Have you tried to disable Smart Connect to see if that changes the drops?

    Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I have disable Smart Connect. Tried placing different devices/combinations on both bans. I've done multiple factory resets. Made sure to test wired connections during drops, modem was still online. Not sure what would be left to try. Only 7 months old, would hate to have to throw money at a new router.
