My Nighthawk XR500 drops WiFi on 2 of my devices.
So ever since I bought my XR500, my wife's 2 devices (iPad 2 and Samsung S5 Mini) drops WiFi ALL.THE.TIME.
Funny thing is, it's only those 2 devices that does this, out of maybe 8-10 devices we have in our houshold.
They get dropped no matter how many active users are on our network.
My connection is 250/250.
If you need any other info, please let me know! I desperately need help, as she's threatening to put our old Huawei GSM/Ethernet router back up instead, since she never got dropped from that.
I have Firmware-Version V2.3.2.40 on my XR500, Duma control panel say's there's no updates available.

I used the Netgear WiFi Analytics and connected to the least congested / best singal channel, for both 2.4 and 5.
There's no wireless devices near the router.
All my devices are manually connected to my WiFi.

Ah! No I didnt specify the IP/DNS. Just found on list of WiFi connections available and put in the password to connect.
It happens contiunously, connected, disconnected, connected, disconnected. It happens at all times, not only during specific tasks.

That's right >Settings >LAN Setup then click 'Add'.
The panel will then reload with a list of devices that have connected to the router. Click on each of the troublesome devices and assign them an IP address by clicking 'Add'. You can change the IP address to a different number if you like e.g. 192.168.1.77, but there's normally no need to change it from the address automatically assigned to it.

I wouldn't really know what to look for.
There's a lot of entries about 'Marking device that is marked', but the stated IP adresses on those entries, are not for the 2 devices that a being dropped.
The 'Marking' entries seems to occur ever 15-20 secs though, not sure if this is of importance.
