So this is odd(actually not odd at all). With the updated firmware I changed the default channels on the 5 and 2.4 wireless. I think I picked 44 and 11. My ip Cisco phone would not register at all. I put the channels back to default and everything is working so far. I guess I should have done what I said I would do and only change one thing at a time. I will monitor today working from home. Thanks again for your suggestions

What channels are you using now?
I recommend setting channel 40 on 5Ghz. 36 should not be used...

I am using the default of 48 on 5ghz. Auto on 2.4. I tried 44 and 11 which was bad.
