It worked - kind of. 5G Network is no longer vanishing, only stops working. My laptop and all devices are connected to it but there is no networking, local and internet networks are inacessible. Everything works fine on 2.4. I'm thinking of downloading even older firmware and try as this router worked superb for past few years.
Thank You for suggestions

You can try older versions but that specific one was pretty stable. Did you do a factory reset and then clean install after the firmware change (by clean i mean not reinstalling from a backup configuration)?
It might be a hardware failure. How old is the device?
