It's the latest version. I also have factory reset it. In my network, there is another old model router configured as a wifi repeater. It is using realtek rtl8812ar as the chipset.

Besides, I also discover that when some old devices are trying to connect, it may also make the SSID disappear. Just like what I am saying. It seems that some old model wireless network cards would make the router unstable.

- There are still some annoying issues. Some of my devices are connected to the WiFi but it cannot access to the internet. In window 10 device, it just showed no internet , secured. In iPhone, it just cannot access to the internet. I have tried to ping gateway. However, no response from it. The problem solved until I reconnect the WiFi. It’s annoying especially recent time as I need to work from home. It usually sudden drop when I am having a conference.
