NO, it does not. Now when I move around between the three (1 Router) and (2 satellites) I have IOS devices that I literally have to turn OFF the wifi for 15 seconds and turn it back on to get it to w...

Since removing the wireless satellite and just have the Router and one wired satellite I am now on almost day 3 with no issues. FYI. The 3rd is siting back here in the closet in the box. I had that satellite transmitting 100' to the garage and it seems it just couldn't handle it even at 2.4ghz. even though it was line of site. I guess I will put up a wireless point to point after I let this sit here and make sure there are no more issues for a few days, guess I will have a satellite for sale.

There a chance you could get some CAT6A STP in between the home and the garage out at 100 feet? If you can, then you can still use the 2nd RBS.
Possible maybe a power line setup in between the two buildings but the remote building would need to be on same power circuit.
Ya, 100 feet away maybe just to far.
Can you give the brand and model# of the ONT please for reference.
What is the distance between the RBR and RBS?
How big is the home in sq feet?

Kind of takes away from having a $600 satellite when I can do it for $150 PTP and two panels. No, I'm not digging up my yard for a Cat cable when these things cost $1800.
Funny thing is everything in the garage is working with the wired satellite here in the house but just on 2.4, I would like some more speed. But the two satellites couldn't talk to each other that far? Makes no sense at all.
The only time I have had any lick with power is if it's on the same circuit and they are not. I have 2 of them laying in the closet as well.

Austin,
Can you open up a case for this please?

Did the front LED on the RBR or RBS turn on blinking WHITE or RED when this happened?
Can you please confirm the iOS Version numbers on your apple devices for reference.
Can you change 2.4Ghz to channel 11 as channel 9 is not a primary channel.
Can you give the brand and model# of the ONT please for reference.
What is the distance between the RBR and RBS?

Hard to nail down what maybe happening or troubleshoot with out more details and feedback to questions presented.

This is a router issue only right now. The WIFI is staying up but the router will loose internet connectivity for a minute or so. Sometimes seconds. So fast it doesn't even dump some people on my server.
I have 12 IOS devices in this house. They are all up to date is all I can say 4 Apple TV, 3 iPads, 2 iPhones, 2 Mac, 1 Mack book pro.
When looking at my spec an, channel 11 is saturated with a local cable company and their WIFI. If I move it to 11 it's useless with the noise floor on that channel.
ONT is a Nokia XS-010X-Q
RBR and RBS is 30' but they are wired backhaul.
Home is only 1300 Sq, feet but older and has real plaster with lathe board and chicken wire in the walls. Like a faraday cage basically. I sent Netgear everything they asked for. I am even logging the debug files at this point. Wife is stopping by and purchasing a Deco BE16000 today and I'm setting it up. We will see if the issue goes away. I don't have the time to put up with this every day.
