Is the CBR40 dropping wired internet access with a wired PC?
Is there any top led ring inidication turning on? Pink or Blue? White?
Bsure your using good quality RG6 coax cable between the ISP service box and the CBR40.
Ensure there are no coax line splitters between the ISP service box and the CBR40.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

I have confirmed with the ISP (Suddenlink) and neighbors that there are no outages in our area.
Provided the ISP with the device MAC address.
I have spent quite a bit of time with Netgear Technical support. They suggested changing the channels- didnt really help.
I have the satellite (RBS20) connected by ethernet in the basement
I have attached the event log to see if that additional information can help.
