Keep Losing Connection to 192.168.50.2 router.

[LexLuthor]

I'm stumped here. Both routers running Merlin. I have an AX86U Pro as my main router on 192.168.50.1. I have an AX86U as a media bridge on 192.168.50.2. On my laptop, which is 192.168.50.125, I keep losing the connection to the to .2 router. If I reboot my laptop, I get the connection back, but after a few minutes I lose it again (like it just stops working in the middle of navigating through the GUI). I can't get to the web interface at all and pings to 192.168.50.2 fail. On my phone that's connected to the same wifi network, I can still get to 192.168.50.2 while the laptop can't. I don't seem to ever lose the connection on the phone. If I just reboot the router and not my latop, I still can't get in.
Any ideas what's wrong?

The .2 router gives you some log or error, if the phone does not lose connectivity I am inclined to some route error in your notebook it could be that it is not well defined but it is just an assumption. You could also do some factory reset to the router and see what happens. m2c

Laptop running what OS? Suspect driver issue on the laptop...

Figured this might not be easy as it's a quite strange situation.

Laptop running Windows 11. I'll test from a 2nd Windows laptop soon.

Nothing related in the system log on .2

.2 was my main router and I just changed the type from router to media bridge and then turned off all of the servers. Probably not ideal doing it that way. I guess I could factory reset .2 and see if it makes a differnce.

I was thinking it really doesn't matter as I only need access to .2 to update firmware, but I guess getting locked out during a firmware upgrade might not be ideal.

I guess both factory reset .2 and test with another laptop and report back.

Other laptop worked fine. Factory reset on the .2 router seems to have fixed things on the first laptop.
