You have to give more details:

  • what device is it? android, ios? seems like an ios
  • what’s your router/ap configuration? depending on device, go in Winbox to terminal and write:
    /interface/wireless export hide-sensitive
    or if you have of the new AX devices:
    /interface/wifiwave2 export hide-sensitive
    and paste whatever is printed there into a code area
 to be easily read.

Try with “Disable PMKID” on.
Forget network from both phones, register once again and see if the problem re-appears.

my pc working well on this 5g network, also i didnt notice any problem on my 2.4ghz network. Look at uptime.

Are iPhones disconnecting when they are awake or just on standby?
In my case this is only happening when they go to standby (cca 30s after lock), on next awake they reconnect, this is normal behavior to save battery.
I dismissed for info log wireless topic (!wireless) because it bloats log with these messages.

Also it could be that you are on edge of 5ghz signal (laptops usually have larger antennas so they can on same place receive signal better than mobile phones, see image below), 2.4ghz has better coverage because penetrates better through solid objects, but from your logs signal strength looks ok.

It looks like you made some changes just before it started re-authenticating. I’ve seen this too on my ax3. I see in 7.9rc there are quite a few improvements with WifiWave2 and this:

*) wifiwave2 - fixed 802.11r roaming for clients that performed initial authentication with an AP which has been restarted since

I suspect your issue is related because changes usually cause radio to restart. I would also try keep both radio’s on the same SSID and don’t disable PMKID which is used for roaming. After 7.9 stable release I’m hoping to see a bit more stability in wifi with hAP ax3 and WifiWave2 devices in general.
