DHCP not working - RS200
Devices keep disconnecting after roughly 24 hours. The smart home devices disconnect and phones that don't have a static IP address disconnect or show a captive portal that is blank and states "Sign into NETGEAR34". Rebooting the router reconnects the devices again. Downgrading from the current firmware version (1.2.7.2) to 1.0.6.22 seems to have fixed the DHCP issues.

Was a factory reset performed after v1.2.7.2 was loaded and setup from scratch to see if this changed anything?
What channels are being used on the RS router? Try manual channels 1 and 40 or 11 and 48?
Static IP addressed devices are addresses set ON devices, not the router. IP address reserviations are set ON the router.
Try changing the default WiFi SSID name from default to something else. Not reccommended to use the default SSID name.
