@ionizer5 I did a backup of my existing configuration file, and the beta firmware previously provided. Just in case. upgraded this morning, seems to be working fine.

The latest firmeware is working great for me too.  Because I was on the beta, I thought it would be best to do a factory restore and start clean.  It's been flawless.

Just an update to folks on the latest firmware update.  I had been using the beta with great results.  Completed the firmware update, without a factory reset. Over the cross of a few days my 5ghz devices stayed connected, but the Internet was unreliable.  I switched to "smart connect" last night and since then have no problems with any devices. I have approx 70 2.4 and 5ghz devices. Hopefully, it will continue to work well.  I tried to go back to the beta, but the update failed. I didn't try a 30-30-30 reset.

Why not try factory reset after updating to the latest and then re-entering all of the info?  This way you know nothing got corrupted...

@Mystiky Because I'm lazy.  I have a lot of custom settings, like port forwarding and assigned ip addresses.

@shaywood Save your settings to a file, and restore them after the reset.  I had heavily configured my AX11000  (including port forwarding, reserved LAN IP addresses and MAC address name mappings), and set up a replacement in less than 5 minutes by restoring the settings from a file.

@MartinKnutson great idea. I did the upgrade, but didn't think about reinstalling the configuration since it wasn't changing.

@shaywood ... I too have ~ 50+ 2.4Ghz smart home devices as well as a very large number og 5Ghtz devices using the router. I had the same problem up until the beta code came out. When running the Beta firmware I had 0 issues with 2.4 just stopping working. I recently upgraded the firmware to the latest ( 1.1.1 Build 20200716 rel.84595(5553) ), noticing one of the bug fixes was in regard to what looked like the issue with the 2.4Ghz band. While running on this latrest firmware, within a couple days the 2.4Ghz again dropped all my devices running on that band. I have not yet tried a backup of my current configuration then a factory reset as some are suggesting, but hope that will eliminate the issue. If not I am really hoping I can reinstall the BETA Code. I plan to do the factory reset later and then fingers crossed the issue is actually resolved in this new release of the firmware.

@HERE  .... Has anyone who actually factory reset and restored there settings had the issue return?

Sorry haven't looked at threat in a while. So glad the beta code is working for you. What you are describing is exactly what was happening to me. The beta code fixed the issue, but the new and latest code/firmware I again saw the issue. I am hopeful that backing up my current config, factory resetting it, then applying the config my resolve as some suggested. Worst case I will likely return to the beta code it I am able to should I again see the issue. As for the NAS component I actually run a separate NAS on my home network. I use a WD My Cloud Mirror drive and have for a long time. Has so much built in functionality. I love it and would recommend it.
