IoT Devices go offline

Been experiencing my IoT devices (garage opener, weather station, cameras, etc.) go offline frequently.  I thought it was my second router's channel causing issues being too close, but that's not it....

Hardware Version RAX20
Firmware Version V1.0.11.112_2.0.77

Modem is from Spectrum

2nd AP is disconnected as of yesterday and overnight IoT devices went offline

I have 5 cameras, one doorbell cam, one video garage keypad, 1 garage door opener.

All devices go off at once.

All IoT are on 2.4Ghz

No IoT on 5Ghz

 

Thanks!

try switching the SSID's (names) so the IoT connect to the AP. see if they stay solid on the AP and not the router.

    I have removed the AP several days ago but it did have a different SSID than the netgear.
