Wi-Fi reconnects randomly

A RAX120 router worked flawlessly for a month. A week ago wi-fi started to disconnect and reconnect each 5 or 15 or 30 minutes. I downgraded from 1.0.1.100 to 1.0.0.84. The router worked a week after that and again started to disconnect wi-fi and reconnect it each 15-30 minutes. 

The wired connection works ok. 

Anyone knows what to do?

Yes, I did. They told me to set channel to 161, but MacBook Pro doesn’t support this channel (max 144).

So, what they told me didn’t help at all. It just reconnects.
Any suggestions?

Check out the other community threads for the RAX120 or RAX80.

There are many users reporting the same issues.

 

You can disable SmartConnect, disable AX, BeamForming, QoS & the reboot might correct the problem for a short time but the same issue will come back.

I see. So the issue is in firmware I think.
They told me to set CTS/Rts to 2303. Did so and waiting for the next reboot.

I'm 100% sure these issues are firmware related but I current have 0% confidence they are being resolved.

Will be interesting to hear back on how the CTS setting affects your issues.
