MS 60s stop connecting to MR60 about the same time everyday

I just bought the Nighthawk mesh sytem MR60 and 2 MS60s 4 days ago. The two MS60s stop working about the same time every day (7pm PST), Amber lights on both Satellites. I had to sync the satellites many times each day to get them re-connected to the MR60 router again.

I read somewhere that the MS 60s get an DHCP from the MR60 and expired every 24 hours, this variable can be changed but I could not find anywhere on the MR60's

settings. Last night, I assigned static IP addresses for both satellites, but they both still stop working at 7pm PST again.

I did not notice on the first day that the same proble happened but re-connected by themselves sometime later.

I also opened a Support case and interested to know if anyone has this same problem.

Firmware: V1.0.6.110_2_0.49
GUI: V1.0.6.110_2.1.46.1

Lot of things could cause problems as I've read all related posts.
1. Netgear's poor DHCP server;
2. Interferences with closely neighbor WIFI's using the same channel;
3. Double-NATing (when using two routers connecting together).

I'll close this post as I'll figure out myself. You pay what you get!!!

What modem/gateway is it connected to?
Is it only the satellites that drop or does the main router drop as well?

  Modem : Netgear CM1100 ---> Netgear X6 R7900
  ---> Netgear AX1800 MK63 ---> MS60 Sat-1 ---> MS60 Sat-2
  Only the Satellites dropped.
  
  (I've just added the R7900 back as an extra WIFI SSID).

    do you have the MK system in access point mode?
    otherwise it causes a double nat
