RAX75 Wireless Drops every hour exactly
I have been having problems with my router dropping my wireless signals hourly on the hour exactly. My wired computers are fine, no issues, only on my wireless. I am running Google Chrome Internet Connection log, which shows me the disconnects.
My router is only a few months old, and along with giving really bad wireless stability, it totally locked up the Web interface in the past few days. It was still functioning though, but barely. I did a factory reset, updated to the latest firmware, and the problem persists.
Also interestingly the 5ghz isn't showing up consistently on my Wifi analyzer tool on my Samsung. I have been sticking to 2G on most of my devices due to the unreliability of the 5ghz signal.
I am running a RAX75 router with a R7000 router elsewhere in my home running in wired AP mode. My AP and Main router are fixed on different channels to prevent interference. I have 46 devices in my home, probably 20 of which are wired.
Any thoughts?

Hi uofmjoker,
Did you purchase the router recently? What firmware version is your router currently on?

I have the same issue and it's actually sometimes multiple times in a hour. I'm on the latest version 1.0.3.102

I have the same router with the exact same issue but multiple times a day all day.
