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?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
Is IPv6 enabled on the RBR?
Who is the ISP your connected with?
Please post a screen capture of the routers debug page. router IP address/debug.htm

Does the front LED turn PINK or RED when this happens?
How is the IPv6 configured?
Using Auto IPv6?
Can you try a custom IPv6 DNS address configuration? Try Cloudfare or Quad9 or Google IPv6 DNS addressing?
Also might try putting a USB fan on top of the RBR. Others have posted doing this stopped theres from rebooting or disconnecting.

Yes IPv6 is in Auto. Same as it was on my previous 853 set up with know issues. Not Tech savvy enough to start playing with custom DNS Addressing.
Not sure on the color? I'm Not in the room where the Modem and Router are much. When it disconnected this morning I was in a room with a Satellite and it was blinking white when I looked at it.
I don't feel that I should have to put a fan on a product that I paid $2,300 for to get it to work properly.
I am going to monitor it and if the problem continues it will go back and I will switch from Netgear to maybe TP Link I've read good things about their wifi 7 devices.

Seen some users post that some ISP IPv6 DNS maybe causing problems.
If you can't set up a custom IPv6 DNS configuration, would disable the IPv6 protocol on the RBR and then monitor for any more disconnections?So the RBS front LED was blinking white, hmmm.
How many RBS are deployed?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router 📡 and satellite(s)🛰️?What channel configurations are currently set on the router?
Which port is the RBR connected to on the Arris modem?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
