DHCP Internet Issues
Hope this helps someone. I have experienced issues with devices losing their IP address and same with my Orbi RBR850 and satellites. Happened back in October 2022 and again last week. After many...

You aren't alone with this. Just bought a MyQ and found the same weird thing where despite resetting the NightHawk and resetting the internet cable that with MyQ connected certain other things like my phone could no longer connect to the Wifi. Powering down MyQ and restarting NightHawk everything then connects again (I don't have 80 things but do have 30 things conneced). I could then power up and reconnect the MyQ. What I've done for now is isolate it onto my guest wifi which is 2.4 GHz. The house private wifi was set up as Smart, but even when I undid that the myQ was messing things up. Would love to know what the issue is here

I have to agree for reason's unknown for now, moving the myQ to the Guest Network, has brought stability back to my network. What was even more disappointing, is Netgear's Gearhead Premium support in this matter.
But hey, network is happy, wife and kids as well.

Interesting. Wonder why your device would be causing problems when connected to the main Wifi network...
