Wired and wireless keeps dropping

I keep getting intermittent network drops with WiFi and wired. I just checked the logs and got this:

23.246.6.184 for example seems to be Netflix which is being used right now.

 

I use Orbi with a Rogers Hiltron Modem which is connected via WAN port. I have also included a screen shot of my statics.

 

Any Ideas

Re: Wired and wireless keeps dropping

What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router

 

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. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

 

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

 

Above suggestions working:

Re: Wired and wireless keeps dropping

I’ve actually noticed this started occurring after the firmware upgrade!

Re: Wired and wireless keeps dropping

The distance is good between the router and sat

This is occurring with wired (RJ45) as well. I have noticed this started to occur after the latest firmware update.

I have not tried a factory wipe yet.
