WAX214 stops accepting management connections
I have three WAX214s installed at my premises, and two of them manifest a symptom whereby after a relatively short period of time, maybe 15-20 mins, they stop accepting connections for management. ...

*bump*
I have the same problem as the OP, where I have a Netgear AX1800 WAX214 which stopped responding on the web UI.
The AP is powered through PoE (connected to a Netgear GS324TP), successfully obtains its IP via DHCP from my router, and allows clients to connect via WIFI and passes on traffic.
A ping of the IP is successful with ping times of 3-4ms.
There are no firewall rules preventing the access of the AP.
The issue is that I want to be able to access the web UI to configure the AP, but typing the IP into the browser results in a timeout error:
* Firefox: "The connection has timed out. The server at [192.168.5.123] is taking too long to respond."
* Chrome: "This site can’t be reached. [192.168.5.123] took too long to respond. ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT"
* Edge: "Hmmm… can't reach this page. [192.168.5.123] took too long to respond. ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT"
Is there a solution to this problem, or should I consider the AP faulty and request a replacement?
Thanks
Mike

Mike, If you reboot it can you get to the config-only ssid? If so, try disabling any WPA3 and set back to WPA2 only.

Same issue here. I have 3 WAX214s. POE, IPv4,WPA2. I've tried static addresses and DHCP. I can ping all 3 successfully. WebUI works for a while then doesn't. Occasionally, repeated refreshs on the browser will bring up the WebUI but usually quicker to just reboot the device.
nmap also shows the ports (80/443) as filtered.
