I did a Wi-Fi channel reconfiguration which did help a little as the frequency of the disconnect diminished. I suspect these Wi-Fi extenders are using a separate channel which cannot be adjusted. Using a Wi-Fi analyzer, I see an unnamed channel spike and then disappear. I have looked at: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?109953-WiFi-connection-unstable-lost-on-three-Radios The link provided by jeroen2 is also helpful. I suspect Radio Wi-fi problem is due to some type of wi-fi extender or mesh network causing interference and the Radios are very sensitive to the issue. The good news my neighbor is willing to coordinate Wi-Fi channels. I may have to run a Cat5 for him and put in a second access point to eliminate his Wi-Fi extender. However, if the community firmware update is know to fix it, then that would be easier. I will try it with one of the Radios and see what happens.
