What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
What WPA security modes are you using? WPA2 and AES only.
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

What is the best settings to use on the router to get optimal reliability? Whats the best for multiple users that stream and game. I have full signal in the entire house and I still keep getting disconnects and unstable connections. What should I do?
Currently I have an ARRIS - SURFboard 8 x 4 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem.
The firmware on router is V2.3.1.48.
The house is about 4000sq ft
The distance between router and sats are under 30ft.
We have about 3 to 4 neighbors with WiFi. The channels are on auto and its on WPA2.
Daisy chain is disabled along with 20/40Mhz.
There a model # for the modem?
I would set the sats to at least 30 feet. Any thing under maybe too close....
Try manual channels
Arris model# CM3200A
- In the advanced section of
the mgmt console, I run the three wireless options on the bottom of the screen set to on. They are off by default.
Daisychain off only works for you if devices arranged as hub and spoke.
Find a way to run WiFi analyzer on an Android phone or tablet and use it to pick the best channel.
Short of all that, next thing to try is a full on factory reset.
