Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
Does the front LED on the MR and MS appear AMBER when this happens?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between MR📡 and MS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

Both times it was some issue with the MR60 that required a factory reset. Once the reset has completed, everything seems to work properly. I'm just curious if anyone else is having similar issues. Is it possible that it could be an issue with the firmware? Can these be rolled back?
Thanks
