AX12 RAX120 Stability
I can only assume my hardware has gone bad. Because I used to have rock solid performance in the same place...everything in the same location and I am using the same devices, but now... I get disconnected, and then it won't work for a while. It has a hard time connecting back up, and sometimes it will connect back up, but not actually function. I am not having any trouble wired. The trouble is only with wireless. I do have a large backup running on the wired connection, but it seems unlikely related since the problem connections are primarily download, and the upload speed is slow comparatively anyway. Any thoughts? I really hate the idea of having to abandon my hardware and buy something else. But, I need to get something working fast. Thanks in advance.

Looking at the logs, I see a lot of entries like these. Not sure if these are blocked, or if it would even be related since wired seems fine, but just thought I would mention in case.

EDIT: After looking a bit more closely, I doubt the number I am seeing are enough to cause this sort of behavior. BUT, I went ahead and disabled logging of attacks just in case.
What firmware version are you on?
What modem/gateway is it connected to?
Have you tried a simple factory reset/reinstall?
If you stop the backup, does it function normally?
