So instead of throwing the router away, why not just turn OFF the wifi radios and then connect up a wired external wifi system to the R9000? I found a slightly used Nighthawk MK63 MESH system on Amazon for cheap. You could connect this system up in AP mode and still use the R9000's router portion.

Did That and nothing changed. This is how it looks related to the WI fi issue. I have stoped and restarterd AP access point still no solution. I give up after trying everything (factory reset, reinstall, firmware update , etc) .
