I have 2 identical TPLink-AX23 configured as Access Points. 1 keeps dropping the wifi. A reboot fixes it for 1-2 hours, then the wifi drops the connection and is not visible anymore on wifi-scanner.
Same thing when I change the SSID to verify it's not a roaming thing.
This is the log:
first a lot of these:

Nothing unusual here.
What are the devices that are apparently dropping off WiFi?
Every device: phones, google speaker, printer
Those devices could be dropping off as a result of energy savings. Do any of them indicate a loss of connectivity, or do they re-establish the connection when they need to?
I replaced the access point with a newer model on the same location. The previous one was trouble free for years with the same devices.
That doesn’t answer the question, though. Do the devices experience a lack of connectivity?
I guess not, the previous devices worked flawelessly. The speaker is 5 meter from the access point
The messages you are seeing may look unusual, but they don’t necessarily mean anything is wrong. As long as the devices have the expected connectivity and functionality and are not reporting that the are unable to reach the network / internet, you don’t need to worry about those log entries.
the SSID is not broadcasting anymore, even if i'm next to the access point
Set your county code on both radios.
I recommend using the same ssid for both bands so the clients can choose based on the signal quality.
Also, it is common to use 40MHz channel width on 5g.
I will try these things, thanks
Same thing. Works after reboot for a couple of hours. No SSID broadcasted anymore now
I have 2 identical TP-link AX23 as access points, both with the same settings (except different IP and WIFI channel). 1 works like expected, the other 1 drops the wifi broadcasting after some time (minutes-hour). These messages flood the log-file every second in the problematic access points.
What does this mean?

Try swapping the channels used on each AP. Since they are identical (and identically configured), we'll see if the problem follows the channel or the device.

Changing channels didn't do anything different.

Seems like the same issue this person had:
https://www.reddit.com/r/openwrt/comments/1dl15wc/asus_ax4200_wifi_disconnections_are_ieee80211/
So to clarify, the problem persisted on the same device, despite the fact that you changed the channels (swapping them between the two devices), right?
What channels are being used on each of the devices (both 2G and 5G) and what are the channel widths?
Are both APs using the same SSID, encryption type, and passphrase? Are both bands (on both devices) also using the same SSID?
Do your client devices report a lack of connectivity or exhibit any other issues?
