Intermittent connectivity/latency spikes/disconnects

I can't believe it's been going on that long for you. At least they should be able to point at what process is causing the issue. I've recently established an even stronger connection between this satellite and the main router and it's still doing the exact same thing. I noticed wired satellite traffic spikes latency about 100 ms but doesn't have any packet loss during the events.
I DM'd one of the netgear engineers who had posted recently on reddit just linking to my post there and pointing out those here, didn't get an acknowledgement. I hope they see it.
I'll be returning my system before the return window next week if we don't have an answer as to at least what it is. I can't afford to miss that window if this issue isn't going to be fixed.
