Nighthawk R800p wifi goes offline

After about a week or 2 of uptime, my Wifi goes offline.  The SSID's are no longer transmitted.  A SW reboot does not resolve the issue.  Only a power cycle will bring the WIFI back online.

 

I have a Cisco Meraki router with the R8000p setup as in AP mode.

I also have a Netgear R7000 setup in AP mode to provide strong WIFI coverage in the whole house.

    What channels are you using between the host router, R7000 and R8000 routers? 

    All should be using far apart channels.

     

    What is the distances between the host router, R7000 and R8000 APs? 30 feet or more to begin with. 

     

    What FW is loaded on these routers? 

     

    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
