Remote drops FF/Stop requests

I have a Genie video bridge and C41W wireless client. This setup often does not respond to FF/FR and Stop requests. This has been a consistent problem following the install over a year ago, but I thought it was my equipment placement and possible signal interference from my WiFi.

What I have done:

1. Reset the WVB with power cycle

2: Reset the C41W, also power cycle

3. Removed an external HDMI switch

4. Changed RC72 from RF to IR.

5. Reverted to RC72 to RF

6. Moved the C41W to a different location

7. Swapped Remotes RC73 and RC72

At times the FF request seems to work with a Long press, but repositioning is difficult.

In a different area I have a wired C51 remote that is ok.

Any ideas?

DTV doesn't use your Home WiFi the WVB and the mini setup their own network that only they can use.  Have you done a red button reset on the Genie?

I was unable to connect with the DIRECTVhelp (DirecTV Community Specialist) several days ago, and my problem still persists.

If possible, I would really appreciate the expertise that is available!
