There is already solutions/fixes ready but have not been released to public yet due to ongoing quality assurance testing. If you will like to test this firmware early please send me a message directly.

Any updates on when the new firmware will be released? This problem has been on going for couple of months already and whith no clear visibility on when Pixel8 phone will be able to have a stable wifi connection.
This is very frustrating to say the least to have this end user experience after paying $2,700 for a wifi solution, not having a smartphone stay connected to the router makes me wonder if Netgear even tested their solution before releasing to the public.

No I did not see that post. Thanks for sharing.
I just updated the firmware on router/satellites, fingers crossed this will solve the problem of internet disconnect on Pixel 8.
