WAX610
I've got a WAX610 with firmware version 9.6.2.6. I have multiple SSID's configured and with one of these SSID's I have enabled a WiFi activity schedule. When the WiFi activity schedule triggers on or...
I am adding this information in case anyone else experiences this issue and wants a possible solution.
The root cause of my issue was that the beacon frequency changes when transitioning to more than 4 active SSIDs or transitioning to less than 5 active SSIDs as this causes all SSIDs to restart, hence the disconnection I was experiencing. As I had one of 5 SSIDs on a schedule, I was getting a disconnection whenever the scheduled time to activate the 5th SSID was enabled or disabled for this reason.
My solution was to add a 6th SSID (have left it hidden at the moment) so that when my SSID on a schedule is enabled or disabled, the total number of active SSIDs never goes below 4, which seems to have resolved my issue.
Thank you DaneA for following up on this issue with Netgear support.
I apologize for the late response. 😞
Can you send the detailed logs from your WAX610 via private message. You may upload it to Google Drive then indicate the download link when you send me a private message.
