What happens if you disable Armor? Been some posts in othre forums about Armor causing some problems. 

 

I don't run Armor and have never seen any issues with my 8 series Orbi system, v25 and now on v32 FW. 

Using default CTS values now, not 2347 and AX mode is enabled. System has been solid since v32.

I have been experiencing similar disconnects of with my RBR850/RBS850 setup over the past few weeks. I did not experience this problem during the first few weeks of ownership. It happens 3-4 times a day now, and when I check my hardware, neither my router nor my cable modem indicate any problems - no lights are active or blinking as if a problem was present. If I do nothing, the connection is restored after 1-3 minutes. 

 

I have an ARRIS SB8200 cable modem and my Internet service is 300 Mbps through Shentel. Firmware version is V3.2.15.25_1.3.15, which it has been since the beginning. I purchased the 3-pack (1 router/2 satellites) and installed it on the day of delivery, which was May 26th. The dropouts became apparent about 3-4 weeks ago; prior to that, it was working seamlessly. I've done a total reset and reconfiguration once, not because of the dropouts, but to register the RBR850 router with my Netgear Armor subscription. I have one unit at different levels of our split-level home.

Since Armor isn't free (and I just paid the renewal for a year!), if Armor is the cause of problems, I'm those who paid for it and are using it will want to know about it pronto so that we can bring this up to Netgear and get our money back! :)
