RAX120 Wi-Fi speed vs hardwired

Randomly, now a few times a week, all the wifi connected devices will come to a halt while hardwired see no disruption in service at all.  My only option is to reboot the router and after about 4 minutes everything comes back up full speed.

A few weeks ago this happen and I lost all my router config and had to start from scratch, as if the router did it's own factory reboot.

 

What's causing this? is this a shared experience?

 

Router Firmware Version V1.0.1.118

Your subject says "Wi-Fi speed vs hardwired". I assume that thi is not really the issue, but "dead wifi".

The only trick you have found, but what about checking to see what is really happening?

 

What do the LEDs on the thing show when this happens? WiFi ones still look OK?

 

Any prompts when you try to connect to the WiFi?

 

Any messages in the router's logs?

If so, it should show up in a search of this bit of the community.
