Hi everyone, Attached here is my network diagram.
I'm hoping I can get some advice on why my network drops every couple of days. Literally everything disconnects. Can't ping the gateway from anything.
I've checked the syslogs on both routers when this occurs and I don't see anything out of the ordinary.
I'm pretty sure it's the bottom left Netgear AP causing this. If I unplug it while the network flips out, everything comes back online.
Am I correct with the settings, 2 wired AP's and a wireless repeater bridge for this setup? Are there any other settings I should try?

Honestly I'm not 100% sure but I don't think so
I do see a bunch of DHCPDISCOVER, DHCPOFFER, DHCPREQUEST and DHCPACK regularly that do not cause the outage.
I have read on this forum that it can cause issues, so I have been watching the logs to see if it happens at the exact time of the drop and I haven't seen any DHCPREQUEST at the exact time
