The latest firmware 1.0.5 Build 20210420 Rel. 75992 came out a month back and said it improved stability and backhaul performance.
After I update and it says ok I reboot everything just to check.
Why this is not FP and why its not getting more TU just shows how "knowledgeable" a lot of users on slick deals are. Cause I seen some single router and old mesh close to this price or more costly get a lot of love which cant compare to this in anyway.
Just to confirm your running the units in a mesh and not AP's correct? Only time I heard of the disconnection issue it was in mesh so just double checking.
Only two things you can really try, easiest power cycle the second unit and see if that fixes the problem. Check to see if both units are on the same firmware so there is not a mismatch. Do a factory reset of the second unit and set it up again.
The other thing I would watch out for, if any of the units are around any bluetooth or radio/microwave equipment move them away from those sources as when those things kick in it can make the radios go crazy.
If its only the ring devices having the issue, they are notorious for not playing well with mesh of any type, and peoples work around has been to put them on the guest network at 2.4ghz mode only.
If problem persists you are out of options return them, roll the dice on another set and see if you have better luck on round 2. I guess you have one more option, use your existing router and just use the devices in AP mode instead of Mesh.

Not that it is proof of anything but I have fast roaming, or whatever they call it, turned off and no disconnect issues.
If your looking for a good triband seems like they might be it, when I see some reviews on good performance numbers I will update but not sure when that will happen. Last review I saw person was getting around 600Mbps but I dont recall what his ISP speeds were.
When it comes to node disconnection issue it was more common the M9+s but even then it was a very small % of the 100ks of units sold. Right now from this forum you and two other guys reported it. Since I use my system as a single router since my space is too small for both I have never put my second unit through the paces to see for myself cause I would have way to much overlap between the two units messing me up.
edit: never mind, it seems the SSIDs cannot be separated.
And yes, I do have fast roaming on since the beginning.
