RS600 Internet dropping out consistently
So, I have just started using the RS600 and for the most part it has been good. About a day after use started I started experiencing internet cut outs on a pretty consistent basis. I have been thinking that the router is trying to connect to wifi 7 even though it is not supported by the devices that are having the issues hence, causing the issues. I can't see any other reason why it would be happening.
Is there a specific wifi 7 setting on the router than can be turned off in order to stop this from happening?
Quick note: I have also changed the speed setting for 5GHz band in hopes if its not trying to run at 5gbps it will stop the issue.
Has anyone experienced this or know how I could solve this? It's either that or use the old router which is kind of a waste of money...
Thanks!

some more details are needed.
1. what modem/gateway is connected?
2. what firmware are you on?
3. Is it all devices? just 2.4ghz device? just 5ghz devices?
4. are you using ipv6? Who's your isp?
5. is it specific devices with issues?
Any progress on this?
