What channels are you using?
Any wifi neighbors near by? if so, how many?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)?

We are experiencing network drops on all our devices - Windows laptops, iOs iphone and ipads, Smart TVs, etc. The network will work fine for 10 minutes or so and immediately drop ! This issue has persisted for the past 7 days. I have tried factory reset and the issue still lingers.
Both the router and the satellite are in the latest firmware.
Please provide a solution to my problem. I googled this issue and was appalled to see that so many people have the same issue as well. Hope Netgear is working with a permanent solution.
We do not have any devices connected via ethernet cable - all devices are connected using Wi fi only.
Please help!

I am using both channels - 2.4 and 5Ghz. There are some Wifi neighbours around - 3 to 4 on the road that I live in, but that shouldnt be a problem, as my previous setup worked smoothly. The distance between my router to my satellite is approximately 25 - 30 feet
