Archer AX73 / Google Chromecast with TV (Gen 4) connectivity issues and disconnects
Purchased and sucessfully ran a Google Chromecast with TV (Generation 4) for a few months - unit was assigned a permanent DHCP lease and worked great...for a while.
Then I started to have issues with connectivity where the Google TV lost WiFi connection and struggled to regain it. Issue was intermitent and appeared random but then increased to a point where it simply would no longer hold, or even connect, to router. Could not find anything on internet even remotly similar to my issue so I ruled it as a faulty unit.
Returned the unit and received a replacement.
New Google TV unit connected fine but immidiatly exhibits the same issues as before pointing towards a router issue rather than something else.
I have 2 other Chromecasts (Gen3) connected to router - works perfect - no other unit exhibits issues similar to the Google TV one.
Any ideas?
I live in Sweden and appear to have a Firmware 1.2.2 Build 20220317 rel.50456(4555) installed on Router while it is suggested that I should perhaps use the EU Firmware

On the subject of Firmware - I do not know if there was a Firmware update made at the time of going from *working* condition to not working.
