M6 no data and WiFi dropping out
Is it normal for the m6 to suddenly have no connection to certain devices or to cut out altogether? I’ve upgraded from an M1 to M1 and have noticed our devices losing connection regularly. This happens every day. Even in plugged in home mode. I’m using this as the main internet WiFi for a small office of 4 employees. We browse the web and log into remote desktops. 12 devices including SimpliSafe cameras. 1000sf rectangle office. We are nowhere near the max connected devices but it’s straining to keep all our devices connected.
Is this expected? The marketing and the retail price suggests it can be used as a primary business WiFi internet device and att sells it for business use but the connection is unreliable in my experience. Does anyone else have issues with the M6 for primary internet use or is there possibly something wrong with my device, or am I just using it for the wrong purpose?
Should I be using a dedicated WiFi or mesh system plugged into the M6 for my office WiFi?

got an old router sitting around you could test it out on?
The mobile routers are pretty solid but more designed for traveling and not just hosting a bunch of devices.
