I have a completely new Chateau Pro ax router and now have issues with Wi-Fi radio that stops working randomly.
My main issue began just some time after connecting a USB external drive to it in order to run a few Docker containers on it (Adguard, Cloudflared,...) and to have it as a backup Samba share for my Proxmox server.
Then weird things started.... the Wi-Fi randomly started to just turn off (Wi-Fi LED on the router was also off).
When I connect with Winbox over Ethernet, the Wi-Fi radios seem like they are still enabled even though "/interface wifi radio print details" output is different before and after the Wi-Fi crash.
If I try and disable and then reenable the Wi-Fi interfaces (wifi1, wifi2), I get the error "failed to set country" and nothing works to fix this.
It's impossible to reenable the Wi-Fi radios and the only working option is to REBOOT the whole router and then it's working for some time before it turns off again...
I was troubleshooting this issue for the last week and have attached screenshots and exported info of the Wi-Fi radios before and after the issue below.
The reported info (/interface wifi radio print details) is different before the wifi crash as it is after the crash.
