Make sure you are not using an SSID that someone else in range is using, or you can run into issues if a device tries to connect to a neighbors AP with the password you set for your current WiFi router.

Thank you! When I reset the router back to defualt and setup a second time I changed the SSID names but used the same password. Would that cuase any issues? I have about 30 devices attached about 20 of them are WIFI wall and light switches. The rest are TVs, Computures, Moble devices Razor512
- Razor512Feb 16, 2022ProdigyIf the new SSID is different from others in range (e.g., not using the same SSID as a nearby neighbor) then that should be fine, and there will be no need for additional changes, especially since that would take a ton of work redoing the setup for the IOT devices to have them connect to a new SSID.

Nope the SSID names are not in use by anyone else in range. The router needing to be rebooted daily is still happening. Very frustating as it worked great for about a year. From from a Nighthawk to a Nightmare.
No Support and Comcast says its the router and if Netgear had custoemr support they would say it is Comcast. I have had Comcast for over 20 years and never had this ever happen before - sure it goes down but not mutliple reboots per day.
Hope someone else has same issue and found out the root cuase and will share.
