set your speeds at "up to 2400mbps".
When its set for "up to 4800mbps" it has to be 160hz wide and that uses the dfs channels.
If something is broadcasting on those channels, they have to switch off them and that can cause drops when it does so.
If you're in an area with DFS, I'd avoid those channels for stability.

What actual channel do you have selected for the 5ghz?
Make sure to avoid any dfs channels as you can get drops if there's radar in your area.
Its only the 5ghz? 2.4 and 6ghz are fine?

Its only 5GH and channel = 06 , mode up to 600Mps
2.5 + 6 appear to be fine- michaelkenwardApr 27, 2023Guru - Experienced User

5GHz runs from 36 upwards.
