RAXE450 Wifi 6E Router - Wifi Quit Working
Everyday my wifi quits working and I need to reset my router. It's getting very frustrating and I don't know what is causing it. Nothing new has been added to my network. I have a Netgear RAXE450 Wifi 6E router I got from Costco less the 1 year ago. Appreciate any guidance on how to fix this issue and trouble shoot the cause. I have 5GB of Fiber coming into my home. Broadband provider wired IPTV services work fine and fiber connection works fine through my ATT Fiber box. It's just my Netgear that loses internet.

"your att fibre box". What actual model is it?
A bunch of them are modem/reouter combo devices and cause a double nat.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.

Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1.
1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions.
2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference
3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features.
