Network toggles on and off, wifi connection is unstable (Archer AX55)
https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/611844
Found the above thread, I'm getting similar log messages minus any ack messages. My Android device and my laptop both have spotty connections over wifi. Hardwire connections I have not noticed an issue, though I cannot definitively say I haven't seen any issues.
I'm not a networking guy, just know the very basics as a software engineer, so I'm reasonably technical. I've attached the logs below, unsure why we'd have so many messages around Led controllers but not having any ACK messages around DHCPC sounds concerning?

That is all the logs have for today.
What information can I provide to help make this easier to diagnose?
The router is connected to a fiber modem via ethernet in the WAN port, and serves wifi for the home. There is a second router in AP mode, and supposedly DHCP is disabled on it when set to AP mode (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-with-WiFi-6-AX-and/two-routers-RAX35-amp-R7850/m-p/2213233/highlight/true#M25679).
