Just purchased this about a week ago. For the first couple of days, was having the same issue as everyone else here, but since assigning the satellites static IPs, it has been rock solid. The other thing I did (as a result of having issues with my Sonos) was changed the wireless channels for both 5gHz and 2.4gHz, based on what the Wifi analytics (in the app) told me were the best channels to use. I doubt changing the channels did anything, but assigning the static IPs sure seemed to help (as suggested by another user). Just wanted to post this, to confirm what others had suggested.

Hi Napoleond,
Welcome to the community! What firmware version is your Nighthawk mesh system currently on? You may check to see if there is a firmware update available for your system.

I'm having the same problem. I got the MR60 Mesh system at Costco last summer. It worked fine up until about three weeks ago. The satellites constantly are dropping the signal. I've checked to see if firmware updates are available but it say there aren't any available. I have Comcast 250MB internet. I switched to the Nighthawk from an Orbi because I found out that Orbi was not compatible with Comcast. Ugh. Any ideas?
