Well that's interesting. I had disconnects, etc. using 2.0.1.4. When I upgraded my FW to 2.2.18 everything settled down. I am hardwired to a Satalite Orbi which I don't think was supported in 2.0.14 and I think the FW update solved that issue. I've been running fine for a week now with 2.2.18. Just my experience.
