Thanks for getting back to me. It’s dropping off on both units and can be for just a short period (minutes) and as was the case last night for hours!
Yesterday I updated the firmware again and I am now on 2.1.1.16 for both the router and the satellite.
Hope you can help!

Do you have any google homes or chromecasts on the network? There is a know issue with google devices crashing routers and causing other issues.
