R6020 keeps loosing connection

I guess this is pretty hopeless since I already see threads about this with no solution. 

But I havent had this issues only with this model. It has been the same w/ previous models as well. It works fine for a while, but then the connection gets lost every few minutes, it seems, wherever I am in my aptm, and not only my pc but my other devices as well. It's pretty insane that Netgear doesn't provide support, since this clearly isn't an issue unique to me. It's costing me money since I had to upgrade my phone-subscription to be able to use it as a hotspot, because I'm stuck with a Netgear product I paid for that doesn't work. Any suggestions?
