Nope, no device via wifi to the RAX120v2 in bridge mode.
The apartment setup is approximately:
Wired devices connected to the RAX120v2 in bridge mode
* 1 Linux desktop
* 4 Windows mini-pcs (1 is the TV PC, the other 3 are a mini-lab project)
* 1 NAS (Linux)
Wifi devices connecting to the ISP router/modem combo
* the RAX120v2 in bridge mode
* 1 Chromebook
* 2 Macbooks
* 1 Windows Laptop
* 2 Android phones
We've got one Software Engineer and one Graphic Designer who work-from-home so its a bunch of stuff for personal and professional needs.
Whenever the issue happens, all the wired devices lose internet and none of the other wifi devices lose internet. Rebooting the bridge-router typically resolves it, but sometimes is takes a second reboot cycle for it to come back.
