Wireless clients every now and then lose connection, then restore it in couple of seconds. I don't have hard data, but it seems like it started happening in the recent 2-3 weeks. Here are two dropped connections of the same client within 20 minutes. When it's connected, everything works perfectly, strong signal, no dropped packets, but then it again drops and reconnects. It's AC-68R, firmware 386.2.2.

I have been following complaints recently of (esp.) 2.4Ghz wifi dropping connections and having to restart either the 2.4 Ghz guest wifi or the 2.4Ghz wifi in general.

Some believe that there is an issue with the 2.4Ghz wifi on both Stock and Merlin firmware. Just as to why this is happening just recently is a mystery.

You are the first to offer up logs of your events dropping the wifi.

AC3100 Wifi disconnects randomly

No, because it's not a specific problem that can be fixed (which is probably why nobody has replied to this thread in five months). It's just a nebulous statement about WiFi client behaviour. Post #2 is completely unrelated and just shows YazFi deliberately forcing clients to reauthenticate.
