Did you do a factory reset after updating to v2.1.3.4. If not, please try this.
Also is Fast Roaming feature seen on your model router? Some models don't have this feature...
If you don't have any MIMO devices, you can disable MIMO.

When I test the connection using a normal Windows laptop however, i do not experience this dropped connection when switching.
I have upgraded my firmware to V2.1.3.4 but this issue still persists.
To add more context, my router is in AP mode, disabled Daisy-chain, enabled implicit beamforming and MU-MIMO.
Would appreciate if anyone can help shed some light on why i suddenly experience this issue after more than 3 months of stable wifi.
Thanks.
