R9000 DROPPING WIFI EVERY 15-20 MINS
Neatgear Nighthawk R9000 X10
Firmware V1.0.4.12
QoS is already turned off (was never set up)
Wifi randonly drops off for about 30 secs about every 15-20 mins. This is mostly noticable on the 2....
Update:
Nothing I tried fixed the issue and I got really tired of spending so much time trying to fix it that I returned it and made a switch to a different brand...
mine keeps dropping 5g only

Yes, I would downgrade. I'm not going to say things are perfect on the older firmware (my Sony HT-Z9F 5GHz keeps crashing; I've just stuck it on the 2.4 for now) but it is certainly way better. Aside from the aforementioned Sony, all my other devices are fine. For example, my XBoxOne X used to have its WiFi driver crash and a hard power cycle was required to recover with the current firmware (while most devices would just lose connection for a few seconds); I haven't had a single WiFi issue with my XBoxOne X since downgrading. My gaming from all my other WiFi devices has been flawless since downgrading as well.

In my ticket to Netgear (which is still open) I illustrated that the issue is only for the 5GHz; the 2.4GHz devices and the hardline devices experience not even the slightest blip in latency or performance.
I am still waiting to hear back.Any update on this issue?
I'm tired of my 5 GHz clients dropping every 20-30 minutes.
Firmware is V1.0.4.2.
Uptime on LAN on version 1.0.4.2
02:20:21:36
Uptime on WIFI on version 1.0.4.2
27 minutes.
So version 1.0.4.2 I was able to keep WIFI for 2 days and 20 hours before it went offline. much better than 15-20 minutes of last time but still would like WIFI to stay online forever.
