I am having issues on both 2.5 and 5Ghz so any changes have been useless.

 

I disabled the MAC randomizer on both iPhone and iPad and it didn't work!

 

If it is an iOS 17 issue, that is good to know, unfortunately it doesn't explain why my switch will lose network connectivity.

Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, Traffic Meter.

 

Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

 

Try disabling AX mode on both 2.4 and 5Ghz radios. 

Try disabling Smart Connect and set separate SSID names. 

Try setting WPA2 and AES only.
