Hello all! I am currently using OpenWRT 19.07.3 (r11063-85e04e9f46) on a Netgear EX6100v2 extender to convert a 5Ghz wireless signal into both an ethernet connection and 2.4Ghz wifi network. These both run on their own subnet, separate from the 5Ghz connection. The problem I am having is the 2.4Ghz connection keeps dropping out whenever I start a large download on my laptop. It goes like this:
- I zip a huge folder ~4GB on Google drive and begin the download.
- The download begins and gets usually 100-200MB in on one or both of the zip files.
- The laptop disconnects from the wifi saying it can't be found.
- Everything else connected to it also disconnects, and it no longer appears under any wifi scans.
- It stays like this until I decide to either reboot the entire device or go onto a device on the ethernet connection and reset the interface using LUCI.
This laptop is very new ~1 week old, so I'm gonna do the download on my phone and update the post with the results, because I've never had this issue before I got the laptop. Looking through the logs of the router, I see the following messages:

Could anyone tell me what this means? I have no idea why the wlan0 interface is getting disabled, is it a firmware issue or something?
