R7000 5ghz Disappearing
Seems to be a lot of independent questions/discussions on or this topic or similar topics... Looking for someone to give me a definitive answer, so here's the question: - My R7000 periodically and ...
I've been running Firmware Version V1.0.6.28_1.1.83 for a few months now without any 5GHz dropping. The big tip that helped me, was after doing the firmware update, I did a factory reset to reset all of the settings to default, and it also forces the router to get new internal drivers for itself. Before I did this, I was always losing my 5GHz.

I am having a similar issue. I lose both 2.5 and 5Ghz, all connected devices disconnect. They come back after about 30 seconds. I see nothing in the router logs. I don't think it is a full reboot of the router since it is only 30 seconds or so. This happens several times a day at random intervals.
I have not been able to get to the router quick enough to see what the LED's on the router are showing.
I am using 1.0.4.18 FW.
Once I tried a reset to defaults, than restored settings from backup, as was suggested in another thread and it seemed to have helped for a while, but it is now back.
I will upgrade to the latest 1.0.4.68 FW using the full factory reset procedure and see if that helps.
