Netwrks I think you were correct. It's been almost 2 weeks since I did the factory reset and I haven't had any issues since. Even 5ghz which was acting weird not connecting at all sometimes casuing me to only use 2.4ghz is working OK now. I probably had 2 or 3 firmware updates without a factory reset. It's not something I'ts not something that I wasn't aware of, I guess I just forgot about it. Thank you very much.
