I am experiencing identical issues with connection drops
I am experiencing identical issues with connection drops, my iOS phones being unable to connect, HP computers dropping connectivity, etc. Basically, it's like hell right now with Netgear:
BE27000 Mesh WiFi System (RBE973S)
Orbi 970 Series Quad-Band WiFi 7 Mesh System, 27Gbps, 3-Pack, 1-year NETGEAR Armor included
Can someone please assist. Thanks. --- Ben.
