NightHawk x10 r9000 wifi dropping issue

FYI to all:

I called Netgear support to tell them flashing the firmward didn't work, so they are going to replace the unit.  I exeplained to the representative that there were mutliple users complaining of the same issue on the community site, and he told me that the team that handles the advanced issues (tiger team, he called it) told him to replace the unit.  There wasn't anything else he could do.  

Maybe if the next unit has the same problem they will finally engage engineering, as no one seems to be watching this community site.
