RAX70 and IP cameras

Hey all,,, I just got a Nighthawk AX8 AX6600, (RAX70) and I'm having an issue with my IP cameras disconnecting. They usually connect again after a few minutes but then will disconnect again.  These are both wifi cameras and ethernet cameras.  Are there any settings that make IP cameras work better on the Nighthawk?  Or any suggestions?  I really would rather not have to go back to my old router.  Thank you!

    Are they 2.4ghz camera's?

    Have you tried changing which channel the router is on?

      I actually have changed channels for other reasons but issue is on cams that are both wifi and ethernet so it won't be an RF interference issue

        Try setting the band used for long distance Preamble-modus from Auto to Long preamble.

        It made mine stable
