WAC 510 Multiple SSID lost during scheduled reboots but OK on "Cold Starts"
WAC 510 with Multiple SSID works great, until a Scheduled Reboot occurs. -Only SSID's created prior to the last two Firmware Updates become Visible on Client Devices. A "Cold Start" (Remove and ...

1. Not all clients are dual band cable nor all clients 20/40/80 MHZ Capable.
2. Not all clients are N/AN/AC Capable.
I have seperate SSIDs to accomodate different parameters, i.e. Band Steering.
I have created a "2G" Only SSID for this purpose.
I learned that my SSID Monitor, iPhone S6, does not do well with Bandsteering 2G to 5G at 80 MHZ, now using 40 MHZ.
I am also in a "High Density" Urban Enviroment so as not to overlap there are only three non-overlapping 20 MHZ 2G Channels, 1, 3, and 6. -Interference Mitigation.
Set Parameters to 2G 20 MHZ, 5G 40 MHZ to accomodate older Clients.
SSID "2G Only" has Bandsteering Disabled, to accomodate older Clients.
Note: Even on another brand of AP 2G Only a HP 6700 Printer that is only 802.11 b/g capable did not re-aquire on loss of WiFi during re-boot. The Printer required rebooting.
So in some Client instances scheduling the Client Reboot after the AP Reboot maybe necessary, as well as Disabling Band Steering for older Client Devices.

Can you check if the same issue exists if booting from the previous v9.1.x firmware?
Will take significant time since this will disrupt Network Operations.
-Can you perform in the Lab?
Some of the SSID begin with a similiar naming: i.e. Netgear_2G_Only, Netgear_Guest, etc...
Trying unique names may provide another view at this situation but I will need to migrate many devices to the new SSIDs
Request an update on your Lab Testing Results.
Unable to bring my network down at this time.
-Ordered an additional unit so we can parrellel operations with minimal disruption.
I'm not Netgear, just yet another customer .... however, I'm just facing a location where I found that not all SSIDs returned to the active config after a cold reboot, the previously active config isn't used (instead the factory default seems to come up initially), and loading the config seems to take longer than expected.
