Thanks for any help, I'm new around here and confused by a very specific issue.
I have the RT-AX86U running 386.7_2 Merlin FW, the issue is, some devices drop the wifi connection sometimes and all at the same time, whilst some others devices don't.
The details, so I have about 8 wifi connected devices and some even though they are in range - just disconnect and then all the ones that do disconnect (all at once), can no longer see the network, even though the other wireless devices can. All the hardwired LAN connected devices always work just fine all the time.
There seems to be some issue with the 2.4ghz WIFI, as 5ghz stuff seems to be fine. I know enough to have done some testing, all firewalls off etc, the weird thing is, sometimes after a few wall socket on and off's the box will all of a sudden, with no settings changed, just come back as if nothing happened. All the devices go, oh look that wifi connection appears back on the list and connect back to the box, like nothing happened.
So I set up a 2.4 ghz guest account - no protection, no fancy stuff etc, but none of my devices see it, when it's acting in this strange mode, but then sometimes it all just comes back to life, like nothing's happened, without touching anything.
Thanks for any Ideas.
If this kind of thing has already been seen and solved, please send link, if this needs to be moved to another place on this forum, then sorry for not behaving correctly.
