S8+ here with the same symptoms. All other wireless appears okay. Maybe its a Samsung issue but samsung also blames Netgear so we are caught in the middle. I'm on verizon so I havent gotten the August update yet, hopefully they snick in a wifi/software fix. It would be nice to hear if any beta software is helping or being worked on from the Netgear end, even if its a workaround samsungs' problems.

I was able to install the Beta firmware last night Beta 2.0.0.62-debug - Did not fix the Wifi issue from what I could tell but was only able to try it for less than 10 minutes last night and started to drop connection within 5 minutes so I went back to my Guest network until I have more time to test.. Starting to think this is more of a Samsung thing after googling around..

I'm thinking its a samsung thing as well. I wonder what is different about the netgear guest network than the main network?

Unsure what the difference is, but setting up the guest network totally and completely solved the problem for me.
- LuisfernanAug 28, 2017GuideFor me too. Don't know what's the difference but it's working like a charm so far
