I seem to be having frequent disconnects on iOS as well as Android devices. It seems to revert to using cellular which isn't right. I haven't noticed issues on other devices on my network, but since I upgraded to v2.3.5.30 on both the router and satellite I've been having these types of issues. I am debating to do a factory reset and restart with the v2.3.1.60 firmware instead and leave this one till it's been proven to be more stable.

    Please make a new post and we'll help you out. 

    Try a factory reset with v30 loaded and setup form scratch. IF this still fails, post a new post and we'll make some suggestions. Or post here about your experiences with v30:

    V30 is working here for me with my iPhones and Android devices using v30.
