2.4GHz and 5GHz dropped randomly.
After talking with xfinity, it seems to be a netgear issue. Is there a reason why my box would drop out like that? My box is a little over a year old so it’s I don’t think that is the issue.
You'll have to say a bit more before anyone can begin to diagnose what is going on at your end.
For example, what tells you that the wifi drops? Do the LEDs on the thing go off. What have you done to confirm that the modem/router is the problem rather than your wifi clients?
