Hi FranklySpeaking,
When you are able to, you can try doing a factory reset as we usually recommend after a firmware update. Please keep us posted on the results and your observations.

Hi FranklySpeaking,
Welcome to the community!
1. Please indicate the exact firmware version of the extender.
2. Is the extender configured in AP mode or extender mode?
3. What is the status of the extender LEDs when the connection drops?
4. Have you tried resetting the extender?

Yes... still having multiple issues.
Firmware version is V1.0.1.164 and I have reset the router.
Sometimes, even after immediately restrarting, there is no 2G network being broadcast.
After a few hours of operation, devices will drop but there is still a 2G network being broadcast. We I connect to "mywifi" to check the status, I receive an error message that states "Checking JS support" and am unable to connect.
The reliability of the device seems to be getting worse.
