Hello Everyone

Any one facing same issue ? Any help is much appreciated. !!

Thanks

Hello,

In the log I found that the AR300M is connected to the primary router (JioFiber-1504-4G) through repeater, and the Beacon loss has many reasons, and it may be interfered with by other 2.4G WiFi, the primary AP kicked out the AR300M since wireless resources is not enough, insufficient signal strength, etc.

You can manually downgrade to the previous version to see if this situation will reproduce again.

Hello Bruce,
Thanks for the response. Please share the steps to downgrade the version.
I am currently running Version - v4.3.25.

Thanks
