Contacted NG support and they could offer no explanation or suggestion except to reinstall the router from scratch which didn't work.

  Agreed, not really a solution. The app is terrible to use this way.

  Just to make sure, I've just tested it again and it's not disconnecting.
  
  I hope it helps, but I'd rather get a working update.
