Once back on line I was asked to monitor it for 12/24 hours. It has now been 2.5 and I'm still connected. Hopefully, all my issues were configuration related and that simple toggle takes care of things. Will update progress in coming days. Thank you, jmizoguchi, for pointer and thanks to "Cathy Lyn" at chat support for quick response and hopefully a solution......

I connected to the 5 GHz band 24 hours ago and have not had a drop. (It had been 12 hours prior to that on 2.4 Ghz without a drop.) The frequent resets and drops have been absent.

I had been on and off the system for those 36 hours and expect to be randomly using as such until about 36 Hrs from now (now being 8/30 Friday at 8:10 PM EST)

Sunday (9/1 and over the Labor day holiday til Tuesday morning it will get significant use - web searching, streaming, etc. - so if I can make through that without a glitch I'l consider it "burned in"....
I hope.....
