Firmware 2.3.5.30 (from last summer) is stable. There is newer firmware on the Netgear support site:

It certainly cannot hurt to perform a manual firmware update to 2.5.1.8 on both satellite and router, then "Factory Reset" both of them, and start over.

After completing the MANUAL update to the newest firmware, the devices seemed to be having even more difficulties staying connected.
It wasn't until I did a factory reset on both devices that things were staying connected properly, now running on 2.5.1.8. I've been using it for over 5 hours no with no drops in signal. Testing at 320mbps wirelessly on our 300mbps plan! Amazing speed.
