I have found the issue is the latest firmware.
When I install the firmware prior to it, NO DROPOUT.
Keeping it that way until NETGEAR gets their **bleep** together!!!

Great but what's are "iPhone preferred settings" ?
Don't foget
You are here because your setup was not working correctly according to what the manufacturer made you believe...troublefree wifi 6 capability, wonderful wifi/lan peace and unity.
In reality your city was burned.
If you turn these super expensive fuctions you bought the router for, all is well. Its a no brainer according to netgear.
- Exactly, if you have to turn off smart connect for the device to work correctly, it is a work around not a solution.
I have smart connect enabled on my EX8000 and it works without issues.
The same for my ISP non branded router.
Smart Connect is not a new feature, I've had it for the last 5 year's and it works flawlessly.
Its just one of multiple things the doesn't work properly in the Netgear RAX80.
