Here is my set-up at home, two Radios and a Touch. Red Radio (LMS reports 100% signal strength as it located on other side of the wall from the router) is connected to my primary Arris NVG468MQ. Black Radio (LMS reports 90-83% signal strength) and the Touch (LMS reports 100% signal strength which is 2 feet away from the router) are connected to a second access point using an older NetGear router. I do not have wifi problems with the Black Radio or the Touch. I have replaced the Arris provided by the internet provider, and the problem still occurs.
The Red Radio will drop the Wifi connection either in standby or while streaming music. Switching Red Radio to the secondary access point results in a LMS reported signal strength of 68-73%, but it drops the Wifi more frequently so the primary access point works better. If I take Red to my office the problem disappears. If I move Black to where Red is located the problem occurs on the Black radio. I suspect the problem is due to my neighbor installing a wifi extender as the problem appeared about the time he installed the extender. We coordinated on Wifi channels, so we are not using the same or overlapping channels, but the problem still exists. Using a Wifi analyzer I also see a mesh network that is using a wide band (channels 2-10) that overlaps my primary router on channel 1, but the signal strength is less than -85 dBm. When the red symbol appears, the Repair Network will not fix the connection and trying to select my secondary access point network will not work. I have to reboot to clear the problem. Thus based upon my experience, even with a very high signal strength the problem will occur at least daily. If I move Red to other locations and the signal strength weakens then the problem occurs more frequently. I moved Red to my bedroom which is close to my neighbor and it would drop within an hour or so. I hope this helps. If any other information would be helpful, please let me know. If you need logs, then I will need some education on how to do that.
