I have a GT-AC2900 that is on latest stock firmware. I used to use it as my main router and had zero issues with it. Now I use it as a media bridge and it seems after a day or two I can no longer access it via SSH, the Web UI or the ASUS iOS app, but it is still providing internet to the plugged in devices, unplugging power to reset gets me another day or two of working then the same thing happens. Anything I can check to see why this is happening, or could it be a hardware issue?
 
Can it be that the Media Bridge changed IP address?
My advise is to give the Media Bridge fixed IP settings, like this:
1671602938442.png

Here 192.168.1.1 is the main router.
In the main router the IP Pool Starting Address is set to 192.168.1.3
 
Thanks I will try that, but wouldn’t the Asus discovery app be able to find it even if the IP address changed?
