- How many wireless clients are trying to connect WAC720 AP? between 0 and 4 at this site
- Are you seeing issue on 2.4Ghz radio or 5 Ghz or both? the whole AP locks up..no throughput on anything
- Is it possible to share wireless client details? ( Is it mobile devices or laptops? share model details) 1-iphone / 1 - mac / 1 - windows 10 PC / 1 - android phone
- Share those logs before you do AP reboot? i don't have a remote syslog server setup yet / so all longs are kinda lost after reboot
- I guess you are using latest firmware 3.6.12.0 / yes
- WAC720 AP configuration file / will post later tonight

Hi redtech116
Thanks for the info, It would be nice if you mention the model of those wireless clients ( Windows, iphones, andriod and macs) ? Are you connecting these clients to 2.4 G radio or 5 Gh?
Please attach the AP confg as well. Logs would help more if you can attach if you have taken during issue.
Thanks again

I would like to get in on this, I am having the exact same issue. All the lights stay on but it kicks everything off. We have 1 garage door opener, 3 asus laptops, 2 android phones, a ring door bell, and ring door bell speaker and that is it.
I also thought it was a hardware issue so Netgear replaced mine, got the new one programmed and same issue started again.
