AX120 Dropping Connection

Ever since upgrading to Firmware Version V1.2.1.22, I get sporadic dropouts where I am asked to resubmit my password.

 

Thoughts?

 

SETUP

Fedora 34 w/ Gnome 40

Smart Connect enabled

Access Control Turned On

 

Thanks.

    Try without Smart Connect. On NG routers, SC isn't working as it should in a lot of cases and NG seems to break it every now and then.

      Roger that.  As a test, I turned off Access Control and rebooted.  And as the issue is sporadic, I need to let it sit for a while.

       

      I'll try your solution next, if need be, and report back.

       

      Thanks for the prompt reply!

        You were right. Diabling AC did not fix it.  Disabling Smart Connect seems to have done the trick.

         

        Thank you!
