Forgot to mention, recommended to factory reset after installing previous version of F/W

1.0.2.88 Firmware does not fix the issue. Both Wifi bands completely drop and dissappear for a few minutes. Can anyone recommend another brand that works well for them? My R7000 works better than the RAX200 but I have a lot of devices so I was looking for a better router. The RAX200 is not.

This is the first app I pull up whenever I have suspected issues with connectivity:
https://www.pingplotter.com/download
At first it may look rather cryptic but actually it tells you a lot and really narrows down where the problem is in terms of IP addresses-when an image of the PingPlotter is saved and provided to the ISP it provides both parties a clear picture of what is going on with your connection. Packet loss of course occurs whenever there are disconnects-this app pinpoints where the packet loss occurs first-that is where you need to focus your attention-do no be surprised if it is not your router. Give it a try and post your results here-a picture is worth a thousand words and there are a lot of people far more knowledgable than myself that can contribute a wealth of information. Hope this helps.

I ended up going to back to V1.0.1.12_1.0.41. It is not perfect but V1.0.2.8_1.0.45 was bad. My router went offline overnight until I powered cycled in the morning.

I am now updated to Firmware version V1.0.2.88.0.50 it has been stable for me. Other than trying to upsell me to the Netgear Armor that I do not want,
