I have a problem that is EITHER with my non-Draytek router or with my Draytex AP800 access point

This setup has been working fine for 12 months, but recently I have started adding smart devices to my network, so the number of attached wireless devices now exceeds a dozen

Periodically (like every day) EVERYTHING wireless loses internet connectivity for an hour or more, before gradually recovering

At thus time, I see, to be able to connect to the AP800 but NOT to the internet. My router is also my DHCP server, so it may be that devices are not getting IP addresses assigned!

I'm complaining to the router people, but I also wanted to remove the AP800 from the equation

I have disconnected a few devices, and the problem seems to have gone away.....

Anyone else experienced problems with the AP800 and the number if devices connected!?

Thanks

The AP-800 should cope with a dozen devices, but if one is misbehaving that might cause problems so perhaps try removing only one at a time to perhaps narrow it down.
