My mesh network drops out on my Samsung TV and my iPhone X pretty much every day. Noticeably, it will drop in the middle of streaming a movie or simply I notice Facebook pics are blank. I restart the router and modem and the issue resolved. But this is really aggravating after spending this much to update from AC1900. Any great resolutions here yet? It’s not a Windows 10 issue for me. The signal looks strong, but connectivity goes away randomly for all wifi connected devices.

Regards, NETGEAR Technical Support.- ArvleJun 01, 2020AspirantMy Samsung TV seems to be staying connected and buffering less. However, my Nighthawk App on iPhone X still has trouble staying connected. It warn “Issues Connecting” and gives option to try again. Nothing works until I tell my wifi to Forget this network and totally login fresh. Then the App sees the router and satellite again.
