Same issues here. Started last Friday 8/13 (Friday the 13th. Hmmm). Anyway kept dropping 5G all throughout the weekend. Worked all day Monday (as far as I know),  now Tuesday 8/17, its gone again but really gone (see Ring is offline since around 7am). I havent' been home to reset it but that seems to be the only fix, reset the entire thing, but now when it goes off it stays off. I also am on v1.0.2.82 and I see there is a new Firmware now so will try that tonight, but not very hopeful. If anyone else has had this and fixed it please let us know. Thanx.
