TL;DR
What did gyuforge (@gyuforge) use ChatGPT for?
After firmware updates and channel changes failed to stop seven 2.4 GHz devices from dropping off Wi-Fi, a user worked through the router logs with ChatGPT and found an old wireless multi-bridge setting still switched on. After turning the setting off, disconnects among the 2.4 GHz appliances went from 26 to zero in matching two-minute checks. They said they would otherwise have written it off as a hardware failure and replaced the router.
What they did
Seven appliances on 2.4 GHz kept dropping off Wi-Fi every 30 seconds, and the 5 GHz connection sometimes cut out too. Firmware updates and channel changes had not helped. They went through more than 5,000 router log entries with ChatGPT, which pointed to wireless multi-bridge still being enabled from an old setup with an extra router they no longer used.
How it went
After turning the setting off, disconnects among the 2.4 GHz appliances went from 26 to zero in matching two-minute checks. They said they would otherwise have written it off as a hardware failure and replaced the router.
"ChatGPT just saved me from buying a new router lol."

My Wi-Fi keeps dropping on some devices. Here are my router's logs and model number. Look for repeated errors and any settings that could cause disconnects, such as old extender, bridge or mesh modes, and check them against the router's official documentation. Give me the most likely causes in order and how to switch each one off safely.
