RBR750 Constantly Dropping Connection

OMG is the purpose of this device to cause pain? As I am writing this from my phone the WiFi from the new RBR750 i just purchased is dropping in and out. My wife who tried to work at home today wants to kill me. Is it to advanced for human kind to pull off? I like the fix suggestions. They gave me a real headache. Are you kidding me? How about I plug the thing in and turn it on, ok? That’s what I need. Something that just works. Wow. What a bummer.

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?Try using some of these setting here:
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.

Armor, Circle, Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set CTS to 2347. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless SettingsHas a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

I called my internet company (COX), to send someone to check my incoming connections and they found that they had a really bad splitter that was causing interruptions. They changed the splitter, and I do not have the issue anymore. Somehow this was not an issue withe earlier routers.

Glad it was the ISP thing. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
