this auth/deAuth back and forth.

Running latest firmware (well, next to latest, there is an update I've just spotted, but I'm on 3.0.0.4.385_20490)

I've played about with a variety of settings including DTIM interval, beacon, WMM and WMM APSD, airtime fairness, beamforming, etc, none of it makes a measurable difference. Turning off wifi on the phones helps, but I can't tell my wife to turn off her laptop and it's pretty frustrating to have a work zoom call drop for 10 - 20 seconds, or get booted from a world of tanks game.
