Hi Mkoish and Bob_Ross,
Please check this firmware and see if the same problem.

Hello, I have this router for about a month now. It is working great in the first couple of weeks, but recently I have been having disconnects everyday and even on multiple times a day. I am using the latest firmware version V1.1.0.42_1.0.1. I am not sure if the latest firmware is causing this but some people in this thread said that backing out to earlier firmware does not help.
I have just tried switching the router's MAC address to my laptop's so I will see if this fixes the problem or not.
If this does not work either, netgear really needs to recall this product and either fixing it, or give full refund. My 30 days return windows has just expired a few days ago, if I knew a lot of people having this problem I would have returned it.
Exact same issue, and I have an Amcrest IP cam (the 720p model). Going to try and assign it a static IP/DNS and hopefully that will fix the issue. I've been running that camera for 18 months with my previous router (Asus RT-N66U) and never had a single DNS issue. This is gointg to make me very unlikely to buy Netgear next time due to the amount of time I have had to spend troubleshooting this issue.
