Called support.
They walked me through manually updating firmware. Went from 3.2.16 (see first post for rest of version number) to 3.2.17.12_1.4.14. The router did not see this automatically for some reason.
I just pushed the satellite firmware update as well, so I guess we will see now what happens.

- Set CTS to 2347. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings.

I am trying to learn more about this :
Armor, Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Set CTS to 2347. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
I disabled Armor a while back.
I have googled and read up on the coexistence and CTS. Not sure about preamble stuff yet. Does this make the connections better? - FURRYe38Jan 25, 2021Guru - Experienced User
Let us know how it goes. Also try the suggested CTS change.

Thanks Furry. I will.
I did change CTS to 2347.
I also cranked it back up to 100% signal.

Sounds good.
