Hi Arodi,
WiFi standby already was disabled. I changed its range to long and will respond in a few days to let you know if it resolved the issue. Thank you.

Setting WiFi standby to disabled and its range to long did not resolve the problem. Two or three times a day during normal working hours, WiFi will dissappear for a few minutes, resulting in all connected devices being disconnected, then having to wait for WiFi to reappear to reconnect.

Whodo,
Can you provide input if you are running single band WiFi (Either 2.4 or 5 GHz) or are you running Dual band (both 2.4 and 5 GHz) radios enabled but just connecting the client to one of the radios.
There are a 3 options in the WiFi Profiles, and understanding your config is important
2.4 GHz only
5 GHz only
2.4 and 5 GHz
