Since the firmware update to 2.1.2.18 my dropouts have mostly disappeared, so I’m happy.

Have you disabled Beamforming, MIMO or Daisy Chain features and tested to see if disconnections still happen?
All wireless devices i have are working well with this configuration. Mac Book and iPhones, 3 cameras and 2 NEST controllers.
