turning off wifi doesn't disable a gateways router function.
It still leaves you in a double nat.
Is the R7000 in AP mode?
Yes
Have you tried changing the wifi channel for the 2.4ghz?
No, i will try
2.4ghz is much more sensitive to interference than 5ghz
But you think i should upgrade to the latest version without problems ?
Thanks again

The latest version has been pretty solid.
If both .42 and the .136 version have had the same issue, I wouldn't suspect the firmware.
I'd be more thinking interference or hardware failure if its specific to one band.
