My internet modem is Cisco EPC3928, I am using it for last 8 years with another asus router without problems. Cable is was CAT5 but from what I tested these days only wifi is problematic. I switched now to CAT6
Channel on 5 GHz is 44,
I did try factory reset just now and set the range of ip address from .100 - .200 but same behavior - basically communication drops each minute or two for couple of seconds and then it gets running good again.

What happens if you disable AX mode on the router and also disable Smart Connect?
What are the current settings for Wireless settings under advanced tab/advanced settings?
Whats the first 3 characters of the routers series number in back?

First 3 chars are 6K0, I did disable AX mode now and Smart connect was already disabled. Checking later advanced settings too

AT some point, please try with Smart Connect enabled as well.

Unfortunately tried the smart connect but same behavior. Also noticed that after some idle time, me away from pc for half hour or something like that, the communication over 5ghz is completely blocked. Then I just reconnect and it works again. Not sure if there is anything more to try before I get a new router.
