Several of my wireless clients were annoyingly dropping connections (Lenovo Android Yoga Book, Galaxy s7, Dell laptop E6230) and unticking the 20/40Mhz coexistence box appears to have sorted it out - 12 hours and no disconnects so far.

Thanks for the info which I would like to try. Can you help wirth how to reach where said box is to untik is located?
At the top of the web (browser) GUI, click the Advanced tab, then click Advanced Setup and then Wireless Settings.
Got it, many thanks!
Hi Mrtelarc,
Also unticked on that page are all of
Enablen daisy chain
enable implicit beam forming
enable mumimo
enable fast roaming
And also, on one of my devices, a voyo brand (cheap chinese one) mini pc windows tv box i had to go into the wireless adapter settings on that pc and make sure it was set to 20mhz only. (properties-configure-advanced-bandwidth-20mhzonly). I didn't need need to do anything on the dell laptop (whose speed doubled).
things still seem to be working with no dropouts, but now i'm fixated on the wireless indicator on my devices haha.
Please add me to the list.
1 Router, 2 Satellites. The satellites keep losing connection on a daily basis. Can be fixed by retsarting the satellites but far from ideal :(
Running the latest firmware 2.0.0.74
Please help.
