Update V1.9.1.12 Netgear officially announcing 'Improvement in wireless connection Stability'
Just downloaded the latest release V1.9.1.12 and noticed in the official release notes from Netgear it states as fix 'Continious Improvement in wireless connection stability'..Dosent spefically makre...
Some Updates on the new Beta.
Unfortunately I encountered the occasional wifi drops but it's not as frequent as before.
I was in the same room as the router and I observed that prior to wifi drop, my mobile device will show very erratic wifi signal strength. Upon wifi drop, it reconnects back almost immediately however.
Hence the new Beta is still not perfect yet.

that suggests your device is roaming from sat to router etc , how close is the sat as it could be too much overlap and thats why the client device is going crazy
use something like inSSIDer and check out the db levels of the router and sat if standing in the same room as the router and the sat is else where the sat signal should be -60-70db or above
its a fine balance to get the backhaul connected well and not overlapping the transmissions
i fine that about 15 meters and a wall or so away is the best distance between router and sat

I do not think that was the case for me.
I was in the room for quite awhile and merely 10feet from the router.
The sattelite is located outside at the living room that is easily more than twice the distance away.
My mobile device was already showing strong signal in the room and i was streaming watching some videos on Facebook at that time.
I noticed the wifi icon on the notification bar started showing signal drop and up and down a few times followed by the wifi disconnect and reconnect again.
