Thanks for the help FURRYe38.
I monitored the internet uptime using a simple chrome extension on both satellites and saw that the time of short outages seemed to be synced up. So then I monitored the wifi router and a sattelite and that also had outages happening at roughly the same time. To rule out a bad modem, I picked up a new CM1100 at Costco yesterday.
I have still seen small outages on the wifi network, based on the connection monitor log, but I haven't been able to monitor the modem to see if that is also getting the same dropped connections.
At the end of the day, it seems like the mesh network might not be the issue. However, it's still odd to have the wifi router report that the internet connection status is good when there is no working internet.
Thanks again for your help with troubleshooting.
