RAX40 dropping signal

Anyone else experiencing signal loss randomly with latest firmware?   ISP is good, router works fine after reboot, but it's almost daily and sometimes twice a day.   Running Firmware V1.0.3.80_1....

    I ended up swapping for an ASUS AX3000. This being the final straw, I have had multiple issues over the last year and change from SmartConnect not working at all to spontaneous reboots. I couldn’t go much more than a week without some sort of issue.

I also got the ASUS AX3000 and I love it. It's been running about a week with no problems and the web portal and the app are so much more robust and visually superior. I was past my return date so I could not return it.

    if only swapping for a different modem/router was a viable option for me.. the RAX40 is straight up garbage and netgear are taking ages to release a new firmware for it.
