What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.

Could get another modem or get a WiFi AP system and install it in AP mode, while leaving the C6250 in router mode and disable it's WiFi radios. Or use the C6250 in modem only mode then connect up a external WiFi router system.
The C6250 is getting older in age and may not be working great for your needs. May need to get something new.
