M6 PRO Wifi Signal Dropping Out
We have a M6 Pro Nighthawk modem which has been great & worked very well the past couple of years. The Nighthawk is connected directly to power with no battery fitted & has a couple of wifi camera...
stephen, Autoben,
About 8-10 years ago l had put together this little 1080P HD NightVision Camera that has builtin wifi running at 2.4Ghz, of which the camera did include a tiny builtin internal battery, so that it would be able keep setup configurations on the SD card. However, I had to attached a USB external Battery pack to power the Wifi camera for about 8-12 hours approx. At that time, I had ISP broadband connection at home, which included ISP cable modem connectivity with both 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz.
The problem that I had with this little camera, was the wifi connection was't stable enough, while it was connected to the ISP cable modem will sometimes lose wifi connection . So I got around the problem by getting a "Home Mesh Wifi System" which has support for both 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz Dual Channels . This little camera had a Fixed IP Address that couldn't be changed at all. So I had to configure one of the main mesh cube box, the one that is connected directly to the cable modem ethernet port. This idea might give you some other option, or ideas for your lost of wifi connectivity issue.
I have not tested it yet, with my mobile routers MR6450 & MR7450. I have been a bit little busy with some other stuff.

This isn't what is happening here, since all devices are losing internet service, and none are experiencing wifi connection loss.
There's nothing in the symptoms Autoben has reported so far that points to the cameras as the cause/trigger.
