I have a RS600 that drops WiFi signal daily like 4-5 times every day
I have a RS600 that drops WiFi signal daily like 4-5 times every day since purchased a month ago. My old X10 never dropped signal. I have two EXS27 extenders around my home and will unplug those to see if that's the issue. I've read disable IPV6 so I'll try that also. BEEN A HORRIBLE PURCHASE FOR $500 SO FAR... HATE IT

What firmware is loaded on the RS router?
How big is the home in sq feet?
What channels are you using on the RS router?
Distances between the RS router and the EXS extenders?
What brand and model# is the ISP modem that the router is connected too?
I've not seen this with my RS600, though I don't use EXS extenders.

What happens when WiFi "drops"?
- In a certain length of time, WiFi returns by itself and devices reconnect?
- WiFi remains unavailable until the RS600 is restarted?
This affects every device connected via WiFi?
What happens to devices that are connected with Ethernet?

Did that make any difference?
