What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.

Try disabling the following and see:

Thanks. I will try some of these suggestions.
Distance between server and satellites has worked fine for last year or more. closest neighbor is 1/4 mile, so not a factor.
