Well, I’m seeing the exact same errors in the above log on the main AX1800 router as well, which is not having any connectivity issues. So, I suppose those errors aren’t related to this specific wireless problem in the AP. Are those normal errors? Same as on the AP, there are several other kern.warn and kern.err messages as well, but the main router has been functioning fine and I’ve never bothered to review the boot log before now.
If firmware rollback, factory reset and upgrading again have all had no effect on restoring 2.4 GHz, would this just be a hardware issue?
I rolled the AP back to v2.8.1 and still had the same issue. Factory reset again and still the same.
Then I found these messages in the system log, so it appears there is a driver issue?

Not sure if my first reply here saved since I don’t see it…
I have the same issue regarding AP mode on the PW-AX1800 on firmware v2.8.1 as OP reported: “no settings can be changed on the Network settings page, it just says Internal Server Error”
Is this still being investigated for a bug fix?
