Greetings,
The Wi-Fi on my R8000P is 100% stable, and has been for years.
What FW revision are you running?
How did you install this FW? Automatically, manually, etc?
What troubleshooting steps have you performed? If you'd like assistance, you will need to provide more information beyond I'm having "lots of Wi-Fi drops on my R8000P"?
We'll await your reply.

Just downgraded to V1.4.0.10_1.2.14 on the firmware. Seeing if that helps. I have changed channels, and every other possible fix in the vaarious threads. This FW version I did a manual install and have turned auto update off
Devices will connect and then after an hour or so the wifi just stops working. Have to disconnect and reconnect to get it back up. The longer it goes the more frequent the drops. This seems to be a common issue for some. I have tried every possible troubleshooting option from network reset, new wifi cards and lots more.
