AX12 RAX120 Stability

I can only assume my hardware has gone bad.  Because I used to have rock solid performance in the same place...everything in the same location and I am using the same devices, but now...  I get disconnected, and then it won't work for a while.  It has a hard time connecting back up, and sometimes it will connect back up, but not actually function. I am not having any trouble wired.  The trouble is only with wireless.  I do have a large backup running on the wired connection, but it seems unlikely related since the problem connections are primarily download, and the upload speed is slow comparatively anyway.  Any thoughts?  I really hate the idea of having to abandon my hardware and buy something else.  But, I need to get something working fast.  Thanks in advance.

Looking at the logs, I see a lot of entries like these.  Not sure if these are blocked, or if it would even be related since wired seems fine, but just thought I would mention in case.

The option to disable the protection in WAN setup is NOT checked.

 

EDIT:  After looking a bit more closely, I doubt the number I am seeing are enough to cause this sort of behavior.  BUT, I went ahead and disabled logging of attacks just in case.

Re: AX12 RAX120 Stability

What firmware version are you on? 

What modem/gateway is it connected to? 

Have you tried a simple factory reset/reinstall? 

If you stop the backup, does it function normally?
