  @Spoonkb ,

Thanks for contacting our community.

 

Could you try a hard reset for a comparison?  Press and hold the reset button until the LED blinks to reset the router to its factory default settings.

For insurance, it's always recommended to save a copy of the router's Backup Config file before a hard reset.
