Need RT-AX86U Pro advice please
We have a standard home LAN - a few wired computers, a wired printer, and tons of wireless devices.
Love the RTax86 but we are struggling with the constant problem that wireless devices "lose" the connection to the wired printer. Release/renew on those devices doesn't seem to help, but actually rebooting the router works fine - they connect for "a bit" sometimes up to a day, but by the next morning they can't find the printer. The printer is set on a fixed IP xx.xx.xx.252. Works 100% with the wired systems fine.
At all times (that I can tell) the router 'sees' both the wired and wireless devices. They are all connected, they just can't see each other.
We've been limping along, just re-setting the router as needed (sometimes daily) but now I've installed some Arlo wireless doorbells and it just happened for one of them. Signal strong, router could see the device, but in this case the device couldn't see the router (it simply reports 'no connection' and doesn't report the wifi network as available) Needless to say, having a wireless laptop not finding the printer is an inconvenience; a security system not able to connect is a rather more serious thing.
If it's the router, fine, it's 2y old and out of warranty I expect. But I would like to solve the problem, if possible. It's still a pretty great router, everything else considered.
Thanks for ANY advice.
