I have the Ax20 V1.20
1.3.2 Build 20210902 rel.16909(5553)
I installed this version because since a few days, it happens that I turn on a TV that is connected via Wi-Fi or via cable and the router automatically turns off the 5GHZ network. With this update the problem was not solved.
I restart the modem and it's back to normal.
Somebody could help me?
Thanks!

What is the brand and model of the TV? Do you mean no matter the TV connects to the wireless network or via LAN cable, the 5GHz signal will be shut off if you turn on the TV? Try modifying the 5GHz channel on the AX20 to a different one, such as channel 40/44/48, then monitor again.

@kande Do you mean the disconnect issue happens after you installed the beta firmware on the AX20? What are the devices that disconnect from the 2.4GHz network?
