Hi,

I've had my AX6000 V1 with FW "1.2.5 Build 20211208 rel.49262(4555)" now for a couple of months, and I have noticed that the behavior of the WiFi is extremely unreliable.

I've had in the past a two WR1043, MR3020, C9 and a AC3200. All of those have been used with no issues. Always have they worked.

So I have recently start using the feature of daily reboots at 06:00 hours each morning, and been getting surprised that my IoT devices can not connect to 2.4Ghz.
Why? Because the AP isn't there!

What I have tried.
Smart connect : yes   (This worked with AC3200 without any issue)
Bandwidth 20 or 40 MHz, and Auto: yes, equally bad.
Channels 1-13: yes, no change at all.

Turn off 5Ghz and only run 2.4Ghz without guest: yes, with hard(cold) reboot, nothing changed.

Sometimes the 2.4Ghz just shows up then disappears right after. which makes me believe that the WiFi parts are somewhat flaky.

I have checked the system logs, but they are very slim and don't show any fundamental function of good/bad.

In the past I've also used DD-WRT or OpenWrt or whatever FW, they have never ever behaved the way stock FW has behaved.

Why don't you just enable the possibility for developers and users to use whatever FW is out there? Sorta like there is a possibility to unlock boot loaders on android phones?

At current state I would not recommend buying a AX6000, I really had my hopes high on this product. But today I would be very reluctant into buying any product that is TP-Link.
