I am having issues connecting to the 2.4 WiFi network on my RT-ACRH13. I am not sure if it started before or after I updated to the latest firmware though.
Most of my devices requiring 2.4 network either cannot connect at all or connect and disconnect continuously.
Looking at the logs, I see the following for these devices:

Couldn't find much on the net on this, so any ideas are welcome.
Thank you.
 
Welcome to the forums @mrmmm.

Can you download the version you had installed previously and see if things are stable then?
 
I am not 100% sure which one I had before, but I tried 3 or 4 previous ones, and it did not help.
 
did you factory reset between versions and hand configure or just load a backup configuration each time ?
 
I did not factory reset. Settings do not get reset on the upgrade, so didn't have to change anything. I am keeping factory reset as the last option, and wanted to see if there are some settings that I could try changing to get the 2.4 to behave.

thank you.
