Wifi Disconnecting
Recently my Gen 3 base station has been sending me a notification that the Wi-Fi has lost its Wi-Fi connection. Then about 45 seconds later a new notification that it has regained wifi. I have the most recent firmware. My router has not had a firmware update recently and it’s been restarted. The base station is about 10 feet from the router. I also have the latest firmware on the base station.
any ideas?

Reboot the base station fully (unplug from AC power AND disconnect the back up battery found on the bottom of the unit) and/or reboot your WiFi router would be the first thing I'd try.
Just curious, does this happen all day, every day? Or at specific times and/or days? I'm wondering if something is interrupting your Wi-Fi signal and if it's happening at roughly the same days/times then that might tell you who/what might be causing it. It's possible (even if unlikely) that your Wi-Fi is actually having a problem and your other devices are just more tolerant of a blip in Wi-Fi and/or just don't tell you they've lost Wi-FI as aggressively as your base station does.

@greenmymac I ran into this last summer, called support and did not get it resolved at first. Moved the base, no new electronics etc. A friend of mine who works as a network engineer suggested I check latency on my broadband and a few other items. Contacted my vendor (AT&T) and checking and found out there were "quality issues in our area" and they were working on it. About 24 hours later, no further issues. you may want to reach out to your provider.

Sighhhhhh... Frustration continues. Had the basestation replaced and experienced the same issue. So I created a separate network JUST for the base station, and changed from wifi channel 5 to channel 11 to cut out some of the interference. But the issue still happens. I am at a loss and my only thought now is the most recent firmware on the base station is the cause.
Thoughts?

Did you ever get this resolved? My base station is now doing the same thing you described.
