Please describe this in more detail. i.e. "what happens?"
- The WiFi device displays an error message?
- Applications on the WiFi device fail to work correctly?
- It happens to every device connected to the system with WiFi?

basically all devices connected to the main ssid, lost it’s connection. It dropped. When I tried to reconnect, it will show the wifi signal for a few seconds and then disconnects. This happens to all devices that were connected to the main network. Somehow the guest network is not affected.
the only way that I resolve the issue is by doing a factory reset. Unplugging both the router and satellite for 15 min doesnt work
