EAP-650 1.0.13 firmware randomly dropping 2.4Ghz client after some time.
I have two EAP650s running the latest 1.0.13 firmware. I have been experiencing an issue with both units where after some random period of time, my 2.4Ghz clients (mostly IOT type stuff) stop working. They still show up in the list of clients, but the devices themselves don't work. If I restart the AP, the devices re-connect and work correctly. It's happening with both APs. I have a 2.4Ghz only SSID that is unique to each AP that these devices are connected to.
Here you can see it happen:

I've been on 1.0.14 for a few months, and I have not noticed anymore of those weird drops. I also got rid of one of the devices that was dropping so who knows if it's fixed...

@zinge Support gave me EAP650v1_1.0.91_[20240814-rel53153] which was ok. The issue occured after about 3 weeks again, but otherwise it was running stable. I recently tested 1.1.0 but that was the worst. Connection dropped every 6-16 hours.
Before moving to TP-Link, I had a Synology WRX560 for a week to test, which interestingly had exactly the same issues, but with all devices, not just 2.4GHz. It was even worse, connections were dropping at least once an hour. Many people had this issue on the Synology forums, but there has never been a solution to it, so I returned it. Maybe this whole issue is a buggy driver/chipset issue, the Synology device had some Realtek chipset for WiFi, but Idk what's inside the TP-Link EAPs. I also have a EAP115 which never had any issues. Maybe I'm adding a more recent BE9300 some time in the future.
