My devices are visible in AC2 one second and the next they are gone. They are plugged into a USB hub that is connected to a Mac Mini that has Monterrey on it. The devices are still plugged up. When I remove the cable from the hub to the Mac and plug it back in, the devices show up again in AC2. This started a month ago. It is like the Twilight Zone here.
Thank you,

Assuming it's not all USB-C, make sure it's a powered USB hub. USB hubs get wonky with more complex USB configurations, with wonky USB devices, and passive hubs tend to get wonky first.
Reduce the external wired configuration to just the connected devices and the hub for testing.
Funky APs are always entertaining, but I'm not sure they can (also) get tangled here.
USB wiring can interfere with Wi-Fi signaling, particularly at close range.

I'd expect some issue with the hub, or the cabling.
If this is an unpowered hub, acquire a powered hub.
If this is a powered hub, start by replacing cables (cheaper) and then the hub (more costly).
We are on the same brain wave. I replaced the cables with new ones. Then I replaced the entire hub. Afterwards it happened again. I then pulled the power from the hub and they came up again. The cable that connects the hub to the Mac is a USB 3.1 Type A to Micro USB Type B Cable - Micro USB 3.1. A going into the Mac.
One more thing, I turned the wifi off and connected it the ethernet and also turned off bluetooth. I was thinking it could have been a funky AP.
