Yes a couple of times and updated its firmware too.
That’s odd. Have you googled this? I’ve never once had my router ever drop my phone in the several years I’ve had it.

Yep Android and it's always up to date. This just started after installing the Nighthawk. That my carrier is T-Mobile would not have anything to do with this since it's a wifi issue.
Hard to tell Lou as I'm not using the other wifi devices nearly as much and my wife wouldn't know if her phone was on wifi or the cellular network lol. I'm an old network (pre-wifi) and RF guy but this has me kinda stumped. You Google it and it just gives the usual obvious BS like 'are you too far away from the router' lol.Haven’t had any issues like that on my end Jerry. Notice it with any other devices?

Not many at all 3 mostly off motion-sensing video cameras, a Google mini-home speaker (the one that also tells hilarious G-rated jokes lol) the main TV, and 1-2 cellphones. The router has more than enough bandwidth available for them.How many devices do you have connected to wifi
NETGEAR home routers can accommodate up to 32 clients per wireless band.Not many at all 3 mostly off motion-sensing video cameras, a Google mini-home speaker (the one that also tells hilarious G-rated jokes lol) the main TV, and 1-2 cellphones.

My cellphone is constantly checking for and receiving emails, texts, and messages from a couple Apps I use for my business so it's not for lack of activity my cellphone is disconnecting. It's not a bandwidth issue either, my network analyzer indicates I have way more available BW than I could ever use. No gamers in my house either.@Jerry Bransford just to add to this your older router could of had shorter license ratings for each device meaning after a certain amount of time without activity the device would be kicked off the channel it was occupying. If you have 32 channels to use and interference on 24 channels and longer lease times your 2.4 ghz band is full therefore kicking someone off.
I just checked and there's no priority setting available, that probably would have helped. Thanks for that suggestion though!It is likely not the cause of your problem based on what you are saying, but have you gone into the router and setting your device as the 'priority device'? I'm not sure if the Nighthawk does this but I set phone as the priority device in my Google mesh router and hardwired my computer. I don't care if the others in the house are having problems
