Okay, I have a new AP installed in the garage with the printer. Its a TP-Link Pharos with b/g/n @ 2.4 GHz. The printer now has its own SSID and its isolated from the DECO system. I'm at about 30 minutes with no disconnections. I am running channel 6 with WPA2-psk with AES and 0 db of antenna boost. This Pharos unit lets me control everything through its web interface.
For reference: I had a TP-Link DECO M5 system for years and it ran great. When we bought the new house a couple of months ago, I upgrade to the Newest, fastest DECOs that support wifi 6E (its an XE 75). The system works great, but this isn't the first device on 2.4Ghz that I have found a little flaky.

Regarding the M350 line:
I'm not sure why i am not using x16. I feel like there was a reason for this years ago when Initially set this up. I think that I might have been worried about the weight of the z-axis. At the time, I had 2 ballscrews connecting an aluminum plate x axis. I think I might have been concerned about the drop off in holding torque for x16 microstepping (maybe wrongly, but I think that was the reason).
Now my setup is 4 independent z-axis motors each controlling a ballscrew to do mesh leveling and remove some of the twist in the heated bed. That system works great.
If its okay, I might leave this alone for now, but I can test moving to x16 once I have everything moving again.
M350 X16 Y16 Z4 U16 E16:16 I1 ; configure microstepping with interpolation
I think you are suggesting that I should do this:
M350 X16 Y16 U16 E16:16 I1 ; configure microstepping with interpolation
M350 Z4 I0
Update: Well.....she is up and printing again..... Thanks for all the help. WIFI is infinitely more stable now. I'll do a few test prints, dial everything in real good and then I'll have a look at the z axis x16 settings
