Firestick loses connection to router
I have a frustrating issue with my Firestick 4k. My system is an RBR750 router with 2 RBS750 satellites connected wirelessly in daisy chain (it's a long house). The Firestick is literally 4 feet...

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
IT's up to devices to pick and chose where they connect too.
Try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try setting 40Mhz only coexistence Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
