8800AXL R2 5GHz channel stops working

Hi,
3 days ago I bought a 8800AXL R2 to replace a 5 year old 7800DXL that had failed.

I've set it up similarly to the 7800DXL, but I seem to be experiencing a bizarre issue with the 5GHz wireless channel. It works perfectly, but probably around once a day it seems to stop accepting connections on the 5GHz channel and drops all existing connections on that channel.

Ethernet and 2.4GHz wireless still work perfectly, and any attempts to connect over 5GHz produce 'authentication errors' from the clients. If I restart the router, then everything returns to normal and it works. I never had to restart my old 7800DXL even once during the 5 years that I used it.

I've only got around 6 or 7 clients connecting over 5Ghz, so well within the 16 device limit that's been set, and I'm at a loss to explain what's happening.

Restarting the router on a daily basis is not workable for me, and if I can't get to the bottom of this issue then I'll have to return the router and try something else. Does anyone have any ideas?

This has continued to happen. Sometimes it's manifested as authentication issues, and other times it's manifested as the signal strength 'disappearing' the moment I try to connect.

I've found someone on one of the Australian Billion forums who was having similar issues and was advised to switch away from 5GHz channel 38. I've changed the 5GHz spectrum to another channel. For some bizarre reason, this seems to have worked for the last 24 hours. I will see if it continues...

I thought that this change had resolved things, as it had been ticking along for 4 days without incident.

However, today I couldn't connect on either the 5GHz or the 2.4GHz interfaces, so I plugged a cable in and tried connecting over Ethernet. Still no joy - I couldn't connect at all.

However, devices that were already connected to the router were working OK - I managed to connect remotely to a web server and an FTP server that were both connected to the router via Ethernet. I rebooted the router via the hardware switch and everything was fine again.

I've got an external Syslog server connected, and that didn't appear to log anything untoward. It seems to have a few blocked packet notifications (due to firewall rules that I've put in place for my FTP server) and nothing else for today until I restarted it:

Can you try loading the latest firmware attached (with this firmware please upgrade your device and then reset back to factory default settings to ensure all changes within the firmware are implemented correctly)

Many thanks.

I've downloaded and installed the attached firmware, together with a factory reset. I've set it all up again now, so let's see how it goes. I will keep you posted...
