RX-86U Asus Router's Wi-Fi connection stops working when one of the computers on the network is shutdown for the evening.
Let me be specific...
Girlfriend's company issued laptop is connected to the router via Cat6 cable. She powers it up in the morning then at the end of the day she does a shutdown. When she does it causes the Wi-Fi of this router to stop working. But, it only does it SOMETIMES. Maybe once every 3 to five days...not every time.
When I say the Wi-Fi stops working l'm referring to my Wi-Fi connected laptop and phone (and other Wi-Fi devices) cannot get internet access to the WWW. The radio connection is working as I see the devices are still connected via Wi-Fi but I can't surf the internet. Both 2.5Ghz and 5Ghz don't work. I have to reboot the Asus router before they work again.
The Asus router has the latest Merlin firmware installed.
Seems odd that shutting down a Cat6 connected computer affects Wi-Fi. She has her personal desktop computer connected via Cat6 too but shutting it down does not mess up the Wi-Fi.
Additional details: her work laptop uses Win11 and uses work VPN to access work servers, all the other computers are Win10.
Any ideas on what might be going on?
